You know you're an addict when...

Saturday morning, leorathesane found me standing in the middle of the living room, looking rather forlorn. When she asked me what was wrong, I blurted, "There's no more curling!"

Also, I didn't even have to cheat to get this result:

You Are Curling

Sometimes even people who should know what curling is - just don't.

I believe it involves pushing large ceramic things (that have handles on top) around the ice with brooms. I'm confident it evolved from sweeping polished hardwood floors.

Y'know, I'm still not sure what exactly curling is.

Which I suppose is understandable, since we, uhm, don't have ice. But still.

No ice. Check. But lawns, right? You have lawns? You have bocci ball? I've never boccied, myself, but leorathesane says curling is essentially bocci on ice. With gigantic hunks of granite. And brooms.

I am kind of proud about the fact that I didn't see ANY of the Olympics. I watched obscure 60's and 70's movies instead.

But...but...but if you didn't watch the Olympics, you saw no curling! NO CURLING!!!

I was too busy waiting by my phone.

For a RETURN call from you!

guilt, it's not just for Catholics anymore

Yay for curling!

Boo for no current curling on TV!

Perhaps I will just have to move to Canada. 94% of the world's curlers live there.

dude, we live in the same state as the "capital of curling." That smells like road trip to me.

I knew there was a reason I loved you.

Do you guys curl?
My likely future brother-in-law curls, & he's got my sister going, too. He likes to talk to me about it, as though it's something we have in common, just because MN has ice.

Do you guys curl?

We do not...yet. This may come as news to leorathesane, but I would love to learn. The Twin Cities Curling Association hosts "curling clinics" every now and then. They have 2 scheduled for March that are already completely full. I joined their email announcement list so I'll know if/when others come up. For now, though, I am but an avid watcher.
