Jesus Christ. I'm watching "Curling After Dark".
Because I'm trying to figure out what the attraction is. :shrug:

2. My friend emailed me and confessed that he was watching curling at the moment.
.
I asked him if it had a least inspired him to do a little housecleaning or sumpin'.
.
.
He told me that it was an exhausting experience and had only inspired him to smoke another joint.
.
.
OMG!!! The Swedish Women's Curling Team!!!!!!!!!!!
.
.
.
It's a good thing that there's relatively FEW Swedish women in the world, so that other women
have a chance.
.
.
.
.
I stole that line from Hemingway, who said it about bullfighters and other men -- maybe the funniest
Hemingway line I've ever heard.
.
Come to think of it... it may be the ONLY funny Hemingway line I've ever heard.

3. I sometimes wake up around 2AM- I watch "Look Good Naked",
"Your Baby Can Read", and sometimes "Is Colon Detox Hype?"

Why am I paying for satelite TV when there is NOTHING on it nights and weekends?

("Curling After Dark" actually sounds like something I have already seen!)

That's the one with the creepy looking motherfucker with the John Waters Mustache, right?

4. I watched the US - Great Britain women's Curling -- it was very exciting!
I never thought I would put "exciting" and "Curling" in the same sentence, but there you have it!

7. I think this is the attraction
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/349951-rock-the-house-the-hotties-of-olympic-curling#page/1

"Rock the House: The Hotties of Olympic Curling."

Carmen Schäfer's only number six, so you know there are some SERIOUSLY hot women on this list. (My favorite is number four--Lludmila Privivkova of Russia.)

Here's the attraction: It's a sport anyone here thinks they can do. It's kinda like bowling or auto racing. There's no fucking way 99.9999999 percent of us would ever get in a bobsled, but curling? That's like bowling on ice. Anyone can do it--very few can do it well enough to get in the Olympics, but anyone can learn to curl well enough to at least have fun doing it. There's a bit of strategy to it. And there are some very pretty women competing.

8. I was watching a US match last week
I think it was against France. The mental side of this sport is fascinating.
