after a long grueling workout, I hike up my sweaty workout shorts, plop down on my favorite brown faux-leather chair, spread my knees far apart, bend down from the waist and take a big sniff.

Ahhhhh, there is nothing like the aroma of freshly baked cookies!


ps: Yahoo sux!!! LOL!

Atticus isn't male. I thought we went over this.

except with AG the whole subject of sports is hypothetical, so you have to just shake your head and remind yourself he is really smart and witty on other topics, like when you over heard Anthony Finkelstein telling his law review mates his secret cunnilingus techniques.

I can't decide what's more odd in that photo - the beret, or the careful perch of her distasteful-but-sadly-necessary nametag.

Are we arguing in quick sand? Don't shift the issue.

The point of that example was to dispute whether or not one could tell whether a person, deemed too inferior to participate in a sport, would provide inspiration to their 13 year old fans if they gained access and could compete.

I nominate this ridiculous phrase as the "Jump the shark" replacement.

I think it's her ridiculous eyebrow grooming.

Yet, you want to fuck her. You know you do.

It is difficult to appear continuously contemptuous and aloof without eyebrow grooming.

I don't know about that brown watch band with that black outfit.

And my point, which I swear to God I will let be after your next reply no mattter how good it will be, is that presently there's no need to see women's leagues as the inferior ones, any more than it is necessary to say heavyweights are better than bantamweight and anyone who was the world bantamweight champion was only just that if the international boxing sanctioning authorities would have let him fight outside of his weight class. I may know nothing about sports, but allowing the "best" bantamweights to fight the lightweights and featherweights "if they can compete" just relegates all of the competitors in weight classes below heavyweight as second class citizens. So open divisions are good for the best individuals but bad for the newly-"inferior" sex-qualified league. That seems like a value worth putting on the table, no?

But if the board has moved on to the more interesting question of whether an NYT columnist is inappropriately elitist, or just elitist enough, I will leave my argument at that.

the watch band is umber. Your comment is simplistic.

I don't see her swinging naked from a chandelier with a bottle of Dom. Just fully-clothed missionary with the lights off. And I'd have to wear the dog collar and feather boa. I really HATE the feather boa.

You'll never beat her at her own game, Target-shopper.

Alright, fucker. After that snide remark, I am turning the webcam OFF, do you hear?
