She was lead stone of a team that beat us 18-1. Thankfully the mercy rule ended it in the 8th end.
Share if this know this woman. Share if she and her cronies beat the shit out of you last Tuesday.
Jane from the club. 84 next Tuesday. Preps the ice (badly) every day at 5 AM. Chain smokes a pack a day. Holds some embarrasingly off-colour views. Goes to Saskatoon once a year, grudgingly. Runs the kitchen while muttering to herself. Places rocks in her sleep. Smokes her grandkids at the bonspiel.
