US Curling Update - Bronze Gods

The US Men's Curling team, led by the fiesty and sometimes controversial pizzeria owner Pete Fenson (pictured to the left), has done what no other US curling team (men or women) has done before: bring home an Olympic curling medal. They held off the British team, 8-6, in the Bronze Medal game. As soon as the final stone was thrown, celebrations swept across northern Minnesota like the winds of an Alberta Clipper. At Dave's Pizza in Bemidji (Fenson's pizzeria), the champagne was flowing like wine. Chicks were making out with each other on top of tables, and no one in this normally reserved town even cared aboot it, dontcha know.

GMYH sends its heartfelt congratulations to Fenson, Joe Polo, Shawn Rojeski, and John Shuster for starting what will hopefully be a long and fruitful American curling tradition. When it comes to curling, we may be the new kids on the block, but at least we don't wear stupid fedoras and vests over t-shirts and sing totally girly songs.
