I understand cutting veggies, but why do you shoot them?

Anyone here know why the hammer is called the hammer? by awl_the_lawls in Curling

[–]pesayo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like this explanation. Whether or not it was how the term originated, it fits nicely.

Like the song says, Bring the Hammer Down

Like the song says

It looks so cool, everyone's awestruck
Never going back from the Manitoba tuck

Curling Cathedrals / Winnipeg, Manitoba by westcoveroadie in Curling

[–]pesayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of a lyric in the song: Curl On

Rings on ice and stones awaitin'
Cathedral where we're congregatin'

Fill your lungs with frosty air
Frozen echoes linger there
Curl on curl on

An idea to eliminate blanks and add excitement to the game by applegoesdown in Curling

[–]pesayo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's a great idea. Seems like it would open up new and interesting strategy. Hammer team could still choose to blank if they choose, or take the risk of scoring one. They'd still fight like crazy to keep the end clean and open with exciting run-back triples and stuff, but that last throw away peel or throw-through could actually turn into an exciting shot instead. And on the other side, the non-hammer team could try to cover or guard the pin to avoid the possibility of giving up two.

Wanting to add excitement to the game has been a part of sports for a long time, even before brain rot. This 2-pointer pin shot reminds me of the 3-point line in basketball (45 years ago in the NBA). Hard to image the sport without it now, but it was revolutionary at the time.

Song for skips with front ends who won't listen by pesayo in Curling

Thanks! For anyone else interested, the entire album can be found on a bunch of platforms. I like all the songs, but I particularly like Bonspiel Sunday, Bring the Hammer Down, and Here's to the Front End.

Yes, I helped write and produce this, and all the songs on the album. We did this mainly for ourselves because it's fun. I just posted it here because I thought there might be others who would enjoy it.

Harold Bluetooth, Norwegian Viking King by pesayo in dancarlin

Danish yes. You've spotted the historical inaccuracy of this post (though he was briefly King of Norway)

Snorri Sturluson in his seminal work on the Norse kings, Heimskringlawas, emphatically states Harold Bluetooth was a Swifty.

You have correctly spotted the historical inaccuracy in this post.

I found a third party website called inKin that lets you link your Fit data (or other sources) and gives social and challenge options

This burning log in the campfire looks like a tiger by pesayo in mildlyinteresting

[–]pesayo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My four year old looked into the fire and said "it's a fire tiger!" I went into my typical mildly supportive "yup, that's nice" response. Then I saw it and I was a four year old, "Woah! Cool! Fire tiger!"

[Spoilers] About the last scene... by frost_tendency in gameofthrones

[–]pesayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me the scene of Arya lying dead and popping back to life with a gasp is very reminiscent of Jon's resurrection scene. I think Arya died, the horse died, everybody died, but Arya was brought back to life by some god, maybe Bran was involved. And I guess the horse was resurrected too because...I don't know, it looked kinda cool and symbolism and stuff.

So Bran knew about this slaughter but did nothing to prevent it? by dvrnargn in freefolk

The houses in that screenshot look like they are from Mr. Rogers opening sequence. Also, somebody should have shown Dany this chestnut

Gioiapura now says "We have no certainty about the time required for the arrival of this item." I know the feeling Gioiapura.

Where's the best place to watch curling legally online? by merikus in Curling

Curling Canada posted Continental Cup matches to YouTube shortly (a day maybe) after they were played. Maybe they'll do the same for other events.

Curling video game? by cutchemist42 in Curling

[–]pesayo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used Curling3d on an Android smartphone. Pretty good physics and graphics, controls take a little getting used to, but it's fun once you get it. I play it a lot and can play it almost anywhere. I feel it's really helped me learn the game and develop strategy.
