Why just the "Ladies" may like this? I'm a hell-of-a guy who eats his oatmeal with beer instead of milk and have several black belts (bought from Wal-mart) and once thought about beating up Chuck Norris and I liked it.

I'm not into sports at all. But who wouldn't be mesmerized by the grace, beauty and expertise of this bevy of beauties? Made this crusty old guy, wet-eyed.

Thanks to you and your wife for bringing it to our attentions!

watching a competition of American synchronized skaters and each team had 24 skaters. They also had more precision moves, pinwheel formations such that the inside skaters had to shorten their strides while those on the outside had to lengthen their strides, and moves where rows of skaters would skate between other rows going in the other direction (crossing each other in "X" formations) while each row held hands. If any of them were off, then the entire row of skaters would have fallen. While this looked good, technically they would not have matched up to any of those teams.
