Monday Mixed

Well, if you can't beat em, pull their pants off I suppose. That's just another reason why I love the Roaring Game. When we lose, there is no pulling of pants, it's just a trip to the lounge for a beverage. To me, this is much more acceptable. And that is exactly what they did this past Monday at the Mixed. I did not see one pair of pants pulled down, because that's not how they roll at the BRCC. Everyone just likes to get off the ice and head to the bar, and that's the way it should be.

Ice A: Glen Austin vs Michel Rivard. TIE GAME. With Debbie watching the baby, they had their lovely daughter Kyrie step in at the vice position. She hadn't curled for a couple years but you sure wouldn't know it. She made some great shots and helped her team out big time. She wins the "Just Like Ridin' A Bike" Award. It was nice to see her at the BRCC and I'm sure Mom and Dad are happy to have her visiting.

Ice B: Sandy Milroy vs Dan McMillan. WIN for McMillan. Big win for Dan and his squad, knocking off a tough crew. They win the "Jack In The Beanstalk" Award...they never climbed a giant vine to take down the giant but they slid up the ice all the same.

Ice C: Jerry Jensen vs Gator Fortin. WIN for Fortin. The Fortin crew got ahead in this one and did not look back. They win the "Beatin' All The Swamp People" Award. Not even Troy Landry could have taken down this crew on Monday night. (You have to watch the show Swamp People to get that one!)

Ice D: Francois Lemieux vs Brian West. TIE GAME. The West crew stayed right with the Lemieux squad to make this game a tie. It was nice to see Nancy West back in the mix after a brief hiatus. She wins the "Welcome Back Kotter" Award. I probably just dated myself.

Ice C (Late) Al Viel vs Bob Villeneuve. NO INTEL. This would have been a good game. The Viel crew have been on a roll  but the Villeneuve crew are no slouches so this one could have gone either way. I'm sure Al would have liked to keep his streak going and he wins the "Still Beatin' My Chest" Award.

So that's how it all ended up on this Monday past. This really is a fun league to play in. Although no one really cares about the wins and losses, everyone does enjoy each other's company and that what makes this such a great night out. It becomes a toss up as to what is more fun, the game itself or the hanging out afterwards. That in itself embodies the spirit of curling in general and for sure the spirit of curling at the BRCC!

And here's one more thing that might interest you. I can go in and see which countries are reading our little blog and you would be surprised to know that besides Canada, there are readers from the USA, Russia, Germany, France, Ukraine, Sweden, Australia (I know who that is!), Poland and Taiwan. That is truly amazing. I would be interested in hearing from these people just to see how it is that they visit our site.

Rock On!
