Ya know, I think I'm the only American who likes curling. I mean, it's only sport you can play while holding a beer in one hand.
 
2005-11-01 01:07:31 AM
I'm sorry, I've looked, but I'm still going to need to see more than that to tell if she's actually curling.
 
2005-11-01 01:19:56 AM
I thought curlers were old people that didn't have anything else to do with their time so they ran around the ice. I stand thoroughly and pleasantly corrected.
 
2005-11-01 01:38:53 AM
I'd takeout her rock with my hammer. Bonspiel.

I love curling. If I could go to Vancouver 2010, my top priority would be attending curling. It's a great yell-at-the-tv sport.

WTF is curling? I thought it would be a bunch of hair dressers.

And I disagree, that pic no NOT Safe For Work. What the hell job does the submitter work at? Would he want his boss to see that on his screen?

SecretAgentWoman: WTF is curling? I thought it would be a bunch of hair dressers.

It's sorta like a giant shuffleboard game on an ice rink. I played once. It was kinda neat.

They play it in the Olympics. I think the all-time oldest gold medal winner was a curling champion.

FAAAAAAP! SWEEP!!!
 
2005-11-01 03:35:00 AM
I'd hit it with a panzer tank division.

/Crude? You bet.

Ahhhhhhh SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP

/YEEEeeaaAAHH!

To help support the sport go here to purchase a calendar!
 
2005-11-01 03:44:38 AM
I'd hit it!

/Hurry! HARD!!!!!!!

Hey! My first accepted link thingy! After only two years too. And, for the record, that pic is safe for MY work. Sorry if not safe for yours.
 
2005-11-01 03:51:29 AM
i just knew i should have been a curler
 
2005-11-01 03:52:09 AM
because then i would look just like her, of course
 
2005-11-01 03:55:42 AM
well done baconpatroller, gives me hope.
 
2005-11-01 03:58:41 AM
For those of you that don't know what curling is, it's a sport that uses this thing at the bottom:



I don't know that it's nsfw, but if it is, at least I can tell my kids that I was banned for a nsfw curling picture.
 
2005-11-01 03:59:07 AM
Curling is a great sport, both for watching on TV and for playing.


/feel free to substitute "ok" for "great" and take out the word "both" and the phrase "and for playing".
/actually, I like curing
/hurry hard!
 
2005-11-01 03:59:50 AM
curing and curling are both good
 
2005-11-01 04:01:09 AM
Has she got that thing pointing the right way ?
 
2005-11-01 04:47:18 AM
This article is useless without tasteless pictures.

The "female-athelete tasteful nude calendar" is getting a little played out. That said, there's a player for Sweden that is smoking and increases my interest in the sport 300% (which is to say I still don't give a good goddamn about curling).

SecretAgentWoman: And I disagree, that pic no NOT Safe For Work. What the hell job does the submitter work at?

I don't know of any job I've had where it would be an issue. The only two places I imagine such a tame picture could cause issues would be in a monastery or in some religious fundamentalist society.
 
2005-11-01 05:49:02 AM
I'm surprised nobody mentioned the amount of "Arce" in that article. Surely that much Arce is not safe for work?

/I bet she insists that her name be pronouned Ar-Chay or something like that.

... or the modern office, where you can be fired for just about anything, any time. If I worked in an environment like that I wouldn't even risk visiting Fark at all, even on my breaks, in case the tiny SBB ad got me fired.

I see an itty bitty titty in that pic.

I would like to sweep her stones.


\Sorry, no PS on this computer.
 
2005-11-01 07:09:22 AM
I'd get into the hack to sweep it past the far tee line

For those that have no idea what curling is, go to these sites
Curling Basics, with Flash animated goodness
The Curling basics (From the site of my club)

CUrling is more difficult then Bowling, but not as difficult.. or as expensive as Golf. But is much more of a team sport then either is.

Good Curling!

Curling is teh ghey. That pic is safe for my work, but I can see how it wouldn't be for many (unlucky).

2005-11-01 07:18:00 AM
I certainly wouldn't give it the brush off.
 
2005-11-01 07:21:12 AM
I see button.

Curling on TV is another great thing about living in Canada.
It's right up there with pea meal and poutine.
 
2005-11-01 07:25:44 AM
Love the Polish chicas.
 
2005-11-01 07:26:38 AM
"Safe for work" is relative. And personally, I think it's stupid to be perfectly okay aith the showing of 98% of the breast, but not 100%. Damn those evil, sinful nipples.

At any rate, that photo is more like, "Safe for free-swinging liberal workplaces and employees with private offices," and not "Safe for cube-dwellers in uptight 401(k) management firms." Like me. dammit.
 
2005-11-01 07:39:36 AM
How ironic. That picture made me *un* curl.

In curling, when it gets out of hand, you can quit.
It's OK to curl on national TV in front of millions of people.
In curling, you can score up to 10 times in one night.
A really good curling game lasts two and a half hours.

In curling, you don't regret a mistake nine months later.
When you're finished curling, someone else has to clean the sheets.
In curling, you're expected to yell, "hurry, hurry, hard all the way!"
In curling, there are four positions to know, but you only have to be good at one of them.

The "female-athelete tasteful nude calendar" is getting a little played out.

It's like we're going back to the 1950s when they had women's basketball players wearing bare-midriff tops and beauty contests at the half, cause otherwise no one would watch it. Huzzah for progress!

At least this time (we hope) the players disrobing are doing so of their own volition ...

NY Times
"The Amateur Athletic Union, which sponsored many women's sports, responded by running beauty contests at the women's national championships. The players themselves competed in the contests. Many angrily protested this kind of ticket-selling, as they did when professional teams, such as the Golden Cyclonesled by one of the greatest all-around athletes of the century, Mildred "Babe" Didriksonplayed in shorts and jerseys. But, as historian Allen Guttmann noted, "The uniforms boosted attendance from under 200 to some 5000 a night.""

The calendar is the brainchild of Ana Arce, a photographer who skipped the Andorran women's team for three seasons before moving to Spain this year.

Shaddap! Everybody and their dog is doing a nude calendar these days to raise money. I bet she had a real moment of enlightenment..."Hey! Nobody has ever done a tasteful nude calendar before! This is my brainchild!"

Shaddap!

How do you keep Canadian bacon from curling in the pan?
Take away the little brooms and stones, eh.

I guess you haven't left the Maritimes yet.

Outside of Fredricton, Moncton or St Jean, there's men that can go 10 times. They mostly come from Newfoundland (born) and move to Toronto (currently living).

Are European firms really tolerant of employees surfing around hardcore porn sites, or spending the majority of their day on sites like FARK?
 
2005-11-01 08:08:31 AM
Curling also involves the massive consumption of alcohol, which should make it the National Sport of Farkistan.

/tell me you've been to a bonspiel and stayed sober. Anyone? No? Point made.

Polish women rock! I have a polish friend, and she's so tall and beautiful. Oh, Polish women rock b/c most of them are over 5'10". *whimper*

stpickrell: Are European firms really tolerant of employees surfing around hardcore porn sites, or spending the majority of their day on sites like FARK?

In my experience, in companies in both Europe in Australia, small and large (all white-collar office jobs), none would blink at that picture.

On the other hand, if you spent your whole day on Fark and not doing your job, that's something else. But that is nothing to do with semi-naked people, which is probably milder than what could be found on day time television or on the front page of local newspapers.
