Here's one I took... this womans nickname is "Chachapicante"...it's her Roller Derby girls name. Her real name is Sonja.

Cha haz attitood. And yes, she IS wearing something under there. It's just kind of "short".

Team Bacon, they sizzle!

Go Cha!
She always looks fantastic in pics and her throws are full of sass. Plus she's hella (look, you Nor-Cal'ers rubbed off on me) fun~!

Personally, I'm a lot more interested in the fact that the guy is blistering strong and an incredible athlete, and he's about to hurl a 56 pound ball of iron father than a lot of people can *carry* it.

Different strokes and all that...

...........There's a reason there aren't more athletes on X Marks.

What do you think that reason is? I think you are making an assumption you are not qualified to make. I am impressed with all the athletes at the highland games for the obvious reasons but not nearly so impressed as you are it seems. I am perhaps wrong but I have noticed a tone in your postings that squeak of arrogance. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Nah. I've got the TV remote in my hand!

Okiwen, not so much arrogance as an observation of differences. A lot of X Marks guys are all about "the clothes". Most athletes aren't. That's about the sum of it. That's why there aren't very many athletes on X Marks. There aren't too many clothes horses on the main North American athletes forum, either. A couple of us participate, but only 2-3 are active on both.

..............But you can think I'm arrogant if you want!

OK....ONE picture of me. This is from Sunday. I turned it three times, but my best was 11:30, which in that crowd only got me 6th place! Sheesh. Tough bunch of 50's!

All right, all right...TWO. But just because the ship is so pretty. This is me, lining up for a PR in sheaf, though it's so dark in the foreground that it's hard to tell.
