[QUOTE=scotandrsn] It’s also referred to as a pencil holder. [/QUOTE] I always preferred the term “visible trouser cleavage.” 🙂 ---

I get a kick out of “bike rack” but I prefer “gluteal cleft”. ---

[QUOTE=elmwood] [Herries-Maxwell Trophy competition](http://www.royalcaledoniancurlingclub.org/dyncat.cfm?catid=21408) _The Herries Maxwell trophy is played between Scotland and the USA. Touring parties travel to play for the trophy on a 10-year cycle. The last tour was in 2001 when the USA toured Scotland (brought forward from 2002 due to the Olympics), when the USA were victorious._ **kitten** : why didn’t I mention curling before? Well, it was summertime! There’s an open house at my curling club in March, though; Cleveland/Akron-area Dopers can PM me if they’re interested. [/QUOTE] I see two games were at Portage. We won one, they won one. ---

[QUOTE=Harmonious Discord] I see two games were at Portage. We won one, they won one. [/QUOTE] In curling, games are called _draws_. As in “draw those strings tighter on your curling pants, because I can see your asscrack while you’re bent down in the hack.” ---

[QUOTE=Freddy the Pig] Yeah, uh-huh. You try doing that when there’s an ass-crack staring you in the face :eek: [/QUOTE] Any time I see ass crack this obnoxious, I immediately flash back to Pink Floyd’s [The Wall](http://imdb.com/title/tt0084503/). The judge at the end was a real asshole, but he had some of the best lines. (If you have’t seen the movie, this probably won’t make any sense. Or it might. Oh well.) When I worked in a job where everyone worked close to the ground, I had a co-worker who called them “coin slots”. I suggested that she drop a coin in the next one she sees, but for some reason she never did. ---

I’m with you on the ass displays, eww. I’ve just stopped by to say that as a Canadian, who has, more than once, enjoyed an afternoon of curling, you must acknowledge, in good conscience, that after a certain point in the proceedings, it’s just drunks shouting at rocks. 😃 ---

> [@Originally posted by elbows](#): > > \ you must acknowledge, in good conscience, that after a certain point in the proceedings, it’s just drunks shouting at rocks. I think that’s the official motto of Canadian curling, isn’t it? 😃 You’d think there would be more injuries than there are, a bunch of drunks staggering around on ice on slippy shoes… ---

I was in an introductory league for three weeks last spring and got a concussion. And I was sober. ---

Well, see, maybe that’s what you’re doing wrong. 🙂 My husband tells me about playing against a World Champion curler here in Calgary - they’re able to take him on early in the game when he’s still soused from sitting in the clubhouse drinking, but they try to take a lead early on because as he sobers up, he gets a lot harder to beat. ---

[QUOTE=kaylasdad99] Web, Images, or Video? [/QUOTE] Web. It will give you a link to a muchosucko page with a video that is NSFW. The first minute of the video is cheese, but the actual curling is hilarious. My paddling crew participates in an annual female curling tournament each year. They will not tell me what goes on there – “What happens at the tourney stays at the tourney.” Now that I have seen the “naked japanese curling” video, I’m going to have to find out exactly what goes on at their tourney.
