    Australian = white
    British = White
    Scottish = White
    Irish = White
    French = White
    Russian = White
    German = White
    Norwegian = White
    American = (we all know there are mostly white people here)
    South African = White (well they took the MF over)
    Rudy Ferndandez = White and Hairy

    So again, White is not a Nationality, it's a skin tone.

    Yes, but she wasn't until she met Sabas.

    Considering all the men who claim to know who is and is not a pretty boy, not only did Sabas "turn" me gay, he apparently turned them all as well.

    crandc: re your Betty White avatar -- Great quote. I've been waiting for a good time to post that (in your honor, no less). You beat me to it.

    I agree it's a great quote, but apparently it's not from Ms. White:

    A more timely avatar would be Phyllis Diller, or better, the great Helen Gurley Brown.

    Never a big Helen Gurley Brown fan. I saw a few Cosmo at other people's homes, flipped through them, was left ice cold. I did like Diller's "Homely Friendmaker". A great spoof.

    Interesting discussion, e_blazer, but no one actually debunks that it was White's quote. Just suspicion it may have come from someone else first. Whatever. I still like it and it's still true on all counts. For that matter, so is my sig.

    When I wrote that I didn't realize we were also getting legit shooting (from apparently three point range and in, and free throw line). Really excited about having him as our center of the future.

    I was thinking about this recently and realized it's a pretty deceptive statistic. In order to be 7' or taller, a player's listed height has to be 7'1.5" or more. There are very few of those in the league. Most "real" centers are 6'11" to 7'1", which excludes them from even making the threshold. Even Leonard doesn't qualify, which is a bit ironic.

    Shouldn't that question be in the Jason Collins thread?
