Save for the giantism (and a few other traits and features), I'd make a terrific and convincing woman. More on that later.

As much as I love fantasy football, I think of it primarily as a social sport - something to spice up Sundays and Monday evenings, something to shit-talk about with other people in the league. But it's not really that skill based, relatively speaking. There are aspects that require intense study and focus and the ability to prognosticate based on complex pattern-recognition, but in a lot of senses, it's a total crapshoot with limited options for enhancement or gamesmanship.

Fantasy basketball, on the other hand... whew! Tooootally different. Category leagues require more complex decision-making skills. The number of games played makes for a more interesting and gripping product. The nuance of basketball as a more individualized sport produces a dissected slide-sample that involves true skill and talent to understand, as opposed to the straight-forward arithmetic of a football points league. If you can't tell, we fielded our fantasy basketball teams this weekend and while I initially hated my draft and some of the decisions I made, I've recently fallen deeply in love with my boys. I'd go on, but I know that noooobody cares.

Anyway, I had fun this weekend and yesterday flitting about here and there in a stunning dress and a face full of expertly applied makeup, my blonde locks shimmering in the lights of Outback or wherever. But as good as I am at the role, the whole experience confirmed to me that women, as a group, are the dumbest sub-set of humans ever. Why on earth would you do that shit every day? Ugh...
