    Smash Curling is the sport of champions

    Guys, curling is great.

    • Interesting to follow
    • Fun to watch
    • Cute Scandinavian guys
    • Players yelling out bizarre words with bizarre meanings at the top of your lungs
    • Norwegian curling team's pants


    What's not to love? Curling is the sport of kings. Canada has got this one right. Now if only we could watch it down here in the States more often than once every four years for the Winter Olympics.

    Curling is the greatest sport and noblest contest in known space, and I can think of little that would surpass it except, perhaps, the actual implementation of Blitzball.

    I don't have an opinion on ice bowling, but I like it when the score reaches penguin to 17.

    (has no idea how Curling works)

    Actually, a friend of mine confessed to liking it recently. Next winter Olympics I think I'll check it out with him.

    I'm surprise you both didn't say you love it, because it's almost purely mathematical and based in physics.

    I can understand that people enjoy playing curling, because pretty much any sport/game that requires any sort of skill can be fun to play. But watching curling for any length of time is just boring, though seeing people frantically brushing at the ice while there's screaming all around is interesting in a bewildering sort of way. I fully admit that, having not played curling before, I am not in a good position to appreciate everything involved.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    Curling is great. I mean it's simply hardcore sweeping but it's awesome

    I watched some curling on my 21st in the last bar we hit. Cannot remember having a better laugh.
