Um, what gets curled anyhow?

It does IMHO.then again, golf is boring to watch for some. Doesn't make the sport boring.
Surely curling is just big shove ha-penny. http://www.tradgames.org.uk/games/Shove-HaPenny.htm
And shove ha-penny is played in pubs. With beer at hand.

I voted no, I just couldn't understand it when I was watching the Olympics. I just kept thinking, "Who thought of this?" It has great teamwork but frankly I'll just keep watching the Olympic Skiiing (The best part of the Olympics!).
In fairness though I guess it's not exactly entertaining watching people throw lead balls or lift heavy weights either but come on watching the hick channel Log cutting strong man competions is more entertaining.

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
