I can’t help myself when its on. My clicker finger quits working and the drool begins to flow.
I’m thinking it’s some kind of Canukistani secret weapon.

Curling is like that other great Scottish invention golf — a social game for all ages; best enjoyed with a beer near at hand.

Curling is thought to have been invented in late medieval Scotland, with the first written reference to a contest using stones on ice coming from the records of Paisley Abbey, Renfrewshire, in February 1541. Two paintings (both dated 1565) by Pieter Bruegel the Elder depict Dutch peasants curlingScotland and the Low Countries had strong trading and cultural links during this period, which is also evident in the history of golf.

Im thinking its some kind of Canukistani secret weapon.I grew up in Detroit. One of my memories as a kid is coming home from church on Sunday and watching curling on the Canadian TV station. We never tried to figure out the rules, but it was certainly intriguing viewing.
