Is there such a thing as negative viewership numbers?

I used to watch just in hopes that one of them would fall and impale themselves with the broom...hasn't happened yet damnit!

i always try to watch the curling when i can find it actually being broadcast. i don't get canadian channels on directv, but if i know it's on at night now i can record it and watch it later. when i was still playing hockey the rink used to fill gallon milk jugs with water and freeze them - then we'd get to throw the stones. i doubt it's quite the same, but it was fun anyway. i'm sure it's big in canada, just like cricket is big in ex british colonial areas (except this great country). of course, i used to like watching cricket as well, all 3 days of it . . . . .

as for who is and who isn't an athlete, i think those that rag on golfers and bowlers and race car drivers are the people that can't do any of those things. just because you drive 90 on the freeway and swerve in and out of traffic doesn't mean you could do it on an oval. now we know another reason why impy has a right forearm that looks like Popeye's . . . .

I used to bowl a lot an never got a Popeye arm so I doubt it is from bowling also.

but I doubt you threw a ball like this

I put my finger tips in the ball (16 lb) (no thumb) and let the ball hang..then I flip it up and into my palm. This builds up forearm strength needed to throw the ball as hard and with as many revs as I do. Everyday I d0 50 of these I do bowl with my thumb..just don't use it for this exersize.
