i can't figure out why they need mens and womens curling, though. they should just have one, and call it curling. this is like a bar sport awarding medals.

yeah, it's pretty sweet. they might as well put bocce in the summer olympics if this is a sport.

they should totally do that. i need a backyard to set up a bocce pit.

there's a bar in cobble hill that has a clay indoor court. i'm in a league.

i don;t think that i need a court, i can probably get by with the street and canned vegetables.

well right, but if it's there...

plus they have the "crap-o-copia," which is a bucket of 6 shitty beers (pbr, high life, shlitz, piels, stroh's, genesee, et al.) for $12, which is not only a bargain, but an adventure.

bocce ball should be in the summer games if curling is an olympic sport.

bring on the fucking lawn darts

jarts even

good to see you thinking for yourself, paper. papes.

what about horseshoes? idn't that a sport, sport?

i played a show at a curling club in New Brunswick once.

it's pretty enthralling to watch on television.

it's basically shufflepuck on ice.

Close.

There's some bocce courts right off the Mass Pike near where I live and a bunch of us went out one night and played by candlelight. Then we got drunk and ran around in some big concrete tubes.

Where's the love for croquet I ask you? So civilized yet wild and enthralling even to the casual player.

you wouldn't think that a woman's curling team would have much to look at, but i've been surprised through these olympics.

just look at the passion

My apartment complex has a bocce ball court. I should actually use it before I move out later this year.

Also, I have no idea what is going on in curling.

it's a lot like bocce, from what i understand. the team that is closest to the center (effectively bocce's pallino, except it's always in the same place) is the team that gets points, and they get a point for every stone that is closer to the center than the closest stone of the other team.

Ok that makes sense. Also, I guess I could have just gone to Wikipedia to look it up. Thanks though.

Here's the Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curling

I agree that it should be a non-gender specific sport.
Co-ed is the way to go. Think of the parties that would happen back in the Olympic Village if it were co-ed.
