Curling was invented in Scotland, so here is the greatest Scottish record I ever heard, Finn Mac Cuill singing Gaberlunzie Man (from Sink ye, Swim Ye 1978 available on CD 25 years later at amazon.com!!! on cd by Celtic America Llc or download MP3s!!!) The song goes around and around and never seems to end
Well, the temperature in Bangor hasnt gone below 32 degrees since January, and the ice is getting a little crumbly now a month later! But its still fit for CURLING!!! I dont know why, but the kids have picked out curling as their favorite Olympic sport: they love to watch that stone sliding down the ice so we made a few home made diy curling rocks: (now we know why they call it "the Roaring Game"... the rocks are loud when they slide!)
One with two plastic mixing bowls duct taped together, filled with cement and a paint-roller handle (I didnt look closely at a picture of a curling rock beforehand: the handle should be OVER the rock, not behind it oh well) the plastic one weighed right around 45 pounds, but it didnt slide far enough.
The other stone is a metal casserole dish, filled with water and duct taped shut. It never gets freezing outside, so we had to freeze it in the freezer overnight! (how about that? Cant even get below freezing in maine in February!!)
The swifter mop ™ seemed to work pretty well!
The metal casserole dish slides like crazy!!! WAHOOO!! The kids invented lots of new rules for their own curling games, involving toy trucks and hockey pucks, etc.. usually they just aimed for some imaginary bump on the ice
Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice: get a big rock, and curl on the ice. Yay for curling!!!
Drop the hammer, good buddy!

So do an anti freeze to the Back of the House
Then pull out the Bite stick and the broom for a bonspiel at Brier and if the buttons buried, dont bum,
Just Chip and roll And youre Coming home: dont Dump the handle,
Look out for Frost on your hammer! Protect your pancakes!
And never say Die! Die! Die! Hard! Hurry! Never ! Off! Right off! Whoa!!!!!
