The Communities have reignited that odd passion of mine to have fun, write, chat with people for the sheer love of it.
The upside of the extended bear market is that some negativity will eventually burn itself out leaving people who have stuck around for the marrow of the experience... :)

I wrote this earlier as it's SuperBowl time and wanted to do a "lampoony" Community post. Here it is in all it's glory!.

Today I'm gonna delve a bit into some super duper deep historical bits about the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders! I know you've just been waiting with eager anticipation on what I'd write next so wait no longer. One of the standard Dallas looks debuted at the 1976 Superbowl. Boots, super short shorts and knotted/tied fronts were all the rage to do a killer kick. I think it's sassy, sporty and fun. This was an era of bleach and daisy dukes and sunscreen wasn't much of a thing. This new uniform was met with much fanfare and a few who thought it was just too sexual. Note to everyone, the Male football uniforms are skin tight with plenty of booty and bulges and women love to watch the butt slaps so guess the gender revolution came in all forms. Rah Rah Rah!

Soon after, ESQUIRE ran a bit on the Dallas Cheerleaders and the revolution or non revolution that hyper sexualization involving the sport means. Cheerleading is a sport, it involves countless dangerous routines where broken bones and botched backs are common place. These days there is a call for less bullshit and more pay for what amounts to being a performing hooters girl that is also a legit gymnast. op/ed
