Curling kicks extreme amounts of ass, but a lot of people have to rediscover that every four years.
1. It will hook you before you know what's happening.
did not see my mixed curling obsession coming.
2. They're spellbound.
Olympic curling appears like an old spirit friend. I watch. I listen. Spellbound. An hour passes. And I have no idea what just happened.
3. Some are total haters.
Curling has to be the most obscure olympic sport. What is the point?
4. Others try to understand, but they simply can't.
Okay, curling. You win. I don’t understand you and it seems I never will.
5. But it's really not that complicated, folks.
Is curling just swiffering on ice?
6. Every four years!
Every four years I have a passionate affinity for curling.
7. Don't fight it.
I have fallen victim to the hype. I watched curling, and by gosh ... I liked it. I need counseling.
8. Curling can be relaxing...
Curling has to be one of the most soothing sports I have ever seen.

13. Also, curling has some very exciting storylines.
the Olympics are good because people say things like "he used to be the bad boy of curling" and they're being totally serious
14. Seriously, how can you beat this level of drama?
"He was once known as the bad boy of curling in Canada" - a real line of commentary I just heard on the Olympic broadcast.
For those wondering, that's Canada's John Morris, who earned his reputation by breaking brooms and once ripping off his shirt in anger.
15. Curling rocks, that's why.
Why do I love curling so much? #winterolympics
