    :blob_raccoon_peek: I keep seeing the computer-boopers among you mentioning curl.

    And you must understand that I will *always* picture your avatar shoving a chunk of smooth granite across a sheet of ice while another one of you frantically scrambles ahead of it with a broom while you shout directions at each other.

    And those of you computer boopers talking about rust things? You’re all working in a scrapyard with diesel and grease stained coveralls, perhaps with the arms roguishly tied around your waist.

    My Kopfkino is so grateful to have no idea what you actually mean because this is FAR more entertaining :blob_raccoon_coffee: :blobshi5:

    @mycrowgirl as a certified computer booper for many years, you are 100% correct and anyone who says otherwise is just trying to keep the fun for themselves.

    Curling

    Curling is a sport in which players slide stones on a sheet of ice towards a target area that is segmented into four concentric circles. It is related to bowls, boules, and shuffleboard. Two teams, each with four players, take turns sliding heavy, polished granite stones, also called rocks, across the ice curling sheet towards the house, a circular target marked on the ice. Each team has eight stones, with each player throwing two. The goal is to accumulate the highest score for a game; points are scored for the stones resting closest to the centre of the house at the conclusion of each end, which is completed when both teams have thrown all of their stones once. A game usually consists of eight or ten ends.
