All I can think about is the hypothetical origins of this sport in which people's pot luck dishes, in convenient crock pots, vied for limited space on the ice table of some Canadian winter festival.
Objectively, obviously, this is not true. But it should be.
This is is not the best shot I've ever seen made in competition, but it is among them. And curling is every bit as much a Scottish sport as it is a Canadian one. But I'm not sure they take such pride in it the way we seem to.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Hey, I'm using Jeff and Brendan's 20 questions to help me get a feel for my upcoming Perdition campaign. Never done it before. Highly recommended. http://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/04/twenty-quick-questions-for-your.html http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/02/24/20-quick-questions-rules/

In my world, that's how it went down, Curt Thompson!
ReplyDeleteIt never ceases to amaze me how such an utterly stupid idea for a sport is so utterly compelling to watch.

Canada!

ReplyDeleteI remember this one from J Jones (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM5mFH3_Qhs); it looks not fancy, but it's a freaking hard shot.
