frank grunted as he tossed his rock down the alley. his sweepers stood by idly as the rock smashed through the field, inducing a chaotic cascade of outrage and broken medal-stand hopes. another successful throw. the opposing german team looked on in silence, cowed by the utter dominance of franks fling. frank didnt even look at the scoreboard as he strode over to the german team and one by one took each of their brooms from their nerveless fingers and snapped them in half. both the brooms and the fingers. sobs echoed through the arena as frank stomped back into his locker room. his crew followed, each spitting on the ice before sliding away in a moonwalk pose. in the studio, a single tear rolls down bob costas' frozen face, but none know whether joy or sorrow is its father. frank does not win the gold, but he has won on the only field that matters- the arena of curling respect.

Is there a medical reason women can't do snowboard tricks? Watching the women's slopestyle competition I swear all the men competitors would have gotten laughed at for the runs the women put on. Not to mention the extreme lack of backflips. I sear, they never even went tricky.

If this is too far, find a local club and call them. I am so trying this.

The Portland curling club, Evergreen Curling, has their own facility now. No need to fight crowds at Lloyd Center. Though it is in Beaverton, which is worse for me.

Though with our weather this weekend you could have set up ends on most city streets.

Also if you do curling you can learn life skills, like impressing your better half on how fast you can mop the whole house.

women are bad at sports.

upper body strength is huge in being able to do those tricks and women's ankles break much easier because their ankle is generally weaker and their legs angle inward more due to wider hips

In addition, women's knees are not built for impact as men's knees are. We brace for a fall and our joints strengthen. Hell if I know why and how, but the CBC was talking about during a break in the action.

Also, after Canada won against the Germans I instinctively starting singing O' Canada.

I don't know how or why I know the lyrics.
