Raisin in the sun
As I was walking down 18th Street to the gym, I passed by that familiar swarm of pink American Apparel T-shirts that assembles in Adams Morgan exclusively on Tuesday evenings: D.C.'s gay kickball team! I've seen them before, and as usual they appeared strangely well-coiffed given that, presumably, they just had their asses handed to them by the opposing team. (I'm assuming here that they've never won a game, no offense.) If only I looked that good when emerging from the gym after an hour of intense weightlifting! Actually, I do.
Moments later, I found myself on the incline bench, thinking to myself, "I hope that, one day, I'll be pretty enough to join the gay kickball team." (Not joking.) I piled on some extra plates in an effort to hasten the realization of this dream.
Augh. I am such a psycho. I don't even like kickball!
Addendum: Apparently they won!

Kickball? Bad idea. There's cardio involved, and you might start burning muscle mass.
Try bowling. It's practically sedentary, and you'll already by the prettiest by far!

Or BE the prettiest, as the case may be.
TOBY SAYS: Not when I go with my boyfriend. Not only is he the prettiest, but he almost always beats me!

well, that's not actually true. since we look very much alike, i imagine that we are therefor BOTH the prettiest in the bowling alley...and once i get my high score during the first match, i'm usually down hill from there. you are far more consistent than i.

You should consider joining the gay bowling league that I play on. Honestly, it's a fantastic boost to one's self-confidence.
Or the kickball team I'm on. It's not totally gay but there are a few of us.

We're actually two and two biatch. And we'd just kicked ass that nite.

Actually - they won! We were the team they played : (

They kick ass at flip-cup too... actually I think they're frattier than any of the straight guys in the league!

Dude,
You are a real douche bag. I know the people on that team, and they are no way close to as fem as you. Why don't you stop perpetuating your personal stereotype and put aside your bitterness toward a bunch of hot, athletic, studly men who wouldn't give you the time of day. Maybe if you ask really nicely, one of them would be happy to put his foot in your ass.

Hey, that's the Ball Busters! They are a freakin' riot. And, we play them next week. ;)
Of course, figures that the one game I'm looking forward to, I can't play in cuz of a nasty sprained ankle. Nice.
I'll be there for moral support, though. And by moral support, I mean flip some mean cups afterwards. Shyoot.
