TBBS and treatment of women

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Let's go, bat her up
She's taking the afternoon off

It's a beautiful day for a Bonz thread
A Bonz thread today
The mods are out to stop a flame war or two
From Walla Walla Washington to Kalamazoo
It's a beautiful day for infractions
But even a warning's okay
She's gonna cheer, and boo,
And demand more ale from you,
At the Bonz thread...today!

Baseball is like the American version of Cricket. Booooring.

The only sport I ever enjoyed was Women's Figure Skating-- which somewhat brings us back on topic.

As a native Northern Californian I shall now take this time to remind everyone who the reigning World Series champs are.

Why do I get the feeling this has something to do with your Surya Bonaly fixation?

She always scared me. Unlike some of the skaters, she looked like the type who would royally kick your ass if you messed with her.

I did like her backward flips on ice though.

yeah, but at least cricket doesn't last nine innings or more and have four place to run between.

saying that, baseball doesn't take 5 days to play...

then again, 20-20 cricket lasts only a few hours...

It is. Lacrosse FTW!

Anyway, how did this thread go from sexism to baseball?! :S

sexism=bad

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ My fault. I told a Bonz baseball joke about the Pirates.

Although if you want to get baseball linked back to treatment of women: This way...

Wow, good memory.

She's still the only one who can do that, as far as I know, even since she hurt her leg.

(sorry, you know I can never withstand a really bad pun)

As for the backwards flips - to my knowledge there are even only very few male skaters who can do them. It's always been a complete mystery to me how anyone - regardless of their gender - can jump, twist and turn in the air without losing orientation.

I know it was innocent, but you need to resurrect something less volatile than this topic. You know, something like the Black Death or the Spanish Flu.
