****NEWS FLASH******

Peace between the men and woman on the bboards has prevailed since the “merging” of the leaders of the ABL (Anti-Beret League) and the BFA (Berets For All), BritSlider and spaz119. Spaz119 traded in her towel boys and gave into the enemy and 1013shan is MIA.

Now a new resurgence has begun. Mychand and Sleepingtiger are pulling together to reform the BFA. They have received information that the ABL now has a new leader. The identity of the new leader has yet to be found. They suspect one of the following:

TemporalFlux
Blinker
Qball79
Hunter D
Chaser9
HurriKain

If you have any information and would like to support the BFA, please contact any of the ladies!

The BFA will always win out!

Mychand “amethyst beret” :o)

As anyone who's read a good deal of posts on this board knows, a recent fashion development, some might even call it a fashion crisis, has broken out. Fullscale war. And it seems to be taking a sexual overtone.

What can we, the average, nonpartisan poster do about it, you ask? Well, I'm glad you asked that question, because conveniently I have the answer. I speak for a silent majority, one who sits in horror and shock as these events take place, but feel helpless to do anything about it. Ladies and gentleman, the Beret War, which has been become a virtual battle between the sexes, needs a neutral faction. A neuter-al faction, if you will. I propose that we found that faction and nip this thing in the proverbial bud. We few, we happy few, we band of posters yearning to breathe free, must join together. For we are the world, we are the children.

Make love, not hats.

I'm dusting off the old gray beret, and am ready for action.

Lead on, oh, wise one.

You know, it won't really matter who their leader is.

I never got a beret! Oh MY. What will I do? You can't have a beretless leader? Someone help. Find me a beret!

Oh, and the rumor mill says with his recent personality change (despite actually owning one) the ABL leader is...

Chaser....

*sniff*

Chaser has a reason to be upset with women and berets? nawwwwwwww

I now announce by defection to the ABL. May the ABL forever be in power!

Berets? Feh. I prefer my fedora.

I speak the English language but I don't understand anything that is going on with this thing :). The fact that I don't get it would explain why I am not yet a part of this.

I want to join the BFA! Any color of beret will do. GA

A summary for those who are confused:

Approximatly January of 1999 Executive posted a commentary on "Net Worth." During the aforementioned commentary he mentioned the humor of two of the four sliders wearing berets. This unfortunate comment came at about the same time "The 60s" was being hyped for NBC. Several of the women who enjoyed a few seconds of JOC in nothing but a towel latched onto the berets as a seemingly inside joke (related to JOC in towel). This annoyed many of the male posters who vowed to rid the board of any mention of berets. A war broke out complete with newscasts by the ever popular Hurrikain.

In the end the leaders of the Berets For All movement and the Anti-Beret Legue (sp) found a -- er -- peaceful solution. ;-D

Recently one of the fomer BFA officers (Mychand) and a former newbie (me) decided that we had the right to flaunt our berets and a duty to share berets with all our sisters (and towels with our brothers ;-o). Thus the Beret War II was born.

I think that covers it all.

BFA baby!!!!
