Quote from: theinevitable
it is weird to me how in some areas of the US there are stereotypes about hockey players.

Shit, the Utica metroplex... such as it is... from which I was spewed is one of the few places in the world where there isn't socialized medicine and people give a fuck about curling.

Also: bocce and lacrosse.

All sorts of weird overemphasis on not-even-tertiary athletic endeavours.

Before the economy got really really bad, they supported the highest level of minor-league hockey despite an utterly tiny population. I'm pretty sure scenes from Slapshot were filmed at the Syracuse War Memorial and the Utica Aud. Ah, the fights you'd get, life-long AHL stall-outs, trying to just pummel their way into the lucrative role as an enforcer in The Bigs. Holy hell.

The arguement can be made that high-minors hockey is the most purely entertaining form of that sport.

All three of those sort of exist here in Utah. Lacrosse largely among wealthy Catholic school attending kids, bocce among Italian Americans trying to be more Italian without the usual stereotypes, and curling mostly in my mind after attending an event at the 2002 Winter Games in Ogden. There's even a curling club in Ogden I have thought about hooking up with, but, you know.

I think I could play curling at a gold medal level today.  Seriously, I haven't lost a game of shuffleboard in years.

I was surprised to find curling in Houston.

My grandfather payed his way through college hustling shuffleboard. The kind you play in bars on a hardwood table, not the old ladies on cruiseships kind.

Sometimes I don't know what the fuck y'all are talking about and I'm cool with that.

Ray will cheat. He doesn't have the chops, so a bear in an elephant costume will do the winning. Or maybe Pat [strained line of reasoning that would allow me to finish off with] "Williams-Sodoma", right guys.

The absurdity is veiled by the poetic charm with which the poet invests it.

Nobody can stay mad at Ray.  And this is worth a hell of a lot more than a hundo.
