Excellent game. Kept me on the edge watching it live.

In all my life, I've never once met anyone who participates in curling, met anyone who knows anyone else who participates in curling, or heard of any place where people participate in curling. Where do these people come from?

@Capt-- the same frosty fantastical fringes where outdoor ice hockey and sled dog racing are local obsessions. Places like Minnesota, Alaska, and Canuckia. . . er, Canada.

Curling rocks are all produced from a single deposit in Scotland.

Damn cute J girls! Watched the last two games. The J locals were equally mesmerized by the blue eyes, sizes and lithe bodies of the Swedes and Danes.

(We also play versions of it on the outdoor ice in Canada. That, and the Hokey-Pokey. (U.K: “Cokey”)

And specially designed to compensate for wayward shift after consuming half a bottle of whisky. Or so I've heard ... hic!

Some are indeed from Japan

In Karuizawa there is an indoor Curling Hall, I was there and it's fun, but it is VERY cold inside...

See above link, with some pictures.

My high school had curling club. Coed teams. Lots of fun.

Many curling rinks in my home country, even in some very small towns. Lot's of beer consumed after the game keeps the fun going.

As exciting a finish as I’ve seen in any sport.
