Last Saturday I went curling with my cousins and all of our significant others and friends. It started out as a joke because my cousin Jamie and I get crap for watching curling during the Olympics (it's quite mesmerizing). :) But we all ended up having a blast! None of us had been before, so we had two pros from the Detroit Curling Club instruct us and surprisingly, no one fell on their ass! I was also surprised that there were Scottish flags hanging above the ice surface. I knew the game was popular in Canada, but had no clue it was also Scottish! The pictures aren't very good, but here are a few. I'm in the second picture with the pink hoody "delivering the stone" :)
If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it! It's a lot of fun and WAY better than bowling! Just remember to bundle up cuz it's freezing in there! |

looks like this could be fun! skiing/snowboarding are the only winter sports we have around here.

I've never tried it, but I've watched it since this is the only winter olympic sport where Denmark has any chance of winning anything lol
EDIT: Whoo-hoo! My first swapped post! I wrote the one below by Abs :D

| Yay! A fellow curling fan! I don't know why, but I love watching it during the Olympics, as does my brother - everyone else thinks we're slightly bonkers. I've never actually tried it though. Not many curling facilities here. |

to increase viewership, i think curling should get cool, colorful gear like the stuff the speed skaters wear. we need something to watch other than a broom and a stone! oh, and curlers that are babes or hunks couldn't hurt either ;-)

I'm guessing Abs' post, since it's something to do with strikes and public transportation. Kinda sounds French lol.
A triple swap then, eh? This whole post-swapping thing is becoming more and more advanced, it seems. Too complicated for me, I'm going to bed now... Goodnight! |
