Sports Update
Hey, if Sports Illustrated can have a swimsuit issue, then BMEWS is entitled to have a Women’s Curling Cheescake issue. As the article below states, it is “very tasteful”. Yep, yum-yum ....
Women Of Curling Gain Greater Exposure
(CANADIAN PRESS)
Women’s curling is sure to receive a lot more exposure this year, thanks to a new international calendar that features nude and scantily clad female curlers. At left is Polish national team lead Kasia Selwand as seen in her photo from the new Curling calendar. The calendar is the brainchild of Ana Arce, a photographer who skipped the Andorran women’s team for three seasons before moving to Spain this year.
“I think it’s going to change the image of the sport which is not so nice,” Arce, who also poses in the calendar, told The Canadian Press. “I’ve been playing for eight years and there are so many beautiful girls playing and nobody knows it. “I doubt that anyone is going to be shocked and everybody’s going to enjoy that and like it.”
All proceeds will be split between the teams of the curlers who pose in the calendar, called the Ana Arce Team Sponsorship Calendar 2006. Arce contacted only women she knew personally through her years in curling, including two Canadians: Melanie Robillard of Ottawa and Lynsay Ryan of Kelowna, B.C., the daughter of two-time world champion skip and 2006 Olympic hopeful Pat Ryan.
Ryan, a 21-year-old student at Hamilton’s McMaster University, found herself in July posing in a see-through sarong in the forests of Fussen, Germany. “I sent him (her father) an e-mail,” Ryan said with a laugh. “I thought it might be better if he read about it and had time to think about it before he replied.”
Arce met Lynsay Ryan at a curling clinic in Germany and was surprised the Canadian agreed to be part of it. “I thought she was going to say no because being Canadian I know it’s more difficult,” she said. “I think things are different for European girls. “We are more open here — a little less shy I think. But she said yes and she just wanted to check the pictures and everything was okay.”
The 12 models represent curling teams from Denmark, Italy, Spain, England, Poland, Germany and Canada. “Some of the girls showed a little bit more, like breasts, because they wanted to,” Arce said of the black-and-white photos. “But it is very, very tasteful.”
A Real Woman -- not some silicone injected, beaver shaved bimbo.
Does Ana pronounce her name “arse”? If so, what’s her pose like?

OOOOOOOHHH! OCM gets the Male Chauvinistic Pig Award for the day. Oink, turn over your crown to him. Everyone stand clear for when Dottie, Twerp, Severa, Rev, et al. get wind of OCM’s “sweeping” remark.
DUCK AND COVER!

P.S. Thanks for the link, Frank. I couldn’t find it myself. Of course I’m too busy droooooooling over Kasia above.
(Note to self: must find a drool smiley!)

She could certainly curl a few things I can think of!

Rickvid, you mean the opposite, right?
OCM, reminds you of when you had balls?Posted by Oink 11/01/2005 at 01:52 PM
What is curling, anyway? And how is it the same as sweeping? And what do sweeping and curling have to do with witches?

The whole thing makes no sense to me. I guess they just couldn’t learn to ice skate.

Beaver shaved bimbo. Uh-huh…
some of us do shave down there...Why?
Cause we had a friggin BABY cut out of us and hair growing around a scar is annoying as all hell.
Ask me sometime to give my version of what ‘being split from hole to hole means’ I DARE ya....
(Hey OCM how was that?
)

AAAIIIIEEEE
TOO MUCH INFORMATION!
Reminds me of when my wife & I had dinner with the couple who had 8 kids—all raised and gone by now. The husband looked like a thin, fit, Hugh Hefner at age 50. The wife looked much older & had a tummy and wrinkles. I said to my wife after leaving the dinner,“If I forget, remind me—it’s better to be the father of 8 than the mother of 8.” She nodded.

Good a time as any to tell this joke. NO really good time!
A five year old girl watches her mother emerge from the shower.
“Gosh, Mommie, you’re fat!”
“Remember honey? Mommie has a baby growing in her tummy.”
“Oh .... what’s growing in your butt?”Posted by Oink 11/01/2005 at 07:13 PM
I think you have led to a lot of support for curling..who cares what the sport is.. they have a calendar with naked athletic chicks in it LOL...Actually I guess I take that back.. If there is a Female version of Sumo Wrestling I wouldn’t want that calendar LOL

Oink - 8 kids? Yikes. Much as I love our sons, two is plenty for us. That’s why I got the snip-snip earlier this year.
My husband’s been in the Navy for 5 yrs now, so I’ve heard quite a few chauvinistic remarks and off color jokes. Bring ‘em on, I don’t care.

Be careful, OCM, this Salem educated woman can put the witches curse on you...........
As far as pictures, I don’t think any of we women at BMEWS are stupid enough to bare our breasts for you perverts..........After all, we are LADIES in the true meaning of the word.......
Posted by Dottie 11/01/2005 at 10:01 PM
Severa: It could be worse (anent the jokes)he might have been a Marine. AND as I recall, it was you who first lowered the level.
Hard to do here at BMEWS.
Dot: you a mindreader? Maybe .. But none of us said anything in print. And I thought my joke (#17) was sweet and innocent!
P.S. Severa—
SNIP SNIP >>>

Actually *points to OCM* He started it.
With the sweeping comment.
Posted by Severa 11/01/2005 at 10:27 PM
Yes, he certainly pointed the direction, didn’t he? This topic started in the gutter—but have we ever had a non-sexual topic that did not end up there? Let’s require it to be a topic with ten or more comments.

Dot / Severa—An Old Classic (rerun) adapted for all of us.
It was early last September
As near as I can remember
While strolling down a lane in tipsy pride
Not a word did I utter
As I lay down in the gutter
And this pig came up and lay there by my side
Not a soul was I disturbing
As I lay there by the curbing
When this high toned lady come
And I heard her say
“You can tell a man who BMEWSes
By the company he chooses”
And the pig got up and slowly walked awayPosted by Oink 11/02/2005 at 09:12 AM
OINK: Go to your room. No supper for you tonight, young man.
I’ll have you know this is a high-class joint.

Compared to Congress, the Clinton White House, the United Nations, and a Crack House, we are a paradigm of probity.
