Ahhhhhhh Shari! What the hell are you doing here? It's like being visited from someone you barely knew in high school while you're in solitary confinement. So nice to have you here, take a seat, make yourself comfortable. It's so very rare I have guests in my own little corner of internet hell. For one lousy extra stinkin point I toil away in here talking about a sport that nobody, not even their fans, talk about. I love the top 10 list. Have you seen all of my comments? Please go back through the thread, read, eat, enjoy...more wine?Originally posted by shari91Letterman's Top Ten Surprising Facts About Curling:

I'm little confused here. Isn't Quidditch considered as a sport? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuidditchOriginally posted by shari91
It surely has to be more popular than curling.
Great thread!Comment -
Ahhhhhh, W3..welcome welcome. Please sit for a moment. Don't leave, you know we very rarely get visitors. Who am I kidding, we, it's really just me but I am pleased to have your company. I toil, languish even, in utter abandon here in a sub-forum reserved for zombies and trolls. All just trying to shine the white hot spotlight on a sport that is virtually unknown on this side of the pond. Well, I am putting an end to this annonymity. Curling is to sports what kazoos are to warfare. hmmmm, that didn't come out quite right...or did it?!Originally posted by w3coyoteComment -
Alone again, naturally. (thanks to Gilbert O'Sullivan for allowing me to use that phrase)Comment -
Too late to talk curling..or is it?Comment -
I say we all get together and manufacture a line of protective equipment exclusively for curlers. It's like the NHL before goalies wore masks. These athletes are crazy!Comment -
