another installment in the "watching paint dry" chronicles
What do these phrases mean?
The guard may be high enough that the outturn might be available through the port.
Jennifer Jones is trying to make the yellow yellow.
The top yellow is dead buried.
No clue? You're not Canadian enough. These are all things we heard the sports commentators saying while we were watching women's curling last night.
For the record, we're not Canadian enough either, but we sorta kinda understood what they were saying, if not precisely what the lingo meant.
I will say this: we both enjoyed watching. hobbitt had the laptop open and was wiki-ing all about curling while the match was on, so we learned something, too. Not much, but enough to enhance our enjoyment of this finicky, precise sport. That gal in the photo is Kelly Scott. Her team lost to Jones last night. Evidently it's an old rivalry. Who knew? That's Jones below.
Curling. Yes. You heard it here first. Another exciting adventure from druid labs.

They just started up a curling club here in Casper. You can take curling lessons for $40 a session. I'm tempted.
Aren't there supposed to be brooms or something?
Gawd. You're as bad as we are. Honestly, S and I watched a LOT of curling during the last Olympics. I think we screamed Hurry Hard! a gajillion times, just because we could. ;)
yeah, what do they call the one with the broom?
I have always wanted to learn about curling. I am guessing I have the latent skills in this area.
I maybe getting too old though.
Last year, betterdaze made my day better with a curling quote, "That's when you tell your front end to keep it up, keep it strong, and eventually, it'll curl in there."
those chicks rock!
heh.
I'll just shutup, now.
I sense that our friendship may be threatened here because God help me, I loathe the Canadians. There. I said it. I feel a sense of relief now but I guess that makes me a bad person, ay?
I would have thought all you modern women would have hated curling? I mean, it's clearly derived from sweeping up the back yard in winter :) What's next? Washing line archery?
The Scottish are good at this btw, they have a track record and prrrrrrronounced authority.
It's an oddly addictive watch, particularly when the Polish team plays, Mike I can relate :D
You guys must have heard about the calenders? The curling ladies decided to pose naked or semi-naked to raise money, no not in my mind Cathy....for REAL! :D
