The thing I like best about curling is the pace. I mean, how many sports do
you know where a spectator (or a participant, for that matter) can be there
for the start of a play, go out for a smoke.....and maybe a sandwich and a
quick shower.....and be back in time to see how it ends?

Not only that, but there's plenty of time for drinking, too. In
fact, I get the impression that drinking is pretty much the whole point
of the game. All that sliding across the ice, sweeping, etc. is really
just to keep you warm between drinks. :-)

they need to tweak the halftime shows, though.

Hmmm ... I got the impression that the only reason they have an
intermission is so you can refill your flask/glass/whatever.
