jjbrr Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Figure skating is for pervs. Curling is for those of us with fine taste in athletic competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winstonm Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 After further reflection, it appears to me that not only is curling a damn fine excuse to get drunk during the winter, but it looks like it is Canada's icy answer to American bowling leagues but with the added bonus of being able to answer the ages-old spousal question of, Yeah, but what are we gonna do while you're playing?, with, here, take these brooms and you guys can sweep up while we drink..er play. No wonder it is so popular....it's bowling for those with no balls. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Boule game is another one but for summer.Is it popular in Canada too? ( I suppose in the french speaking regions maybe,,,,) It's Petanque in the summer, similar to Bocchi ball if you are Italian but they use wne instead of beer as the raison d'etre.

Aberlour10 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 The black labrador hosted by me seems to complain about a political incorrect big number of cats in the forum avatars.
