East Stroudsburg?
Meow...

No, I wouldn't complain about no photos.

[Xenalyte]

Oh, PLEASE. If they were any good, they'd be gymnasts. They should stick to CHEERING the team during games, hence the name.

[Clemenza]

Sorry, but my appreciation of cheerleading was warped a long time ago by the films "But I'm a Cheerleader" (Lefty Lesbo propaganda) and "Debbie Does Dallas" (no comment).

[Slings and Arrows]

Love the pics!

[Ummm...what was the article about?]

[Gabz]

I'm sorry - cheerleaders are there to get their teams' fans pumped up - and lead the crowd in cheers.............

DUH.

[Conspiracy Guy]

That first picture should be captioned, "Angry swarm of cheerleaders attack grassy knoll."

visual impact

I love visual impact. The more female legs, thighs, butts and tits the better. Hey, I'm just a 16 year old male trapped in a 53 year old body.

[Darksheare]

Hey, I AM the grassy knoll.. wait a minute..
Umm..
On second thought, I won't complain.

I guess Texas A&M's yell leaders won't be in this competition (thank goodness!). The tea sips in Austin, however, might be another story.

Gig 'em, AGGIES!

I guess Texas A&M's yell leaders won't be in this competition (thank goodness!). The tea sips in Austin, however, might be another story.

If some people have their way, we won't have yell leaders much longer. We already have the A&M "Dance Team" that preforms at all the basketball games. Somehow I have a felling it won't be too long before they replace our Yell Leaders at every type of game.

God! How I depise these self-absorbed bozoes. In high school, about a thousand years ago, we cheered..no..we roared at the other side.

Now, nobody gives a cr*p about it. Silly gymnastics on the sidelines are at best ignorable. At the worst, it has become a dare-devil show.

[Larry Lucido]

I'm not commenting on Debbie either, but Dallas and cheerleaders certainly go together.

[BradyLS]

Hmmm. What about team gymnatsics with cheers?

[steplock]

...all-star gyms tend to have an intense, almost Soviet, approach to training...

Gee --- I wonder why?


"Gentlemen, Comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about glasnost and perestroika and democracy in the coming years. These are primarily for outward consumption. There will be no significant internal change within the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep".

--- Mikhail Gorbachev, President of the Soviet Union, to the Politburo in Nov 1987.

New Caption; "Swarm of cheerleaders attack Darksheare who was later pronounced ecstatic at a local hospital". Film at 11.

[Darksheare]

LOL!
"They were happy to see me! They REALLY were!"

[lavrenti]

I was never interested in cheerleaders, though I did date a majorette from one of Houston's big high schools. People at the time were more impressed with that than with her Masters.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Get some CheerOff. CheerOff prevents unwanted attacks by those pesky swarms of Cheerleaders! Well you probably want some CheerOn which has the opposite effect.

I have Cheerios for breakfast. Cheerios allow me to decide. Fair and balanced
