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 Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Life is short and unfair. I don’t even know what to say. Hours after the last picture I posted of Alice and the kids we came home from the movie to find her nearly dead in her kennel. She stayed at the vet for 36 hours, and after making some improvement on the first day, started to fade last night. I was with her when they put her to sleep this morning. We buried her collar and her stuffed elephant under our deck where she liked to crawl just out of reach. Alice had four owners in her short life. She survived being hit by a car and moving from Alabama to Minnesota. Then being moved around in foster care before she got to us. I hope she knew she was with for the long haul. She was a good pup. This is the last picture I took of her. We were visiting her yesterday at the vet, anticipating bringing her home today.
Pre-gen from Frank Mentzer's module, The Needle , 1987. I knew this was insulting and gross when I was 14. At the time I didn't know who Frank was, since I only played AD&D. I found this module again when I was going through a box of old stuff and was surprised he wrote it, because I thought it was a pretty shitty adventure.

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.
