Daily Ungrumble

I've watched about five hours of Olympic curling and I still don't have the faintest idea what the rules are, how scoring is calculated, or even what the actual goal of the game is. Something about putting the rock in the hoose by the end. But I'm happy to keep watching, mostly for the closeups of Canadian champion curler John Morris.
