The idea was to have a spot where the fairer sex could discuss things that go along with being a Sports Fan, and a poster here. To not be involved in team rivalry, and to have some fun, and not have guys rolling their eyes when we digress into "estorgen" territory.
The first try got closed down for some potential CS code violations. Thus, the new incarnation. So, hopefully we will have some fun here, and it will be an interesting ride.

Last I checked in over there (have to admit I did) they were debating Jessica Alba as opposed to someone else - and it was not for their complete understanding of Sabermetrics and MoneyBall.
Now we all know that Benjamin Bratt is quite informed about such things as WHIP and VORP, etc.
Also, does anyone else think that Brad Pitt has got to be the stupidest man in the world?? Beautiful, but about as bright as a rosen bag. (I hope I don't get in trouble for using baseball terms in this thread!)

Maybe there should be an old lady married thread!:P
Some of this stuff in here is lost on me.:mad:
I have always loved sports, which is kind of strange since my parents had no interest at all. I don't know where the interest came from, but it's been with me as long as I can remember.
My husband likes sports although not as much as I do, my son couldn't care less, but my daughter loves them as much as I do.:)
I love football, baseball and basketball. I have come to appreciate soccer since my kids both played it and my daughter still does.
One of the nice developments has been the end of the "Tom Girl". So many girls play a sport or two these days that I never really hear that term much anymore, certainly not like when I was growing up. My daughter can go from kicking butt in a game to coming home and doing her nails and hair! That is very cool.;)
I used to get the "test" when I'd meet a guy and the subject of sports would come up. It would start out with really easy questions like how many players on a baseball team and progress as I correctly answered question after question, until I "proved" I knew what I was talking about. I have a good mind for trivia so I usually could pass these tests with flying colors. Do you girls know what I mean?
Well I'm off to do my laundry now!:P

I am the sports junkie in my house. MLB then college basketball and football. I don't really care much about other pro sports but will watch an NFL game if I am bored. My husband had no interest in sports at all until just a few years ago. Now he watches the Yankees with me but nothing else. I think I would like hockey if I went to games but it is not a good tv sport so I pass on it for now. Soccer? :barf:
I must admit that I love being more knowledgable about sports than most men I know. :)

Soccer isn't so bad-those people are tremendous athletes. The cardio fitness to run up and down that huge field. My daughter's legs are like steel and she's only nine.
I wouldn't pick it as a sport to watch over another but I've come to appreciate it.
Now if I had to pick a sport to watch it would be NFL football first.

I used to get a lot of bad reactions from men when they found out how into sports I was. I think some men might feel threatened because traditionally some men sometimes use sports as an escape, as an interest they enjoy separate from their significant other.

That describes my household as well! This conversation took place a couple of months ago, at the end of an inning during a Yankees game:

How about just considering that guys happen to enjoy sports? My Dad loved boxing, but Mom never liked it. I'm not too sure if it was *designed* to be a separator so much that it may simply be something different amongst the genders.
About 25 years ago, Jayne Kennedy was one of the few female sports broadcasters, as sports was typically an all-male world for broadcasting. Now we've got a slew of female broadcasters on Fox.
As to intimidation, if she knows more about sports than he does, that may bother some guys. Of course, some guys will know more about sports (including different sports) than others, so it all depends on the individual.

True, my 'girl'friends would tell me that I shouldn't showcase my baseball knowledge. My 'guy'friends think it's awesome and actually come to me to talk about baseball. But then again - they're my 'guy-friends', not my 'boyfriend' . :dunno:
I do usually know more than most - even if it isn't about the Yankees. I do love the Yankees, but I am a fan of baseball.
I wish I liked other sports but I just can't get into them. I like to play other sports but not watch them. I can get into College Basketball and hockey (but only in person).

Strangely enough, I kind of use baseball in the same way. It gives me something of my very own to enjoy, and since my husband doesn't like going to MLB games (Cape League or minors are fine), I get to go by myself or with friends.
I find that I am regarded skeptically by many men who gather around to watch sports. I was at a function the other day, and the TV was on in the den to A's-Tigers. I was the only woman in there watching, and pretty much was ignored as the men tossed comments around (This was not a group of guys that were friends, either.) I didn't really care b/c I just wanted to see the game, but I do find that I am regarded as an oddity by a certain genre of men.
One of the things I like so much about this site is that there are a lot of woman posters here, which tends to create a more inclusive atmosphere. Also the moderation, but that's another story.

Does it bother anyone else that when you go someplace public to watch a game and you say that you like a player, some guy inevitably makes a "So you think he's really hot, huh?" type of comment? I used to just ignore it but now I find myself really jumping ugly on the offender.

Other person - "What's your favorite team?"
Me: "The Yankees"
OP: "Oh, so Derek Jeter and/or Alex Rodriguez must be your favorite players"

It would be difficult for me not to like sports. My grandfather coached high school football, my dad coaches college football, my oldest brother now coaches college football, and my other brother is on a football scholarship in college. Plus my brother's played basketball, and baseball through their entire lives. I basically spent my childhood going to baseball tournaments on the weekends during the spring and football games on the weekends in the fall.

That's part of the reason I like my jersey that has no name on it. Makes it less likely that people will assume I only like the team because of Jeter and A-Rod. Maybe we ladies should just all by Randy Johnson jerseys. That should prove the point that we don't just like players for their looks!

Yes! This is the vibe I got from the guys watching that TV show. And many times you have to somehow prove your knowledge before being accepted. (Posters here are a notable exception--I'm talking IRL.)

Ugh! Since when do we have to do things just to please a man? I hate when other women say that I shouldn't do something because men don't like that. Like I care? The man that I will be with will accept me for who I am. And I love sports! And nothing will change that.
I work in an environment that is completely male dominated and after big ball games the guys always come into my office to talk about it with me and ask me my opinion about plays/players. It's awesome.

This will be our fourth year together starting next week, and I know Steve will come up to me and talk about how the Red Sox are going to fix the team (as if I have any idea!) and Dennis will come to me and tell me how his Steelers are going to be fine (which I agree with) and it'll all be good, and then the game will start and we'll cheer for all our daughters out there who for sixty mintues are ferocious competitors who don't care what their hair looks like.

This will be our fourth year together starting next week, and I know Steve will come up to me and talk about how the Red Sox are going to fix the team (as if I have any idea!) and Dennis will come to me and tell me how his Steelers are going to be fine (which I agree with) and it'll all be good, and then the game will start and we'll cheer for all our daughters out there who for sixty mintues are ferocious competitors who don't care what their hair looks like. This is good stuff ladies.
Pepper, again thank you for starting this thread. It is a needed space for us ladies. Also, an old married lady thread might not be a bad idea!:)
My husband says that reasons he married me, were that I liked World War II movies, knew more about sports than any guy he knew and was the only women he ever knew that was not mad at him when he and his friends go to a Strip Club after a Patriots Game! (His friends still tell their wifes the traffic was really bad and that's why they were so late, and I ask about who the dancers were and did he see any players there, etc.)
I love Baseball, all types. I like football, and will watch college and Pro. But baseball is my first love.
My daughter loves baseball,(she is 11) and we enjoy it together. My husband knows to clear out if an important game is on. Last weekend we watched the 2004 ALCS, just to remember the good old days. She did tell me that if its not Red Sox or Yankees, it really isn't that fun to watch, but she'll come around!
Ladies, this is great. Pepper, again, many thanks.:D

Ugh! Since when do we have to do things just to please a man? I hate when other women say that I shouldn't do something because men don't like that. Like I care? The man that I will be with will accept me for who I am. And I love sports! And nothing will change that.
I work in an environment that is completely male dominated and after big ball games the guys always come into my office to talk about it with me and ask me my opinion about plays/players. It's awesome.
My thoughts exactly, if the hubby didn't like the fact that I'm into sports, he'd just have to deal with it ... and I do go to more MLB games than he does ... as for work, it's the same here, I work with all men and they're all really into football but they know how much I love baseball so if they have a baseball related question, I'm the one they come to. And every Monday, lunch has become dissect the weekend's NFL games (we've got a Steelers fan, a Giants fan, a few Redskins fans and me, a Cowboys fan so it gets interesting).

I just had to come in here. :eek: Don't know what's up?
Reason I'm in here though is kinda like the reason I wanted my wife to check-out a certain movie from Hollywood Video for us to watch last night. I was just curious about something. The movie is called "the break-up"
Movie left me disappointed some though because all I had wanted to see in the movie ... turned out to be blurry. :( :upset:
What are you doing in here Dave? And I thought you didn't really like Jennifer Aniston? Hmmm? :eek:

Yes! This is the vibe I got from the guys watching that TV show. And many times you have to somehow prove your knowledge before being accepted. (Posters here are a notable exception--I'm talking IRL.)
My fiance gave me the "Offensive Line Test" and "Fullbacks Test" when we first started talking. He soon after admitted to being very impressed that I knew more about football than he did--he played for four years, but I've been watching and learning since before I can remember. :) He never really doubted me all that much in the first place, though, since I was a known Cowboys fan in the middle of their three consecutive 5-11 seasons. :lol:
On the other hand, when I have questions about baseball, I definitely go to him as my personal baseball guru. Same with basketball.
We have some great conversations, with the exception that he has almost no tolerance for Favre-bashing unless he's been drinking. :P

True, my 'girl'friends would tell me that I shouldn't showcase my baseball knowledge. My 'guy'friends think it's awesome and actually come to me to talk about baseball. But then again - they're my 'guy-friends', not my 'boyfriend' . :dunno:
I do usually know more than most - even if it isn't about the Yankees. I do love the Yankees, but I am a fan of baseball.
I have the same issue. I even have married guys coming up to me in awe, saying they would marry me in a second if they weren't married. Where are all the single non-intimidated male sport fans!!!

Does it bother anyone else that when you go someplace public to watch a game and you say that you like a player, some guy inevitably makes a "So you think he's really hot, huh?" type of comment? I used to just ignore it but now I find myself really jumping ugly on the offender.
It sort of depends. If its about Jeter, I will start teasing them (talking about his best, ummm... features ;) but then I will launch into a diatribe about all his awards/accomplishments/stats and it usually shuts them up.
My fave is when a guy assumes that you don't know anything about sports because you are a girl. I usually "blow them away" within 30 seconds. :lol:

You have a good memory! Italy was fabulous, although they don't really like baseball there. I went 10 days without Yankee highlights (I got a little when I crossed the border to France). The men in Rome are a little out of control, although it is kind of nice that everyone thinks you are "bella." I can't picture an american man I don't know coming up to me on the streeting shouting "Ciao Bella!" and hugging me.

It's so true. A friend I and I were in a bar a few years ago and the song "Down with the Sickness" came on and I said to my friend that this was Steve Karsay's warm up song. The next to us overheard and almost fell off his chair that we knew who Steve Karsay was!
I think men are starting to come around to the idea that women do have sports knowledge though.

Let me ask you ladies a question. I used to take my dog down to New Haven for medical testing and I had to wait an hour between testing so quite often I walked him around the Yale campus. Perfectly normal young women would run up to my dog and pet him and start a conversion with me. Bear in mind, these same young women would have viewed me as some kind of weirdo if I was walking around without my dog. So, you have a dog, you are suddenly viewed as being harmless?
My advice, if you're a single guy.... get a dog and walk around a college campus.

My advice, if you're a single guy.... get a dog and walk around a college campus. True, true, true. I've known guys to borrow a dog for the sole purpose of picking up a woman.
My best friend used to tell me that I should talk sports less because I'd never get a boyfriend if I continued ... that no guy likes a girl who knows about sports ... funny, I always found it to be the opposite, guys like being able to hold an intelligent conversation about sports with a woman ... but maybe that's just the guys I hang out with. And it doesn't bother my husband, aside from fighting over who gets the sports page first (me!)
My moms friend asked me why I was watching sports, and that I should be watching the Hallmark channel (not even kidding with that) instead. I think I looked at her like this :wtf: for a few minutes. I was kind of insulted!

My mom gets into baseball, she'll join the discussion with us when we talk about it. Hockey not really since I'm the only one in the house that watches, although she went to a game with me once, and definitely not football since she hates that. She's just come to accept my obsession with everything hockey baseball football lol.

I don't have any right now. :( I desperately need some, I can't live without it. I had D&G Light Blue and got sick of it so quick, the bottle lasted like well over a year. I like Ralph Lauren Romance but I haven't had it in so long because the mall near me doesn't carry it (wtf).

Hildy, try the Lavender Dryer sachets from Trader Joes. You put them in the dryer and all of your laundry smells wonderful.
My husband keeps on talking about Nascar, I just laugh. Its sort of like the time when we were dating and he suggested we go camping.....I know camping is great for lots of people, but my idea of camping is a hotel that has no 24 hour in room massage from Raoul the Cabanna boy!

Dolce&Gabana. But my fav = Channel no. 5. I splurged on the expensive stuff in the little bottle. :D
Two things I won't do, Nascar and camping. :lol: If I don't have a bed and a shower I'm not going anywhere. :lol:
That's why my idea of camping is having an RV. You have your own bed, shower and kitchen right with you and know you are the only ones who used it. :) Not exactly roughing it but that's ok!
As for cars...I love them! I envy Jay Leno with all the different cars he could possibly want. I mostly love the old muscle cars from the 60's and 70's but I wouldn't turn down a few of todays cars if I could have anything I wanted.
No Lambourghinis for me though...strictly American cars (ok, maybe an MG like my dad used to have, but that's about it). That's weird huh?
Dolce&Gabana. But my fav = Channel no. 5. I splurged on the expensive stuff in the little bottle. :D
Never tried the Dolce and Gabana. My mom's favorite was Chanel no. 5 though. It's one of those scents that don't smell good on me though.
My favorite perfume is probably Beautiful by Estee Lauder. I don't buy it often because it isn't cheap. I did get some good deals on Ebay though, for big gift sets with full bottles and they weren't knock offs or watered down.
Only once I was disappointed by buying little sample bottles of something. But that was my fault for not knowing the sizes.
I like cheap perfume because I can have more choices.
Exclamation! is probably my favorite cheapie one.
Also, Celine Dion has a nice scent I just bought for my daughter.
And White Diamonds smells really good.
I don't even think I could do the RV thing, unless it's like some crazy RV. :lol: My idea of going away is to a hotel. :lol:

Have you done ebay for perfume? I would be afraid of knockoffs or that it would be watered down.
I have bought the new, sealed in original retail packaging perfume off of eBay with much success. Just check their feedback rating.
I can do hiking, camping, backpacking. But no RV's. For some reason, I can't do RV's at all. :lol:
Not roughing it enough? ;)

Mid-week day games Yankee Stadium. Go alone. I swear if I was not married, I would have met at least a dozen potential husbands that way by now.
I have met two guys at baseball games and they both ended up to be so bizarre (the history of my life). Of course I met one of them as we were discussing AROD's "slap" so should I have expected any better? :lol:
BTW, Muggsy - dogs get me all the time. I love them!

Weird? I know they aren't suited for everyone's style, but I have never heard them referred to as weird. What kind of RV do you mean? Some of them are nicer than some apartments.

Well, weird maybe wasn't the best choice of words. Saying they're not my style would have been better. I don't know, I've never really gotten behind the idea. I'm more of the all or nothing mentality - hotels or campgrounds or bust.
Haha, I have no idea. I don't even have a logical argument :P [/white flag]

I have those! They are the bomb!
So I think this might be a safe place to discuss a show that I dare not start a thread on: America's Next Top Model. That show is like crack, man. Today we had a girl announce she might be bi on national TV, while Tyra showed off serious booty and somebody dressed up like Donald Trump. How can you not like this?
I missed it tonight... in fact, unless I start taping it, I'm going to miss it every week until I stop working Wednesday nights. :( Don't really think the dudes at the sports desk would take kindly to my asking if we could watch ANTM. :lol: I'll see if I can remember to watch the rerun on Sunday before I try to find out what happened.
I really don't normally like 'reality' shows, but I, like most chicks, I suspect, have wanted to be a model at various points in my life, so I find the show to be interesting.

I would love to get an RV because I think we'd travel alot more.
I hate camping though-yuck! Of course, I have only been to very weird campgrounds (cheap husband) so that turned me off right away. We also didn't have the best equipment which I'm told makes a big difference as well.
I would love one of those RV's that open up into practically a house-have you seen those?

Do you mean a motorhome that has slide out rooms?
That's what we have. It's 35 feet and the bedroom and living rooms slide out so there is so much more room. Nothing like the old one we had.

Yeah that's what I mean.
That must be great. I would imagine they get very poor gas mileage, huh?
Do you ever sleep or go in back while your husband is driving? That would shorten the trip big time.

Eh, the gas mileage is better on the new one than the 1989 Pace Arrow we had. That only got like 4-5 mpg. The new one gets around 10. Not horrible considering it's around 20,000 lbs.
I'm the "co-pilot" (and sometimes I drive), so I always stay up front with hubby. I love long trips so it's never boring to me (otherwise we wouldn't be travelling this way). But the kids do sleep and play video games and watch DVDs when we are driving. And I have been known to make lunch when we are driving. :lol:

Ive got a question that might generate some more discussion...
What perfume do you ladies wear? Me- I'm a CURVE girl...original of course :) Ill use Dolce&Gabana Light blue on occasion too.
I like this question, as I am a perfume junkie - I like to wear my perfurme to my mood (or what I would like my mood to be;) ).
My top perfumes are:
Philosophy Amazing Grace (more my everyday perfume)
Dior J'Adore
Marc Jacobs Marc Jacobs
Clinique Happy
and my new obsession is
L'Occitane Neroli - I want to lick myself it smells so good :D
What does CURVE smell like? I don't think I've ever smelled it, even though I go around smelling everything every chance I get at Sephora.

I have friends who are into the RV thing, and travel everywhere, with their dogs, I have to give them alot of credit. The do seem to go to interesting places. However, for me, the call of the chilled champagne , the foot massage and all day movies, when I am not at the pool, is still my preference.:)

I intend to be an RV person when I retire. Snowbird with FL as the residence for the state tax break and NY in the summer. No space for the kid to move back home. My husband thinks I'm kidding but I could not be more serious. Hopefully he agrees to the plan. Otherwise, I'm going to miss him.

Any time I think of RVs, I think about National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. :barf:
To catch up on some of the topics in this thread:
I'm not really a perfume person. I have a bottle of Burberry Brit that I've had for a few years (i.e. if perfume goes "bad", I should probably toss it) that I'll use occasionally and I have some other stuff that isn't a name brand or anything but smells pretty, but other than that, I just can't get into perfume.
RV's? Not for me. I'm not camping on a roadtrip. Maybe for like a night in the summer somewhere with working bathrooms, but if I go away, I'm staying in a motel.
As for guys and sports -- I find they like it initially, but then seem to get intimidated if I bring up anymore than the basic what teams I'm a fan of (and they usually get scared that I know more than them). Maybe I'm finding the wrong guys :(.

You are definetly finding the wrong guys. I have yet to date a girl that knows anywhere near as much about sports as I do. I've dated a couple that are casual fans and like to go to games, but really dont know that much about the teams. The girl I'm seeing now knows nothing about sports.
If I found a girl I liked that knew alot about sports (even more then me, although that would be hard to do lol), I would be in heaven. Sports are a big part of my life and if I had something like that in common with the girl I dated, I think that would be awesome.

Of course, it could NOT be the sports thing and it could just be the rest of the stuff about me that scares them away :eek: :lol: .
But yeah, I think more guys say it than actually mean it. Most of the girls my roommates bring home are of the variety that probably don't know what a baseball is... whereas I'm sitting in the living room with my scorebook (Though I would never date my roommates because that is just wrong -- but they're pretty typical "guys").

I dont know....I truly can say that I'd have no problem dating a girl who knew as much/if not more about sports then I do. I just havent actually found a girl like that yet. If I did...I just think it would be so cool. I always have dealt with girls who fight with me about how much sports I watch. To actually date someone who would watch all these games with me?? And one who would live and die with teams like I do? That'd be sweet.

It IS great... until one of you becomes irrationally upset about the firing of the team's GM and boycotts them indefinitely.
I am talking about my fiance, who had a man-crush on Paul DePodesta. It was a struggle to get him to go to one Dodgers game with me this year, and I don't think we watched ten on TV together all season. He wouldn't even get excited with me about their run into the playoffs! We also both love the Lakers, but he's still upset with them, too, for keeping Kobe over Shaq. :o
That sounds good to me. Maybe we'll rent one this summer and go on a long cross-country trip.

Believe me, my hubby is 6'2 and needs leg room in the "restroom". It's very roomy. The kitchen set-up is great. Of course there could be a little more counter space, but I don't do a lot of cooking when we go out, we mostly cook everything on the fire outside.

A lot has changed in the RV industry over the last couple of years even. But a lot of people can be cramped.
We took our old motorhome to Florida with my sister in law, bro in law, their 2 kids, our 2 kids and our 2 dogs. No slideout rooms in that one and we managed.
Once you get to where you're going, you don't spend a lot of time inside it anyway.

:roflmao: I like the way you think. I could never co-exist with a Devils, Mets or Red Sox fan since those are the 3 sports teams I hate the most. It would just get really ugly.

Edit: 4BB, you play soccer? How impressive!
Imagine the bets you make between each other...:bad:;)
Good point! :lol:

I don't think so. My guess is that they're too busy looking at our butts to hear what we're saying.
WE'RE UP HERE LADIES!!! WE'RE NOT OBJECTS!!!
Well maybe we are.
Oh no, did someone tell you about the imbedded cameras that activate for male posters??

Anyone know what the story is with Billy Wagner? IfI were a Mets Fan, I would sure be getting that No lead is safe Red Sox Mojo everytime he comes in.

Oh sorry Hildy - I forgot I should be nicer to my female Sox friends. (it can be brutal sometimes though :P )
Yes I play in a womens league. There are 260 women on the B league and 100 or so on the A league. We have lots of MA women that play (2 on my team alone). It's a blast!!
P.S. I'm the Registrar so I'm always recruiting if you want to play!!!

Liz Claiborne makes it. From a website, this is the description:A Refreshing, Flowery Fragrance. This Feminine Scent Possesses A Blend Of Citrus, Water Lily, And Sandalwood
mmmm... Citrus and Sandalwood sounds great. Can't wait to test it out.
Thanks!

Thanks. I'm trying to psych myself up for Sunday. My first game since I've had the injury. :)
I'm impressed too! I tried to play soccer a couple of years ago on a company team. I was tired about 10 minutes into the game. So much running. And I love to jog but you aren't jogging in soccer...you're running. Wow.
What injury did you have? I have torn both of my achilles, once playing softball and once playing volleyball. I'm terrified to start playing sports again.
Any preferences on men's cologne, ladies? I'm a Hi Karate guy myself (I'm kidding, I'm kidding)
Back in the day, Pierre Cardin was THE cologne. :lol:
I still love the smell of that stuff.

You should keep trying though. You just have to build your endurance and do sprints on the side so you're prepared. There is a ton of running.
I had a stress fracture while training for the New York marathon. :( It was a solid 10 week injury but now I'm starting all over again. :(
I've never had a torn achilles. What is the recovery on an injury like that?

I don't think soccer is the sport for me but I give you mad props for doing it!
I would love to train for a marathon. I think that I might make it a goal for my 35th birthday.
Achilles injuries are a long and painful recovery. Surgery, then 6 to 8 weeks in a cast, then about 3 months of physical therapy. They say that you shouldn't play sports for 1 year after the tear. When I tore the right one, I was back doing sports about 8 months after the surgery. I'm still recovering from the left tear. I had surgery in the week between Christmas and New Years and it still isn't quite healed.

whoa. That's a major injury. And a long healing time.
When are you considering doing a marathon? I'm going to do New York next year - probably my last marathon. They have a lottery system so I'm hoping next year I get in. If you do it next fall maybe we can run together??

I'm thinking 2008. Only because my Achilles still doesn't feel great so I don't know when I'd be able to start training. How many have you done?

Hey Linda. I just noticed the Ladies Only Thread has been looked at more than 125 more times now than the Mens Only Thread. Your thread has more posts in it too!
My God! :eek: :-hide-:Now I'm helping you ladies out with your totals with this post! :doh: :giveup: I should learn to keep my mouth shut. :-shrug-: :-bye-:

Walking is good exercise too!
I jog but my jog is probably equivalent to most people's fast walks.
Plus I've gained weight because of all the injuries where I haven't been able to exercise.

mine, too... but i consider that quite a leap from my 'i will never run/jog'.
i always hated it, until i figured out that was pretty much the only way for me to lose weight...
props to 4bb - i am very impressed - 5 marathons!! very niiice!

I actually enjoy it because when I'm jogging all I'm doing is thinking about how I can't wait until the jog is over and when I'm thinking that, I'm not thinking about all the other stress in my life. It's funny because as I'm jogging, I don't really like jogging all that much, but once I'm done I feel so good.

You know I used to always run by myself but now I run with all kinds of people and it's so much fun esp when we do long distance runs. The sh*t we talk about!!!!:eek: It's a blast if you find the right running partners. :)
