Well that sounds like a surefire plan for Olympic gold!
Actually curling is a really cool sport. But I always feel a little guilty watching curling because the only time I ever "fainted like a little girl" was during the closing ceremonies for an international curling competition.
Because I was filling in for a friend, the costume, a hideous black wool dress with rickrack and coordinating hideous cap, was waaaaaaaaay too big for me. So in order to not show too much skin on international tv I wore my regular clothes underneath.
I did fine though all the flag carrying and marching around on the ice. But once we were all lined up and quiet for the national anthem of somewhere I don't remember, I started to feel a bit queasy. I tried to hang in there but the national anthem of somewhere I don't remember was really long and then they played another anthem which I really only remember as the national anthem of the black spots.
Ideally the guy who caught me before I hit the ice would have been the guy I had a crush on since I was really only there wearing a silly costume because I heard he was doing it. I think in reality I was plucked from the ice by some old guy who seemed really annoyed at my inappropriate fainting and ruining of the pomp and glory of the ceremony. Afterwards in the lobby my crush, who in the few days since the opening ceremony had seemed to have an increasing interest in me, looked at me like "ewwwwwwwww, any chance you had is totally gone now."
So if you win Olympic gold I won't be watching because I have totally sworn off all ceremonies for international curling. I also got over that crush really fast. I mean gosh I only fainted like a little girl because I actually was a little girl!
