aid needed, ASAP

[MacLowlife]

I am supposed to give a brief ( "one drink" ) talk to my local St Andrew's Society on Curling. However, I know nothing about it and am confident that nobody else in attendance will, either. Instead, I intend to give a lengthy presentation so general and unhelpful that it could be about anything. My hope is that someone will notice the missing specifics- for instance where and how do you actually play the game- and find it funny.

And yes, I know, Curling is an olympic sport and people have seen it on TV.

So far, I have a list of curling equipment, such as curling pants, shoes and jerseys- with a special mention of the venerable curling houses, where equipment is stored and players might refresh themselves. At some point, I intend to work in my one prop- a curling iron.

I need help with a list of games that are either similar or might be ancestors of curling- I am particularly interested in any game that has Scots or Scotch in the title- like Hopscotch.

Clever lads will recognize this format as being stolen from that great philosopher, John Cleese http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbwkkXGmFrI

Oh, and I will be wearing my kilt whilst giving the presentation. See, it has to do with KILT ADVICE.
