The first time I saw it, I thought it must be some kind of joke.

I think curling players (curlers?) must have some mad house-cleaning skills.

I agree, they don't show it enough on TV for me to learn it. But I like it!😏

It's actually very entertaining to watch. A lot of strategy involved, like chess. I'd like to see more of it but it's a shame I would have to wait 4 years to see it again.

is the 'sweeping' with brooms is a classic and hard to explain to anyone who has never seen the sport before !

I'm with original poster. Don't understand it, but looks fascinating and itneresting. seems it is like bocce ball of sorts but balls don't stay put on ice, hence the stones. The women of curling tend to be cuties indeed!

Cripes, I finally found men's curling on some odd channel, not the normal NBC where they're showing all the other stuff.

yes - it is sort of like chess - except that in addition to having to make the right decision to say move your rook to e7, there'd be the chance that when you slid your rook down the ice, you might "miss" and have it land on e6 or e8 instead.

Now there's an idea - curling chess! Something for the next Winter Olympics!

Watching the curling final now. Go, pants, go!

Is that like the process through which my pubic hair shapes itself?
I though you wore that off last month?
