@clinthouse It's true, I've been in a Windsor cafe full of junior and wannabe mafiosi idling about and staring at us while we get a quick espresso. But even those guys would know better than to try bullshit like this when they know there are cameras watching them from six different angles.
Canada always cheats at curling. I still remember those prairie moosefuckers coming to Scotland in the 1980s and fucking up everyone's rinks with their cornbrooms. Cornbrooms are basically terrible for hurrying stones, but they leave bits of chaff everywhere so can mess up stones unless you're really careful cleaning up. But they were still legal in the 1980s, so Canadians used them as a shitty gamesmanship tactic. They even managed to fuck up the shitty ice at Crossmyloof (my home rink), which was an amazing achievement.
Why do we have hog lines? Because Canadians used PTFE slides and used to hang onto the stone the length of the ice. Cheaty cheaty bastards.
(NB: the above didn't stop me moving to Canada, btw)
