I wouldn't call it anything with athlete in it though.

Some of the guys at the tournament were in tears when they realized they were beat by a chick gamer.

Good, what a bunch of pansies.

Shut up, I had some doritos seasoning in my eye!

:laugh: :thumbsup:

On an added note, she was pretty attractive as well. I can't remember the magazine I saw the article in about 1-2 years ago.

They're all terrible though. My team has played GX3 (Girls Got Game) a few times and it was a complete joke... yet they still go to tournaments all over the world to compete since they are girls.

You forgot about bowling. What other sport can you drink beer, smoke, and eat junk food while playing?

As a software developer, my first thought was (quoting wiki)

Rear Admiral Dr. Grace Murray Hopper (December 9, 1906 ? January 1, 1992) was an American computer scientist and United States Navy officer. A pioneer in the field, she was one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I calculator, and she developed the first compiler for a computer programming language.[1] Because of the breadth of her accomplishments and her naval rank, she is sometimes referred to as "Amazing Grace".
