Seriously, anyone who believes that all women who play or watch basketball do not have fashion sense, as judged by what the majority of people to whom clothes and appearance are important, are just ignorant. And, of course, men both gay and straight must be included in this statement as being judged one way or the other because they watch women's basketball. However, it is just as ignorant to say all gay men have fashion sense, whether they watch women's basketball or not. Some do and some don't, as they are a cross-section of society. Just as all men are and all women, both gay, straight and bi. IF someone on here is painting a group of people with a broad brush and saying they are this that or the other, they are stereotyping people, not exactly a good practice.
Personally, I did not take one bit of this entire thread from the first post as serious. Had not Crash posted such a dry, funny piece I doubt that I would have posted at all. From my first response to Fancy Daniel to my response to compsci all was sarcasm. I assumed Fancy Daniel's was also. I was not sure about what compsci was getting at. Had I not been escaping some real life responsibilities, I would not have been posting here Friday, Saturday or today.
And, really, taking time to worry about what someone else is wearing. Wow. I am concerned about people being out of work, my family keeping their jobs, and the children receiving a good public education. Sorry, if anyone was offended by my sarcastic posts but really I wonder if they did not get it or did not want to. And, of course, they could have asked me if they wondered what I meant.

I think it may be a Baylor thing with the smoke and mirrors. I went by a friend's dorm room and was chatting with a gal who was there. After about fifteen minutes I finally realized that it was my friend's roommate, who I'd met several times around campus, but I'd never seen without her paint. She was engaged to a star on the football team, and I still remember thinking that he was going to be getting quite a scare on the honeymoon, and wondering if divorces could be granted for false advertising.
