    USA Wimmins Hockey and USA Curling

    Gold after beating Canada in wimmins hockey and we beat Canada to advance to the gold metal round against Sweden in curling.

    Sorry Johnboy, but congrats on the silver. That was one helluva match. In fact both matches we played we great games.

    As for curling, I don’t think we’ll beat the Swedes but we had a great match to get to the finals.

    Woo hoo! USA USA!

    Congrats and rats. Womens hockey was painful (I hate shootouts! Should have gone to OT.) but our curlers are just not on their game this time around. Our women were terrible and the guys just seem to be somewhere else. Good on youse guys, however.

    Curling is catching on here believe it or not. There is a place in Tulsa that has curling ng leagues. If they allow beer, I might look into playing. It looks like a hoot.

    Ha! You old retired dufus. Next thing ya' know, you'll be moving to Florida, buying a trailer in a seniors only park and taking up shuffleboard! Of course you can only play in "uniform" ... a Hawaiian shirt, plaid shorts, black knee-high stretch socks and sandals. I'm not so sure about the beer, but I'm sure they'll be serving Ensure to wash down the Geritol tablets.

    Go for it! Back in the day it used to be a game you could play while smoking a cig and drinking a beer. Don't think they let you do that any more.

    Not sure if you are aware Posthole but pretty sure curling and beer are synonymous. No need to worry about being able to wet you whistle.

    FYI - the lady who scored the winning goal in the hockey match is from good ol' North Dakota, Grand Forks to be exact!

    Men in the gold metal round. You know it's a sign of the apocalypse when the United States is winning gold in curling

    I got 5 bucks that says curling was invented by drunk and bored Canuck ice fisherman after a long day of not catching a damn thing out on the lake.

    Close. A bunch of drunken Scots who brought it over to Canada where it was taken up by bored ice fishermen.
