Hammerfall vs. Sweden

Posted by Eric on Monday, February 22, 2010   |   Link to this post

As mentioned on last night’s coverage of the women’s curling match between the USA and Sweden, we present “Hammerfall vs. The Swedish Womens Olympic Curling Team.”

Hammerfall is a heavy metal band that formed in Sweden, and this is their music video for their single “Hearts on Fire.”

It might just be the greatest thing the Internet has ever produced. Seriously.

Something to Watch For…

Norway's Pants
Well, the US Men have lost their first match 7-5 against Germany. They’ll be playing again this evening against Norway. Now, the thing to keep a VERY close eye on will be Team Norway’s pants. They may not be easy to spot, so you might need to do some eye exercises to help you see them. Okay, this might not be entirely true. They’re actually attracting quite a lot of attention, and hopefully Team USA won’t be too distracted by them. Want a pair for yourself?

March 6 is Go Curling Day in Michigan!

Now, we’ll be among the first to admit that our government has much better things to be doing with their time than to spend any amount of energy discussing curling on the floor of the Michigan legislature. There’s a 2 billion dollar deficit and high unemployment to worry about — c’mon people!! That being said, it sure is neat that March 6, 2010 has been declared “Go Curling Day” in Michigan. Sound too crazy to be true? Read the proclamation yourself!

Colbert Curls!

Posted by Jason on Monday, January 4, 2010   |   Link to this post

Late night talk show host Stephen Colbert made big news in 2009 by stepping up to sponsor the US Speed Skating team. Since 2010 is going to be the “curlingest” year that Kalamazoo has ever seen, it’s only fitting that the first “Colbert Report” of 2010 will feature his attempt to become a member of the U.S. Olympic squad by becoming a member of the U.S. Olympic curling team! Tune in tonight at 11:30 to see the report… or check back here later for a post from the episode.

[UPDATE] – Video

Perhaps the best Zombie Curling movie EVER

What will they think of next?

“Deadspiel” has just won the Toronto Zombie Short Film Festival. That’s right: a Zombie curling movie has just won an award. You can visit their web site to see a very short (what it lacks in length, it makes up for in humor!) trailer for the film, and visit YouTube to see a little behind the scenes look at the movie. We’ll have to begin to see what we need to do to get this movie shown in Kalamazoo during the US Nationals.

[UPDATE] “Deadspiel” will be showing tonight (Tuesday, November 3, 2009) as part of the Mitten Movie Project in Royal Oak, Michigan. Tickets are $10, and the show starts at 7:30 p.m.
