I found myself in an unthinkable position last Friday.  I was playing poker in Atlantic City, and there was curling shown on some of the TVs in the poker room.  When someone made a typical disparaging comment about curling, I defended it, and even explained a thing or two, trying to do my best to channel my inner Beeb.  :x

If you actually start curling, find out if Anchorage throws a good bonspiel.  I'll try and get my team to go to it.

I've ordered my inner Beeb executed for iPod lust.

That's pretty much my take on it.  I need something to keep active in winter (but hate gyms, and suck at hockey).

There's probably more RCMP offices as well. And Tim Hortons.

The spread of curling within the languish sphere must be fought and crushed.Crushed i say!

You're doomed. Next time you go to a Languish meet, it will be held at a curling club.

I like hockey but it too expensive.
