4. My husband thinks I'm nuts
He comes home and I have it on. He keeps calling it a "stupid sport" (he's angry because cricket isn't an Olympic sport and this is), but I really am starting to enjoy it! I wouldn't mind trying it myself.

6. They seem like very nice young women, too
I've seen a couple of interviews - very well-raised.

7. If you think curling is fun, you should check out five pin bowling
In Detroit, we get to watch these unique Canadian sports all the time thanks to Channel 9 in Windsor. Before cable, it was a frequent selection on a cold Saturday afternoon.

9. I've always loved curling
Though not so much watching it.
More the going out with a group of friends a hurling huge rocks along the ice while totally smashed.
There are still some rinks that let you drink on them *sigh* Thank god
