I think we should all "heavily invest ourselves" in curling. I'm serious. It's nail biting tense!

They were just advertising today on the local radio for membership to the local curling club.

The funny thing is, I watch, I listen carefully to the announcers, and I can't figure out what the heck is going on. It looks like shuffle board? How do they score?

Why do sometimes they move go out front and move the rocks out of the way, and sometimes they don't?(After the shot)

Curling became somewhat of a cult sport in Britain last Olympics. People gathered at the pubs, had a few pints and watched those stones glide across the ice.

I love it :-)

BTW: Just reading that so far in the Olympics: Curling has the best TV ratings in Italy. Even more than figure skating.

Curling rules :-)

Norway playing Italy at the moment. A must win game for Norway, since we lost to you guys. GO Norway.
