Blondes vs. Brunettes #5 - Powderpuff #1, Saturday is the Big Day

Mark it on your calendars, Blondes vs Brunettes flag football showdown, 1PM at George Washington University, Washington D.C.  GWU's stadium is actually located at their "Mount Vernon Athletic  Complex" located in the District at 2100  Foxhall Road, a few miles away from GWU's main campus.

Sexy and exciting, what else would you expect of a blonde vs brunette confrontation, and it's for a good cause.  All proceeds support the Alzheimer's Association.

This is the seventh year of the game in Washington D.C., which is where it all started. I first attended in 2010. Check out the pics. The brunettes won the game with a last minute touchdown. Being brunettes, they were able to recruit a couple of very fast and very athletic black (and black haired) receivers who out played the blonde defensive backs, a slick move that enabled the victory.

Very clever, those brunettes.

The rules, as I understand them, allow any race or ethnicity on either side, of course, as long as their hair is correct.  I suspect the blondes are always trying to recruit some peroxide blonde black gals although I don't know if they have been successful, as the brunettes won last year as well.

If you're not familiar with this event, and I suspect most of you have never heard of it, the game is actually played in over 20 cities throughout this great nation of ours.

Now here's where it gets interesting.  Impressed as I was a few years back as a spectator, and being a Wikipedia fan, I checked to see if there was a Wikipedia article on this event and having discovered that there wasn't, I wrote one.

Neat, huh?

Having successfully written that article, I got to thinking, why not have an article about Blondes vs Brunettes?  So I wrote one of those too, but it was turned down by a Wiki administrator as not being suitable, notable, verifiable and not being encyclopedic in nature.

With that rejection, I implemented "Plan B" which was to write a scaled down version of the article and embed it into the existing Wikipedia article titled "Blond" as a new section titled "Blonde vs. Brunette Rivalry."  Ensuring that this new section was properly documented and cited with reliable and verifiable sources, Plan B worked swimmingly for about six months. At that point, the new section became so big it was actually out sizing the rest of the article and according to some of the editors, becoming a bit too salacious. Pornographic is what they said.  Who? Me?

After some heated exchanges on the "talk page" the "Blonde vs Brunette" section was voted off the island when one of the editors decided enough was enough and split the section off to an entirely independent article.

And with that, I had, in a very roundabout way, accomplished Plan A.

Curiously, I discovered that by that point in time I had made enough Wiki edits that I could write and approve my own articles; I didn't need to nominate them for administrator approval. With that power in hand, I pumped out a few more articles relating to the topic.

Enjoy.

No promises and no guarantees, but with some luck I'll be able to sneak out of the house on Saturday and get to the game.  If so, will be sure to snap a few photos and post them on the blog along with the final score.
