Feb. 17th, 2006 10:00 amWe've been watching the Olympics around our house lately, and we're
fascinated by--of all things--CURLING! I do believe we've had curling on
the TV almost as often as it's been aired. Okay, we're not fanatical
enough to get up at 4am for the live broadcast, but it's been on every
morning before work and most evenings. Last night our plan was to go out
to India's Rasoi (as I persist in calling it despite its renaming to
"India's Kitchen"), but curling was on, and we had to wait for the last
end.
The commentators have been showing photographs from a
naked-curling-chicks calendar (topless, actually) and Chris spent half
an hour tracking down its source. He has ordered it from the Canadian
Curling Federation (so now you know too).

Ok I have to find my post of a few years ago, I swear it was during the last Olympics about watching and really getting into curling. So this time, like you I am hooked. Ya not the get up a 4am hooked but with the cold I have had I was home sick on Monday and Tuesday and if curling was on I was watching it.
The Johnson sister are way cute well all the women on the team are...and well the a couple on the mens team are prety hot too. *S*
