    LOL. Sorry about that. I've mentioned before that it originated from playing QB1 back in the day. You could only put in so many letters (6) on each team's side, so I went with an old Simpson's quote and wrote "FATTY" on one side and "FATFAT" on the other (Everyone's name was in all caps.) I just found it funny when the screen would say "GREAT CALL FATTY!" or "TOO BAD FATFAT!" I would always yell at my pseudonym when it would do that, like
    "Damn you Fatty!"

    You forgot to mention how the girl in the story that he made out with and was trying to hookup with mentioned that she had a penis on more than one occassion, that he initially said he had hooked up with. It is a fun read:

    That reminds a lot of the family guy episode from last sunday where the jock was saying everyone was gay.

    Then somebody posts a 'Who is hotter: Jeff Timmons or Marat Safin" thread and then you get really confused.

    No! If anything, the fair sex is a higher form of life. True, I enjoy replicant sex, at least the female version (don't tell my wife!), but technically they aren't alive, so how could they be a lower life form? The problem I have with replicant females is that they can get pretty darn rough. It's a good thing I have a hard head! Are there any replicant females on the board? If so, give me a call!

    I made sure to use an obviously female name, especially on a sports board, so no one would have any doubt. That way, if my point of view seemed excessively emotional or feminine, or if I didn't have enough sports knowledge, at least it would be understood and forgiven. Most of all, it weirds me out whenever anyone assumes I'm male. I went with a neutral name once on another (non-sports) board and people would do that. Here, being what it is, I'm guilty of assuming they're male unless it's one (like Hayesfan) that we all know is female.

    Figure skating boards are majority female but have a significant percentage of males. The majority of those are gay.

    I think avatars help distinguish masculine and feminine personalities. It helps sift out the metros and butches or bicurious.

    Mostly I assume a sports forum is populated with dudes, sometimes even the girly sounding names, unless they say otherwise..

    there seem to be occassionas where the "fairer sex" demonstrates no qualms in portraying a certain level of inferiority..


    meanwhile the "stronger sex" seems to completely revel in it with a sense of pride...


    between the genders.. contrary to our resident feminist's belief.. there is no higher form of life..

    mazyar at least has male parts.

    As for the other one, no female would go on the Internet and admit to Master Baiting. :)
