lol, well actually what happened is a an unreliable friend of mine said that canada creamed sweden by 3 or 4 points, but when I go to the nbc website, it says 'sweden steals a victory'. When I was watching the game I almost convinced myself that they could've been talking about the semi-final game or something. It was also awkward realizing exactly how canada would miss. I'd analyze the position and think 'How does canada not win this game?!? its in the...oh shit! she's gonna jam on the yellow! I can't watch!!!1!1!'

as a child I wanted to be a professional athlete. I still play sports, but my ambition is much more realistic.

yay for vague unspecified commentary.

lol, didn't realize the writer didn't even know it's called a zamboni.

anyone see the women's final? it was intense...the canadians had it locked up, ahead by two with two rocks to play, and no swedish rocks in play. Then Bernard jams a take-out, and in extra ends, misses a tight double to win. I was away during the game and was told the result, but when I went back and watched I simply couldn't believe Canada would lose until I saw it happen.

so...what's the big deal? I mean they're more manly than me, but hell, they just won gold medals, its not like they did anything horrible here. lolwut?

no shit, sherlock.

of course he does.

damn you lyvie for encouraging him!!!!

well, surely you have a better argument than that, its kind of beside the issue...

I love Camus, while the plague is his most famous, 'a happy death' and 'the stranger' read back to back are really interesting, because he scrapped the first, but kept parts of it to put in the latter.

:rolleyes: looks like its gonna be Canada vs. the Pants in the men's final.

:laugh4: :stunned:

lol

and your abuse of the rolleyes smiley has made me want to castrate myself on various occasions.

Happy 18th Birthday Giulia!!!!!

you shouldn't be.

You take the time to post a bunch of pics, but you don't bother to correct a redundant thread name?

tough luck, I was pulling for the scots,as they're clearly a way better team than sweden outside this game. lol, I've been so nerdily focused on the actual curling matches that I completely missed the argument with mark that's taken up most of this thread. I'm not entirely sure why, but for a game that so many consider boring, curling becomes the most controversial sport in the winter olympics. If I do so much as watch it in the lobby of my dorm, every idiot who walks through feels obligated to make some derisive comment about it...like the fact that such a sport exists is somehow an offense to them. I used to get annoyed, but now it doesn't phase me at all, as I no longer care enough to try explaining stuff like what the brooms are for. While this thread is partly amusing and partly serious, I can't help but take it as a place for sincere curling discussion, as there's pretty much no one else at my university who has more than bemused, sarcastic interest in it. As shitty as the U.S. did this olympics, apparently people are taking interest, as over 150 new people showed up at my club's last open house to learn how to play this past week. I'm hoping over time its popularity in the U.S. gets at least to the point that people see it as just another game that people play, instead of some threatening foreign entity.

Ugh, I wish I could watch, but I'm at a student union waiting to help someone with their humanities homework and these computers won't comport with the nbcolympics website. All I know is it's gone to extra ends.

shut up with the wacky smileys and remove either the radiohead or jobro poster, it's sacriligious having them within a thousand feet of each other.

*sigh* close tie-breaker against sweden going on now.

Because somebody has to miss out, better it be them commies than us.

oh shit, this whole time I thought we were talking about one of the biathlon or cross country racers that ended up on the wrong side of a barrier going into the straightaway. I just skimmed over the posts and assumed that's what was being talked about....okay, well, switching subjects... it wasn't Kramer's fault, his coach clearly told him to switch lanes because he thought Sven had been in the wrong lane to begin with. :edit: this is what I was thinking of http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/assetid=e4eda753-3acf-4f19-93f1-c83a725fa594.html#skier+goes+wrong

The impression I got from the replay is he was paying attention to the guy beside him, and was too concerned with staying ahead of him to realize everyone was turning right.
