This is what I said: Curling is cool.

And let me tell you, if you have even a small amount of knowledge about the game of curling and you find yourself surrounded by young'uns who have to make something fun out of a game that has a reputation of being a geezer game that moves in slow motion or looks like a contest for housewives on speed and the rules are nutty and you can't figure out what's going on and why would you want to anyway because it's boring and what the heck is the hack and why would sweeping help the frickin' rock move faster but nevertheless they have to make something out of it so that other young'uns will be impressed and realize that it's not all about big-time professional sports and that sometimes a little game like curling isn't just about your great gramps in Weyburn Saskatchewan and drinking beer and having a smoke on the ice (okay, that's kinda cool) and though it's true they don't have the snappiest uniforms or anything, hell Tiger Woods is awesome and he wears golf clothes for gosh sakes; so anyway if you open your big mouth around the kids who need any tidbit of information about the game of curling, well all of a sudden you're a curling expert and a geezer or something like that until the kids build a great online game and all of a sudden curling is kinda "cool" in that ironic cynical retro "quotation marks" way that the young'uns get off on.

And now for the gratuitous self promotion, you'll find that curling IS cool if you follow this link. [Expired link.] Thanks and good luck.
