Everyone should be disqualified from this event because it's obvious that anyone who plays it is on some form of illegal medication...

Why not Olympic Hide And Seek instead?? :boring:

1. No, poker is the stupidest "sport" I've ever seen.

Hell, at least with curling, there's some actual movement going on. Instead of sitting on your ass and move chips around a table, holding cards while the likes of Gabe Kaplan comment on the "action"

I sort of like curling, actually.

9. You know you just don't understand it, so you rip on it.
Edited on Wed Feb-22-06 09:16 PM by YellowRubberDuckie
Do you have the brain capacity to understand it? :evilgrin: I'm just playing. That's what I told a guy at work today. Told him he didn't have the intellectual capacity to understand curling so he dissed it. It was quite funny. By the end we were laughing so hard we were crying.

10. @$#%! I really hate that "you just don't understand X" argument.
Obviously, you've noticed the same tendency in people, hence your joke. ;)

13. Hey, any sport that's played with a broom is all right with me!
Maybe I can get some curlers to come to my house to clean up after the kids, cats, and bunny ... crumbs, fur, dirt ... we've got it in boatloads. I sweep every day, and the next day another layer has settled all over the house. x(

14. No, basketball and car racing are the stupidest goddamn sports ever.
I will never understand the allure of basketball - what a fucking dumb sport - nor of car racing, a boring "sport" that isn't even much of a sport, either; though I admire the skill level and dedication of the drivers.
