Ok.....I think it is absolutely selfish of us to horde this thread in
the respective groups...rec.sport.curling,
alt.punk,alt.punk.straight-edge

I think this thread now has reached a level of realization that the
people in rec.gardens.orchids (this is where I hang out) need to get
involved. They often have some very interesting things to say and not
just about orchids...I have now become a curling punk sXe orchid
enthusiast and I think it's WICKED. I have now just gotten off the
phone with my boss and explained to him I cannot come into work today.
I told him I am sick, but the truth is I am staying home today so I
can monitor this thread. I hope my boss is not one of the people
responding to this thread...YIKES

I'm just as guilty as anyone. I told Ralf one time that I had never
taken my guitar to a game or my brush to a gig, and I should know
better, too.

In fact I've taken my brush to gigs quite often ever since I started
getting into curling. The brush has become part of my punk rock
uniform almost as much as the skin-tight "Hello Kitty" t-shirt and the
strap-on dildo attached to my forehead!

So how about this: I'll come over to alt.punk.straight-edge
once in a while and see how you're doing, and you can make sure that
when you post to newsgroups, you only post to the relevant groups.

Ok. Since I like you people, especially you and Rod, I shall do
so...until the urge gets too strong again...

Just like a explained in the other threads: The sportive aspects of
curling can be discussed in r.s.c., while the people who believe in
curling being more than just a game can discuss this all-encompassing
lifestyle in the punk newsgroups.
That said, the fact that the time for this powerful, holistic ideology
of the 21st century, which is curling, obviously hasn't come yet,
makes me feel a tad bit blue. But I can't force it, anyway.
