  10. Chess on ice. Been playin’ for almost 20 years. If you’re playing lead rock or second and you have to sweep every shot from Tee line to Tee line, you’ll sweep 6 rocks per end for 8 ends, each traveling about 125 ft. 48 rocks per game at 125 feet each is 6000 feet or just about a mile & an eighth. It’ll wear ya out.

  11. I figure it's about the only Olympic event that the use of 'roids or blood doping doesn't give you and edge. When the American team, based out of a Social Club (beer) and mostly middle-aged, won the Gold I knew it was strategy, wisdom and technique rather than speed, endurance, agility and equipment.

  12. Love playing the game. Love watching the game, but I have to turn off the sound when the women are playing because the screeching drives me up the wall.

  13. The original, and still best, librarian is Dorothy Malone in "The Big Sleep." She created the meme.

  14. I have a hard time seeing curling as an Olympic sport. I imagine it's origin comes from some drunken Norwegians skidding rocks on a frozen lake.

  15. If you ever have a World Curling event nearby, go. The game and the people will endear the sport to you. Former curler Milwaukee, Kettle Moraine and Broadmoor.
