Yeah Seth, true, but everytime I hear about... "about" and how we say 
"about" like you folks say we say about. I say it to myself out loud several 
times and it never comes out "about" like you folks say it comes out 
"about.... about!" ;-)

Curling is very easily explained... "Canadians have this strange game, " 
Curling." It's were two teams, a half dozen players stand facing each other 
on a frozen pond or sheet of ice and "throw rocks at each other!"

In an attempt to knock the other fellow out of the centre ring! ;-) Sorry to 
knock him off his button! The only defence and attack mode is sweeping 
vigorously with a broom and it's the only weapon allowed to defend one's 
end! ;-) Known as the button. Thats the part in the centre and although it 
resembles a "shooting target laying on the ice..... guns are not allowed 
cause you must throw rocks. Canadian's? You gotta love us. :-)

And the team with the largest number of rocks piled on the other guy's 
button ! ;-)   WINS! :-) And body counts don't count! ;-)

And American's want to come here so they can learn to throw rocks at each 
other? ;-)

PS: The best part of Curling is the warmth of the lounge with... you guessed 
it...... "a good Canadian beer" in hand while you watch people throwing 
rocks at each other's button!  :-)
