Hey...we're on TV.

...so says one of the American Curlers during her match in Torino. I find that awesomely awesome. Don't hate on her...she's from Bemidji, MN, and that's how they roll.

ANYWAY, if any of you have been watching the sport of curling during the Olympic telecasts, you will notice that it's oddly addicting, and it's a nice blend of semi-physical strength and cerebral functioning.

Simply stated, it rocks.

So I'm all "I want to do that," and my dad is all "I saw a poster about a Rushmore Curling Association," and I was all "SHUT UP!"

Long story short....they curl down at the Roosevelt Park Ice Arena every Wednesday from 7:30pm to 9:30pm and Saturdays from 8:00am to 10:00am. I'm going there tonight. You all should come try it out. Bring rubber-soled shoes and $5.

Think of it...we can be Olympians next time around, and in Vancouver, in 2010, it could be me saying to Spin, "Hey...we're on TV." I have a feeling Spin would say, "Yeah we are," and then we would pose like pirates.

Sidenote: I feel a new 80's compilation CD coming on for you....I'm just sayin!

I'd like the theme to be "Songs We Can Curl To"

You're the first person I ever met that wanted to be a curler, Skogg. Go for it! (and then explain what the hell theyre doing to me someday, will ya?)

Curling rocks! We saw a bonspiel up in ND once. It was riveting...really it was. Those curlers know how to have a very good time both on and off the ice.

Chop and Spin - you need to come with my brother and I next Wednesday to do some curling.

If you like it, and we like you, you will join our team that will compete in the Bon Spiel in May.

Curling is so much fun. I had an absolute blast.

I think people should have a right to choose whether they want to like curling or not.

Thus, I'm pro choice about curling.

I'm not anti- curling or pro-curling.

But I did watch some Canadian women curling on TV this morning. Seems like they were getting beat by Norweigans.
