We lost. The men’s team lost to Germany and Norway, and the women’s team to Japan. A bleak, bleak beginning to this Olympics. For fans of curling, i.e., true patriots, it is hard to be in good spirits right now. Still, the women take on Germany and the men take on Switzerland today, and it’s time to show them all who truly is the greatest country in the world.
To get you pumped, here’s a music video made to Johnathan Coulton’s song about American curling:
Frank, would you be interested in creating Frank TV? Frank TV could show re-runs of MST3K. And during the Olympics, you wouldn’t repeat NBC’s idiocy. You would show curling and hockey in primtime, not ice dancing.
So I guess America will have to be absorbed back into Great Britain since we have lost at the most awesomest sport ever. It’ll be hard to switch to God Save the Queen instead of The Star Spangled Banner and throw away all my bald eagle paintings. But, at least now we all have free health-care and we’ll get to see a lot more Monty Python skits.
It’s not the sport of curling that’s so offensive, it’s the curling fans that turn over cars and break windows after the curling matches…they ruin it for everyone.
My buddies and I watched the babes slide the rock! It was an opportunity for great sexist comment and suggestions on each athletes true “potential”! Best sport ever!
The curling hooligan in me is upset that America lost. Let’s go turn over some cars and stuff!!!
Whoa, wait a minute there, buster. Didn’t we teach Germany and Japan a lesson a few years back? Time for a week long weinerschnitzel and sushi boycott.
“Curling Update.” The title alone made me laugh.
Remember when Olympic medals didn’t look like cheesy recycled CD’s?
Thanks, Frank. I just learned the rules for curling and interesting trivia (the turn of the 20th century was the golden age of curling stone factories), and now I have to wait another four years for the next televised match. By that time I will have forgotten the rules and intricacies of curling.
