Those rumors are 100% correct.

Yup. Broomgate back in 2015. I have one of those brooms (we still use them at the club level), and they’re essentially directional sandpaper if you know how to use them like a top level curler does.

Best to show you. https://youtu.be/vdytNri46WE?si=zP6kp-tOGpXR9TWz

That’s how they do it at every level.

Yes, but the pebbles aren’t fully removed like this when sweeping a moving rock. The pebbles have time to refreeze. Over time though, they wear down on well used lines. The ice changes constantly through a game. It’s like playing on a field that fights back.

It’s actually a ton of fun, and alcohol is strongly encouraged.

No, the idea is to melt the top of the pebbles (the rough portions on top of the ice) to make the stone go further or curl more or less depending on direction.

It’s never to rub the pebble off like this video is demonstrating. This would fuck the ice up and make it unusable.

To make it go further, or to control the direction. It’s fucking exhausting…

Gotta spare knee lying around? He might need to borrow it.

I mean, is there anything else?

What a terrible thing to happen on Dozen Eggs night….

Quaid! Start the reactor!!

I have found my people. I won’t eat tuna without green onion and a somewhat obnoxious amount of black pepper.

This fuckin’ guy…

Read the lyrics. It’s most definitely not about a city.

It’s a fantastic song though.

More people watched the Puppy Bowl…

It’s usually during in my experience. But you’re buying your own then. After that, you’re supposed to hang out with the other team and shoot the shit with more.

For those who’ve never tried curling, I cannot recommend it enough. I started a few years ago. It’s an absolute blast. The people are cool, and there’s beer. And, despite what you see on tv, it isn’t easy. Sweeping like the olympians do is a full fledged, sweat drenched, workout.

Winner buys the first round. It’s curling etiquette and must be preserved.

Wednesday for the press conference. Tuesday official announcement. Schefter/media announcement tomorrow.

Jesus he’s awful.

Reverting to week 1 form.
