But, on teh Twitter, lots of folks I follow have been jabbering on and on about curling. Which is sort of like horseshoes, only with brooms. And no horseshoes. Or stakes.
It's like a bunch of drunk horseshoe players got stranded in Canada one winter, and had to either invent a game or go all Brokeback Mountain. I'm still not sure they made the right decision.
Anyway, today I did something I hadn't done in a long, long time. I watched curling. But, I watched it here:

And, from what I've been reading, the USA men's and women's teams learned how to play by watching that scene from Help!
The women are 0-3, and the men are 0-4.But, there's good news. My TiVo
still has 129 hours of programming recorded that I can watch.
I had forgotten about that scene; should have included it on my own curling roundup from the other day. Good catch.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed Help! since I first saw it ... oh, I don't know how many years ago. But, I had no idea what they were doing. I just figured it was a gag that the Beatles came up with. When I found out that was a real sport, I was surprised.
