As is well known, at least on this website, the job of the Canadian Curling Association is cobaggery, or more specifically, attempting to raise the level of cobaggery in Canadadia to the point where that country will be associated in people’s minds with cobaggery. At the moment, they appear to be failing miserably, as Canadadians (at least female Jewish Canadadians) appear to be engaging in flagrant acts of noncobaggery, uncobaggery, and possibly even anticobaggery. (The protesters were arrested by da Mounties and then released.)
Meanwhile, here, south of the border, where moose fear to tread due to the possibility of having to deal with the health “care” “system”, we have, um, Thomas Friedman. It seems necessary to blame the CCA for this, too. If they had it together and were really getting their cobag on up in Canadaland, they might even be able to attract one T. Friedman away from the U.S. Not that I would wish Friedman on Canada, though if the CCA were living up to its 3B reputation, it might.
Also, engaging in gratuitous cobaggerylessness are over 500 residents of Sderot. I haven’t figured out how to blame the CCA for this yet, though I suppose I could blame AIPAC for not having convinced as many actual Israelis as they have U.S. congresscritters that there is something wrong with saying sensible things about peace.

I think that exceeds our per-capita quota of wingnuts.
Having a small population comes with a few privileges.
And the CCA may not be doing its job, but the WCA certainly is.
But MenD, you keep exporting them to us…
CCA is asleep at the wheel/
I can’t think of a funnier concept than the World Curling Association.

We are no longer friends.
I think someone just bought some Zatarain’s fish fry.
Men. D., I’m sure fish was commenting on the humour of a competing organization to the World Curling Federation.
Plus, Canadia sent us Bryan Adams and Celine Dion.
The world is not a regulation-size curling stone. It was bad enough getting moose curling a fair shake.

International Federation of Cheese Chasers
World Camel Wrestling Federation
Chessboxing Championships
Buzkashi International Association
I think this only serves to prove my point.
Plus, Canadia sent us Bryan Adams and Celine Dion.
Canada makes me nervous.
Plus, don’t they have oil and Muslims and stuff?
We shoulda invaded Canadia instead of Irackeystan. Much cheaper, logistically.

And so much more oil, too!
I mean, uh, it’s so much colder! Even than Chicago! And the moose are rabid. You wouldn’t like it here at all.
Dear Mr. r. s. fish,
I too find all those invented names of organizations truly hilarious, particularly the one about “chessboxing”. Although I can think of no fictitious sport that would be more improved by the consumption of citrus products than the “chessboxing”.
In any case, those names are far funnier than the name of our organization, the Citrus Fashion Association. If only we had that kind of creativity! However, it would have interfered with our serious work and mission of distinguishing which humans are particularly deli…I mean fashionable.
The Citrus Fashion Association
Dear esteemed CL, I would like to point out that none of the sports listed are “fictitious.”
To whit:
Chessboxing
Camel Wrestling
Bog Snorkeling
Cheese Chasers
Buzkashi
I suspect each organization will be contacting you directly for a formal apology. The WCA on the other hand, now that is funny…
The WCA’s vengeance shall be swift. That is all I am authorized to say.
I’m sorry but these are all clearly fictitious organizations—unlike the Citrus Fashion Association, which is renowned for its good works the world over.
But not, it appears, its web presence.
That moose curling has not whipped the world into a frenzy of antler-grabbing-ass-ice-scooting is the strongest indictment of all against the WCA. Moose curling beats even snake-planing for family fun.
Sadly, the MCA was rather messily disbanded following a tragic incident involving the Jokkmokk custard festival and a freak whirlwind.
