A phrase I never expected to hear - ka jowct - 02-18-2006 I swear I just heard this: "a crucial curling showdown". I have to addmire the announcer for not cracking up on the air. Re: A phrase I never expected to hear - blooz - 02-18-2006 Every time I hear the word "curling" I think of hair. PS - blooz - 02-18-2006 I have had girlfriends who regarded their "curling" as "cruciaL" (this was back in the sixties) but that's as far as it went. Re: A phrase I never expected to hear - rgG - 02-18-2006 I was wondering the other night, who was the first person to think up curling and why. Did it just suddenly seem like a good idea to throw some big old heavy round tub down on a patch of ice and then frantically start sweeping in front of it? Who would think up such a thing? And why did they do it the second time? I just don't get it.

You think there are bowling alleys at the North Pole?!? GET REAL! Re: A phrase I never expected to hear - blooz - 02-18-2006 Good point, rgG. There's a lot of stuff like that in this world. Re: A phrase I never expected to hear - rgG - 02-18-2006 Here is my favorite quote from the history of curling: "Curling is a highly tactical sport." Right..... Re: A phrase I never expected to hear - ka jowct - 02-18-2006 Who would think up such a thing? And why did they do it the second time? I just don't get it. Winters are long and dark in northern Europe. Curling fits right in with some of the other traditional coping strategies (despair and drinking). Re: A phrase I never expected to hear - Jimmypoo - 02-18-2006 It's snow shuffle board. |
