    I imagine you gotta have a lot of trust in your partner to do 2 man luge. I personally wouldn't want to go sliding at 80+ MPH on an ice track with another guy lying on top of me.

    Not that there is anything wrong with that..

    I only find it interesting every 4 years. The strategic aspect is what gets my attention.

    I wish they would get more shots of the women speed skaters' butts.

    Man I wish I can compete in some of these competition at the Winter games, but it seemed like it's only limited to a certain group of people who live near the snow alps or has a substantial amount of money and white.. Where the heck can you practice luge and curling at, Clay Aiken's house???

    Shuster should now be a word equated with Fail.

    I've never paid attention to curling in my life but this Shuster fella keeps failing over and over and over again.

    He just did it again. He couldn't be any less clutch. He's had the win in his hand 3 days in a row.

    What did I miss? I just got home and saw the end of the 10th end and am watching the 11th end now.

    I assume you guys are talking about Shuster.

    I've never watched curling before this Olympics but I'm assuming this is epic levels of fail.

    Nick Anderson of the curling world? He had 4 game-winners in his hand and choked on all of them.

    He had yet another chance to make an easy winning shot in the 10th end but choked, allowing the opposition to force an 11th end. He may have even chocked twice in the 10th end. I wasn't paying close attention.

    Then, not surprisingly, in the 11th end, he... choked... again.

    His 4th choke job.

    Epic Shuster.

    The Nick Anderson of curling?

    It looks like he's taking one in the shuster.

    Epic shuster!
