1. I'm hooked on it! It's very mellow and soothing.
I watch it while I putter around the house. I think it's a cool sport. Kinda like billiards only on a big sheet of ice.

2. Been on for days now...
and it'a amazing how many people are hooked on it. Been on the phone in the AM talking to people about it.

Take the best bits of bowling, billiards, bocci, croquet and shuffleboard and stick it on the ice.

And, look at all the old farts (in Olympic terms) playing. 'Tis the "unbuff" sport for the rest of us-- skill, not strength, counts.

4. I was watching last night
My 10 year old son came in and I told him he could change it and he said "that's okay, this is kinda cool."

If a 10 year old boy thinks it's kinda cool, it's gonna be a big hit. :D

6. I think...
They score by having their rocks in the circle, at the end of a round.
