1. Nothing sexy about it!
Or at least at the rink I go to. Old men in their 80s.....remember men with brooms? Yeah in real life Molly Parker hates curling I bet!


Seriously though, it is a romantic sport. ANd I imagine it could be sexy, I'll check out the womens' games this Saturday. ;-)

8. You, my friend, have obviously never seen...
Olympic curling champ Marilyn Darte bent over a rock.

And, she's a Funeral Director when she's not being a curling star! Six degrees or something, since Molly Parker played a mortician in "Kissed".

3. Yep. Curling is cool.
Those of you of the het-male/lesbian persuasion probably would like to check out the Tournament of Hearts when it's on.

Curling is not the only esoteric, difficult sport I like. I also think Grand Prix showjumping is cool, too. :)

9. When I visited relatives in Hawaii,
my uncle pointed out a home that belonged to a Canadian curling champion.

I wondered how anyone could practice curling in Hawaii, when it suddenly dawned on me - curling is a sport that doesn't require any practice at all!
