    As the photo above clearly indicates, uvular health is very important to curlers, as well.

    That's one of the great things about CP: free medical advice that's affordable ! :)

    Even athletic Philistine that I am, I can appreciate the poise and form of a truly great curler. Note the curl of that upper lip.

    I can sit there for hours and watch Olympic Curling...heck, even events like the world championships and such. Have no idea how to explain it, it just draws me in.

    Speaking of being drawn in, 4 years ago, that Women's Russian Team had me glued to the TV, for obvious reasons.
    No excuses!

    Had my first job in the Detroit area out of college (back in the early 90s). Had cable and used to get the Canadian channels across the border. Every Saturday without fail, I would be flipping through the channels and curling would be on. I would end up watching the whole contest every time.
