Would You Rather...

Watch hockey or curling?

I'm not sure what's happened, if earth has ripped us a new axis or what but lots of people are coming out of the wood work and proudly declaring their love of curling.

What?

Hockey I can understand. You can be loud, proud and well, loud. Curling just seems so subdued. Like golf but with more innuendo. If you listen to the game without watching you'll hear what I'm talking about. Try adding, 'that's what she said!' to the commentary. Trust me, it's way more enjoyable than actually paying attention to the game. It's almost as much fun as the Lost drinking game which requires taking a shot of something something when certain moments occur like when Flocke (fake Locke) says, "I can tell you what you want to know" or Jack looking up skyward in angst (Jack's depressed, CHEERS!)

But sit down and follow the commentary for curling. Voices are not raised, the commentator does not get breathless and make rushed pronouncements just subtle remarks that set up the line beautifully. But don't take my word for it, you have to play along. Today when you hear things like "he's digging in the corner!" or "oh, so close!" just add the line "that's what she said" and tell me you didn't giggle like a ten year old boy.

Then try it during a curling match. Same thing but longer, slower, with more dulcet tones...

(that's what she said heeeeeeeeheeeeeeheeeeee!)
