WOT HO, THE GRANITE (ALL ABOUT CURLING):
Did you know that Shakespeare was an astute observer of the curling scene? The Bard's plays are crammed with references to the Roaring Game. Look them up in ..
.. King John (a word to curlers in general):
"Blow each dust, each straw, each little rub, Out of the path."
.. A Midsummer Night's Dream:
"To show our simple skill, That is the beginning of our end."
.. Cymbeline (tactics when you're leading and you've got the hammer):
"I'll throw it into the creek, Behind our rock."
.. The Merry Wives of Windsor (a skip's advice on Beginners' night):
"Who's there, I trow! Come near the house, I pray you."
.. Troilus and Cressida (a comment on an obvious novice):
"Look you what hacks are on his helmet!"
Shakespeare even had curling positions down pat. From ..
.. The Merchant of Venice:
"Allay with some cold drops of modesty, Thy skipping spirit."
.. Othello:
"Do you perceive how he laughed at his vice?"
.. Richard the Third:
"Richard the Second here was hack'd to death."
.. King Lear:
" 'Tis the times' plague, when madmen lead the blind."
Finally, a word for all curlers. From ..
.. As You Like It:
"Sweep, you fat and greasy citizens."
