Look at the photo, Jen. The Monster is fine and being well cared for.

Grave stone for someone named Mycatt.

My cat died. :(

You know you are in the heart of curling season when you go down to the basement for a suitcase and instead come upstairs with a crock pot.

So funny story, once of the recent apple watch updates added an "until I leave <geo location>" option for Do Not Disturb. When I'm at the curling club it says, "until I leave work."

While Doctor @buckyisotope.bsky.social's joke certainly lacks some curling nuance, the American teams have been successful, absolutely delightful to watch and are rivaling the Japan women for being the most fun viewing--all without hogging the rock.

I got sworn at a lot by my friends and then they bought me a beer of shame after the game.

The ones sweeping earn that right.

No epic curling fails in the book, but I promise there's a pot joke on page 1. My epic curling fail was sweeping a hit and right before the twelve foot, I fell to my knees and slid right into the house moving about seven stones with my body. Took about 10 minutes to put all the rocks back.

I am begging you to revise the post and change the word frame to end. This is like saying the Seahawks scored nine points in the first two periods.

If you like curling my or are even just curious about the sport, my great pal @flyoverjoel.bsky.social quite literally wrote the book on it. It’s a great, fun read that explains the sport and its history. Check it out!

Bare Bones Stones: A Welcome Guide to Curling Bare Bones Stones: A Welcome Guide to Curling won't teach you the secrets of curling. If I knew those, I'd keep them to myself and be a much better curler than I am. Instead, the book is aimed for new...

Hello New Curling Addictions - Mixed Doubles wrapped up excitingly today and we've got a one day break before men's and women's start. If you've got curling questions, or like dumb jokes, you've got some time to read my book on curling.

No, but we did Die Hard.

We have a couple of retired air traffic controllers who were doing the Frogtown ice prep in the wee hours of the mornings so these folks could practice before work. They were like, "we're up anyway and our wives like it when we are out of the house."

Yes, I believe that I do. I'll send you a message.

Hey! I miss you both! It's been too long since we've been in person!

A whole lot of people who don't get what Shipping Up To Boston is really about.

Pretty sure anyone who was mad about Bad Bunny probably peed themselves during Green Day.

I am very aware from multiple sources that folks have been trying to get you to throw rocks at Frogtown for several years. All I'm saying is that you can't compete if you don't say yes to one of those people.

God this is awful. As someone who busted their ass to write something good, this whole "I'm gonna push out a lot of garbage content" just absolutely kills me. (Also, buy my book. It's about curling and the Olympics are on).

The dirty secret of soccer is that no one involved in the sport will admit that kicking the ball doesn't do anything. 🙄

Except he throws mjolnir and it's the hammer.

They might, but we probably wouldn't with all of the screaming and whatnot.

Are we like talking the MCU Avengers or other iteration. From a weight-to-pressure standpoint, probably the Hulk, but for pure effectiveness my money is on Quicksilver.

Joe...

Olympic Curling has already started so if you have any questions about the roaring game, drop 'em here and I'll answer them for you.

Murders are up since ICE came to town.

I don't want to alarm anyone, but you need to stop everything you're doing right now.

FYI - I'm retired. Not getting paid to protest these numbnuts.

I've been quiet the last few weeks for . . . reasons, but a quick reminder to everyone outside the Twin Cities. We aren't popping champagne until all of these fascist ICE puds are out of Minneapolis, Saint Paul and the seven county metro area and neither should you.
