Curling is a game of Tactics, more complex than Checkers/Draughts but less so than Chess. Every member of the Team takes a roughly equal part in the game which requires neither extremes of strength nor fitness, but does require you to improve your pliability and muscular control. It is a skill based sport so, at a Club level, there is no telling who will be the better. Young can compete with old, men with women. All on an entirely equal basis. 573857@blogcritics.org Wed, 11 Apr 2007 13:49:30 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/04/06/125034.php#comment-572128 There's something hypnotic and utterly Canuck about curling. Heck, they even made a movie about it called 'Men with Brooms.' My friend once made a remark on the shcool bus that outed all of us. He basically said that if you're channel surfing on a Saturday afternoon you'll end up watching five hours of curling. I've been known to do this. Sweep you effen whore! Sweep! Deeper! Harder! Slut! 572128@blogcritics.org Sat, 7 Apr 2007 14:07:21 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/04/06/125034.php#comment-571965 LOL!
