This was when southern Canada teams were invited up, would inevitably win all the prizes and then scamp back down south.<BR/><BR/>Now we just offer up cash - $2,000. Which sounds impressive until you divide it by four and then have to pay off a multi-day bar bill. But it's still fun...towniebastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129158923604362272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956785386540751360.post-78618228722854605282007-11-26T21:30:00.000-05:002007-11-26T21:30:00.000-05:00I didn't quite wish I was dead yesterday, but I wa...I didn't quite wish I was dead yesterday, but I was useless to do anything other than watch episodes of "House" and "Lost" on DVD.<BR/><BR/>Why is it called the Furspiel?

Or do I have to wear a mink coat on the rink?Doonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02977052089984009745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956785386540751360.post-78539680848404763642007-11-26T09:40:00.000-05:002007-11-26T09:40:00.000-05:00Glad you had fun at the bonspiel. And if you want ...Glad you had fun at the bonspiel. And if you want a crash course in curling wait until the Furspiel, when you curl four or five 10 end games in about three days.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and it's not a real bonspiel if you don't wake up the day after it's over and wish you were dead, either from drinking or curling too much.<BR/><BR/>So I was hurting yesterday, but the plane ticket did ease the pain...towniebastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129158923604362272noreply@blogger.com
