    In the stands...

    Spotted these two in the stands during the USA v Norway curling match:

    Not meaning to steal the thread, but while watching the Olympics last evening, one of the commercial interruptions was for the Curling Club of Houston. I had no idea that Houston had such! I'm tempted to visit!

    Closest I ever got to curling was a saw dusted shuffleboard, thanks to the OP for the picks.

    I am impressed by the simple, traditional wear of kilted highland attire these two exhibit. I am particularly drawn to the classic Balmoral of the red-headed, long haired chap on the right, and the basic- though functional- sporran of the gentleman on the left.

    To be honest though, I am always pleased by most public wearing of the kilt I see. I'm not bothered by the odd wearing of attire at sporting events- odd behavior at sporting events seems to be common! Though occasionally- like you, I'm sure- I see attire I'd rather not have seen.

    Remember that, in reality, "Team GB" is Team Scotland - all the players (male and female) are Scots so there are a number of Scots supporters.. The men were knocked out by the Swiss but the ladies are now in the semifinals. Also note that the girls' skip (Eve Muirhead) is an excellent piper.

    (I suspect the "red" hair may be a wig!)

    You can buy caps with the red hair attached!
    If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!

    I was hoping readers- who have seen that hat and wig sold to tourists (and, apparently sports fans)- would get my attempt at humor.
