Spoiler alert request for DUers. Olympic trials curling is on tonight.

It's on a cable channel. I don't have cable. Please do not spoil the heart-stopping excitement of Olympic-caliber curling by announcing the winner before I've had a chance to watch this on YouTube.

Thank you.

with the understandable excitement all the chryons will be showing play by play and local weather reports will be replaced by curling updates! Turn off phone as well since the Emergency Broadcasting system won’t be able to resist sending out alerts!

Seriously, hope you enjoy it and I promise not to ruin it for you.

He had surgery Friday, so he's recovering in bed with the teevee.

I think I detect satire. But if series, there's not much to worry about.

And it's fucking cutthroat

Yup
