What is this, a football game? :blink:
nah.  Just good ol' hockey :)

Women's hockey however is akin to football :)
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Beeb, we discussed at work yesterday: what kind of shoes do you guys use for curling? We ruled out spiked golf shoes and bowling shoes.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Curling shoes. :smarty:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Yes, they are curling shoes.

One shoe has a piece of teflon on it.  That's your slider.  The other shoe just has a rubber sole with a lot of little pockmarks.  It's called your gripper, as it doesn't really slide at all.

Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

It's pretty low for being Norway FYI, AFAIK the Norwegians are pretty upset about the bad Olympics they've had.

Watched a little women's short track.  Didn't see any hand fighting, all the bumps and cutoffs led to DQs.  Really don't get the tactics; why don't they just sprint all out?

I was referring to the distribution, not the total.
