Heh. With teams named after bees, wasps, and the like, I always think they should go for biological accuracy. Make the women's team the Yellow Jackets and men's team the Doomed Stingerless Drones.
It's my turn to fangirl!
OMG amych is so hot.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
This talk of, 'just because The Lady Vols do it doesn't make it OK' reminds me of the Washington Redskins. WTF is up with that name? I bristle every time I hear it. Not enough to, you know, actually do anything about it but sheesh! What century is this?
On the other hand it was only recently that I found out "midget" is as bad a derogatory term as any. My edumacation never ends.

In other news, I'm glad "Flipping Out" is over. I was beginning to become obsessed with the L.A. real estate market. And Psycho Jeff...

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Just think of us as your... bra, that's how supportive we are. A big, frilly-lace, underwire, half-a-dozen stays, strapping into battle armor, anti-sag device. Also, w00t, getting married!
Love this like whoa!
Oh, I also use ladies when I'm at the juvenile hall, which cracks DF up. When they start getting too wild, I'll say, "Okay ladies, let's bring it down a notch." And it works!

DF says the appropriate terminology is "little person," but sometimes she lies.

I believe that is preferred by most little people, yes. Somewhere there is an Indian team that plays as the Whiteys, complete with Colonel Sanders-like mascot.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
According to "Little People, Big World," either "little person" or "dwarf" is appropriate, with "little person" or "LP" seeming to be preferred.

But I still say if all the other apartments were full of women, and there were 2 guys, they wouldn't make them "the boys"
there have been a few groups of males in my life referred to as "the boys". There's some friends of D's dad who live together who everybody seems to call "the boys". When we had two guy roommates sharing a room in our house we called them "the boys" (but also, "Los Hermanos" and "those dickheads"). And among my group of close friends in Chicago, a lot of the time we referred to our husbands as "the boys" especially when they were building slot cars or model rockets.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Is there REALLY? Because that would be magnificient.

That is so awesome! My siblings used to get into a fight over Chief Illiniwek (RIP) because sister said the half-time performance was a mockery of native american ritual and how would people feel if a sports team was called "the popes" and a guy in a white robe and a pointy hat came out on the field and did a mock mass. My brother said, "that would be great!"
