Whoever claimed that curling was boring should have watched the women's gold medal game between Canada and Sweden.
Just over and was tight until Sweden made one mistake in the 9th end, allowing Canada to earn a commanding lead.

I have a feeling the ice hockey game at noon will be a tad more exciting.

But, congratulations to the Canadians for the gold in women's curling! I'm wondering when they'll
have 'Senior Women's Shuffleboard' as an Olympic event.

Well Johnny, I suppose curling lacks the slam bang, shoot 'em up type of activities y'all are so fond off.
There's a lot of strategy and thinking involved, along with the skill level found in Olympic class athletes.

The problem is, he's a crappy shot.

I've got to admit, I find women's hockey a little more interesting. But I can understand that it
might be too slam, bang, shoot'em up for you.

They probably also like ribbon dancing in the summer Olympics. And True
North as a janitor has to admire the broom work in Curling.

Dippin' into that Kalifornia wine again, Billy?

Curling is a participation sport Poco. You have to play it to
understand it. You know it wouldn't be there if it wasn't worthy and
you have to admit that watching a baseball game can sometimes be as
exciting as watching paint dry. Unless you are watching from the
playing field.

Gotta admit, I'm not much of a baseball fan either. I didn' find the game difficult to understand. I
found it difficult to develop much enthusiasm.

Besides, it's a sociable way of pulling Don's chain!
