It's enthralling!

I only like figure skating because of the potential for wardrobe malfunctions. I always watch that and I agree it's enthralling. Not even kidding.
I did hit the red mile for the cup run back in '03? '04? '05? Can't remember what year it was, but that was super fun and I totally got into it. Again, though, there was the naked breast thing, which was pretty cool. But it was also fun just hanging out with my friends being part of an excited mob.
I was at a Flames game a few weeks ago and did notice those chicks that skate out and sweep the snow or whatever were not as scantily clad as the last game I was at (maybe pre-Covid?).
I'm sounding like a bit of a perv here, but I'm really just thinking about this in real time and, I suppose, discovering something about myself.
But for, like, the Olympics and stuff? Yeah, I don't really get into it. I like the snowboarding and will watch highlights, but that's really it. I just don't give a fata although it does seem as though I'm missing out on something that you guys are tapping into. I just don't think it's a switch you can opt to turn on. You have it or you don't.
Your fond memories of team sports reminds me of my fond memories of snowboarding with my friends. Luckily, we still go and have grown our group of riders as the kids have grown up. There will be 15 of us on a ski trip this weekend and I can't wait.
