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.
Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
Mike Ness auto-awesomed What a weird show. Huge mosh pit full of dude-bros and middle aged dudes (and some badass chick with hemp purse that she never lost) stomping around like the freakin' Bushwackers from the WWF. Met a middle-aged english couple who used to be in the music distributor business who had been at a bunch of the same shows as we had over the last few years.

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.
ReplyDeleteIf there was a Curling Network on cable it would just be on as background all the time.
Canada!
ReplyDeleteEXTREME ICE SWEEPING!
ReplyDeleteCurling is my favorite psychic event of the Winter Olympics.

ReplyDeleteThis one is pretty great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UDlMPNcq2U
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.
ReplyDeleteBroom pump.
