And you'd go home broke.

The correct answer is the Wayland Baptist University womans team that won 131 consecutive college basketball games between Nov. 7, 1953 and March 20, 1958.

And if you don't believe me, look it up.

And btw, I knew that without having to look it up....because wimmens basketball is my life.

It wouldn't be the first time. I'm impressed! Off the top of your head with the number and dates even! But, hey, wimmens basketball is your life. I understand.
I should have specified 'NCAA' - my bad. I can appreciate how they got so good. I've been to Plainview, TX, (reminds me of the desert in Iraq), and I went to a Baptist college like theirs where you couldn't drink or smoke, or (for women) cross the campus in a pair of shorts. For women there was nothing left to do but play basketball. At that time they should have still been playing half court.

Are you saying it is sexist not to enjoy, like or have any interest in woman's basketball?

Peace

Not at all. And I will freely talk about the physical differences between the two physiques of men and women athletes and their respective sports. I was referring to the spellings and slight under ahnded jokes. Which you are all free to do, I'm just deciding to with hold my own opinion on this matter.

As someone who has witnessed the horror of b;atant sexiam, I can tell you it is neither b;atant, nor sexiam.

OK. Now you have my attention. Go on ...

(I know. I'm being juvenile. But I've got today off from work, and I'm going to enjoy it. You'll only have to deal with me for a few more hours. My kids, and their spouses/future spouses, will be coming over soon, we'll go to early mass tonight, go out for some Chinese food, and take in a movie, probably True Grit. Except for the going to mass part, my Jewish friends sometimes think I'm Jewish)

This is perhaps the most passive aggressive thing I've seen on this board.

You obviously want to share and you want attention, so share away. If you're going to accuse us of sexism for this discussion, please do it and move on. Usually such an accusation would be accompanied by a quote of an actual post.

If you're referring to JR's spelling "errors," I'm sure you recognize that he's not the one who came up with that particular mispelling.

I certainly hope that everyone notes what Wikipedia said about us forward-thinking, caring and tolerant individuals who use the term "wimmen". It states that: "Writers who use the alternate spellings see them as as an expression of female independance and a repudiation of traditions that defines females by a reference to a male."

I also certainly hope that any wimmen who may have made the past mistake of taking me to task for supposedly exhibiting anti-wimmen behavior while I was actually championing their cause immediately (if not sooner) send me a written apology of no fewer than 500 words. And maybe a pair of their used panties (I may want to coach the NY Jets someday).

All of you wimmen that thought I was just your average ol' male sexist douchebag (whilst still having shapely buttocks though) oughta be ashamed of yourselves! I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore.

Wimmens Lib is my life!
