...the new american sport

well, the olympics are almost over. and with it another spontaneously popular sport will drop into obscurity... at least for another few years. of course, i'm talking about women's curling...(duh, what ELSE would i be referring to?!)so the fire station... and by that i mean all the guys in it... have fallen in love with the US women's curling team. in 4 days, they went from knowing nothing about the sport (what is that? shuffleboard?) to resident experts. they know rules, terms, even what a good shot (i'm sorry, not a shot... a "curl") is. they know the players by name. and you ask why...?...come on now, dig deep, you know the answer. why did they get hooked on the L word right away? cuz the chics were hot. and so was the US women's curling team. hot, blonde, and flexible. and you've got the johnson twins... or sisters... whatever. Jessie and Cassie. reason enough for us all to sit down every night for a couple of hours and watch curling. ok, so it bears to mention that when it's prime watching hours over here... it's like 0400 in the morning over there. so what we're really watching is the crap ya'll don't want to be bothered with. except for the 14 diehard fans who get up at 4 am to watch. not that i know anyone like that... :)
