Debra She Who Seeks said...: Whoever drew that old 7-up ad clearly knew nothing about curling -- look at that broom! That's for sweeping floors -- it's not a curling broom! Sheesh.; July 29, 2012 at 5:11 PM
Kal said...: That is the way it was back in the day...grasshopper. I remember the sound of an old straw broom pounding on the ice.; July 29, 2012 at 6:16 PM
Debra She Who Seeks said...: Yes, of course they used straw brooms -- but a curling broom has long, narrow bristles and is not cut short and square like a floor broom. That is a floor broom in the drawing. I stand by my previous comment, young sir.; July 29, 2012 at 7:07 PM
Nick Ward said...: I seem to have wandered into a rather intense discussion about curling and no one is mentioning the three-headed elephant in the room.; July 29, 2012 at 7:24 PM
Kal said...: Now THAT is funny.; July 29, 2012 at 7:43 PM
Kal said...: Oh and Debra, some of us didn't have your fancy store bought curling brooms. We had to make our own, during the long hot summers between seasons. We gleened straw in the fields at night least we be shot at by nervous farmers. You don't know. YOU DON'T KNOW!; July 29, 2012 at 7:45 PM
Debra She Who Seeks said...: Sorry, Kal. I feel your pain.; July 29, 2012 at 7:53 PM
