my brother + the olympics
we all know that every 4 years we get to be subjected to a bunch of sports that we dont' care about and some really poorly played hockey. many of you also realize that my brother is....well....odd(to say the least)
my brother has found a new "sport" to keep him glued to the screen for hours on end. it is called curling(sp?)
for those of you who have not been subjected to....i mean...discovered the joys of this amazing "sport", i will explain.
basically grab about 5 kids from the short bus, give them a bunch of rocks, some brooms(i am not kidding), and some ice to play on. now make a game that resembles shuffle board.
there is a bullseye drawn on one end of the ice and they have to slide the rocks into it. whoever is closer to the center gets the points. it is hard to imagine that anyone can stand the excitement, but just try to comprehend the possibility.
basically what i am looking at is a cheap rip off of shuffleboard that was invented in some country that sucks so bad that they couldn't afford a ball or puck to play with.
god i can't wait until this **** is over and everyone starts talking about racing season like good americans should.
