I have been watching the winter Olympics on television and have finally found the thing that I can get behind being rowdy about. Curling, it just seems to be calling out for rowdies. ---

Can you reduce a Nordic woman to tears? Because if you can, there might just be a place for you. > **[Sports News, Scores, Fantasy Games - Yahoo Sports](https://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/tokyo-2021/)** > > Sports News, Scores, Fantasy Games ---

Curling women are pretty and in good shape. Who could have guessed that? ---

The crowd is suppose to quiet down for shots but in a packed arena with 5600 people it’s simply not going to happen. That and I’d bet a lot of spectators (Canadian included) don’t actually know you’re suppose to quiet down. ---

My family was just talking the other night about how we want to become Curling hooligans. Instead of getting drunk on cheap beer and starting riots we will sip wine and talk loudly, but otherwise it will be almost the same thing.
