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?

Well anyway, you needed a break from Mr. Sethlin anyway. Thanks for stopping by and don't be a stranger. I'll be here.

Day 234...Shari has left me. Alone again. Nothing but ice brooms and stones on this desolate planet. Curling...my own personal hell.

curling: maybe the socceroos should give it a shot, 'cause world cup football sure ain't our forte...

**Swinging Johnson** · 06-14-10, 05:33 AM

Day 235...visited only by a man in a dress named Aunty Jack.

**aunty jack** · 06-14-10, 05:46 PM

sadly swingin-j... you are tom hanks in castaway, and i am wilson the volleyball.

that is your lonely destiny.

curling: less fun than dental work with a skate blade.

**Swinging Johnson** · 06-15-10, 04:21 PM

Aunty Jack: Unshaven legs have never looked sexier.

**Swinging Johnson** · 06-16-10, 06:07 AM

Alone again...Ice...stones...brooms...and ridiculously gifted athletes using them.

**Swinging Johnson** · 06-17-10, 08:15 AM

Johan Foofegnargen...the Brad Pitt of the curling world.

**Swinging Johnson** · 06-18-10, 07:16 AM

Curling: Mayhem on the ice.

**Swinging Johnson** · 06-19-10, 07:31 AM

cURLING: bECAUSE ANY OTHER SPORT IS UNCIVILIZED (SERIAL kIlLER fOnT)

**Swinging Johnson** · 06-20-10, 07:33 AM

Clueless Norway started this thread and then abandons it. Just like the sports world has abandoned coverage on the 2010 Floofignagen Games in Sisimiut Greenland. Bastards.

**Swinging Johnson** · 06-21-10, 07:11 AM

Curling: What the hell can I say that hasn't been said.

**phillybadboy** · 06-21-10, 08:45 PM

I'm little confused here. Isn't Quidditch considered as a sport? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quidditch
It surely has to be more popular than curling.
Great thread!

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?!

**Swinging Johnson** · 06-24-10, 07:00 AM

Alone again, naturally. (thanks to Gilbert O'Sullivan for allowing me to use that phrase)

**Swinging Johnson** · 06-25-10, 12:43 AM

Too late to talk curling..or is it?

**Swinging Johnson** · 06-26-10, 05:12 AM

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!

**Swinging Johnson** · 06-28-10, 06:56 AM

Curlers: Athletes in colorful sweaters.

Curling: Who gives a damn.

**Swinging Johnson** · 07-02-10, 09:51 AM

Curlers: Best damn athletes on the planet.

**Swinging Johnson** · 07-03-10, 09:26 AM

I'm souring on curling. Too much fighting.

**Swinging Johnson** · 07-03-10, 11:22 PM

Curling: No protective gear?!!!

Curling - stones and ice, what a combination.
