But I actually like it a bit!

A game originating in Scotland in which two four-person teams slide heavy oblate stones toward the center of a circle at either end of a length of ice

It's really fun to play. In almost every small town in most of Canada there is a member sponsored curling club. They generally cost about $100 to $300 per year to belong to. The majority of them have a bar inside of them for pre / post game drinking - it is a Canadian sport don't forget ;)

It's good when you like to mop the floor. It looks a bit like bowling (did that once and found it boring) so I think it would be very boring to play.

I've been watching these olympics a little bit and after about a week I finally asked the main question.:

Just how many fucking ways is there to race down a fucking hill?

It's kinda like "Hurricane Alley" (table) shuffleboard. It actually takes A LOT of skill to master; something that alot of people don't understand.

The curling sport looks like it requires a lot of concentration and skill.

Strange, but there is skills involved

Th first time I saw that sport, it really appeared weird to me. However, I later realized that the sport also involves skills and enough concentration on the part of the players.
