There Are Pants and Then There Are Norwegian Pants


These pants would be the latter... This is the the Norwegian olympic curling squad during their practice round a couple days ago in Vancouver , BC. I believe that the Vikings bought those pants directly from a John Daly yard sale just before they arrived in Canada. That can be the only explanation. Good thing those pants ARE AWESOME.

When asked about the pants, team captain Thomas Ulsrud said "My Second (in command) is a real flashy dresser and he is trying to convert the rest of the team. I guess we have to have a team meeting and see what happens.

"There are no rules against the pants, but there may be after this," said the aforementioned second-in-command Christoffer Svae. "The WCF is working on a dress code, but I do not think they have implemented it yet."

The WCF is the World Curling Federation and thankfully they must be bogged down in pantaloon red tape because now the world gets to enjoy those pants for two weeks as the Norse team struts them around the curling center in Vancouver. I only hope they make those pants available for purchase on the Norwegian Curling team website!
