Clearly, you’ve never curled in the nude.

Well, you know what they say about the relationship between a man and his rocks…and that’s one long, slow shot they have there…

It’s because they’re not round. If they were round, they’d be called short and straights, thus the need for curling.

A true asshole wouldn’t have to explain himself.

Asshole - 1 usually vulgar : ANUS  
2 a usually vulgar : a stupid, incompetent, or detestable person

Just thought I’d share that

Myself neither, apparently. :rolleyes:

I like the part of curling where you drink beer, though.

Thanks, dopers. I can hear someone in the next room watching curling. Well, I can hear the curling, not the watching. I’m finding it much more entertaining since, thanks to this thread, I’m convince that they’re all naked and drunk.

Is this the origin of the ever-popular phrase “get your rocks off”?

Naked and drunk is really one of the best ways to watch curling.

I agree. It’s even better if you eliminate the curling.

**Feynn** , a couple of years ago I was at the Scott Tournament of Hearts. Apparently they’re okay with the drunk, but they have problems with the naked.

Curling makes you people have orgasms? Not only did I not understand the sport, it almost put me to sleep from lack of excitement.

Now the luge is another story. All that slipping and sliding through tight narrow places. . . . hubba hubba
