PANTS ON THE ICE, PANTS ON THE ICE, LOOKIN' LIKE A FOOL IN THOSE PANTS ON THE ICE: One of the charms of the Winter Olympiad is that it marks the American public's quadrennial love affair with curling. Of course, the star of curling this year isn't (thus far) a team of strikingly attractive blondes, but pants. Namely, Norwegian curling pants--and yes, you can buy your own. If you're less sartorially and more mathematically inclined, there's "Curl With Math," which is basically FiveThirtyEight for curling.

  1. Awesome, awesome thread title.

    My bus just passed a hotel with a banner for something like the "Capital Curling Convention.". Talk about serendipity.

    Darn it, those pants only seem to come in men's cuts. I am TiVoing all Norway curling matches just to watch the pants in action.
