flewellynToday I saw, on television, for the first time, the sport of curling.
I was not aware, up until this point, that this was, in fact, a sport.
But, now that I have actually seen it...now that I have witnessed world-class curlers practicing their subtle, careful skill...now that I have truly beheld the height of curling acumen...
I REALLY don't see how it's a sport.
A guy slides a rock...and two other guys scrub the ice with brooms?
If that's a sport worthy of being in the Winter Olympics, then next they'll try to get ping-pong into the Summer games.
...wait, really? It is? Ah, crap.
