blueschica Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I thought it might be interesting to have a Winter Olympics thread. Anything about the events could be up for discussion. With people in all different time zones, though, what about result spoilers? Just say that there might be some? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 CURLING RULES!!!! Have you ever played? It's actually a lot of fun!Yes, I have. My wife's family (Canadians) are big curlers. Her father even competed at the USA nationals for team Washington, back in the day. I'm enjoying the mixed pairs curling right now. A rare format. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordgalaxy Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 "HURRY HARD! HURRY HARD!" Curling is 1 of those sports that I'd heard of but knew little about but I find oddly appealing to watch. 100% more so than any figure skating which gets the lions share of the coverage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edhunter Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 As much as I think gun owners are losers, I like the Biathalon the most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More athletic than one might think, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordgalaxy Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 As much as I think gun owners are losers, I like the Biathalon the most.I'm just waiting for the moment one those guys loses it and turns to start firing into the crowd. You know they want to, right? That's what gun owners secretly hope to do, kill someone, preferably a brown skin "person". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 The US men's hockey team lost to Slovenia. This is what happens when you have a bunch of guys from BU on the team, and the only guy from BC is 39. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
