Oh yes, I was snubbed. No I wasn’t a cheerleader. They were the elite and let us bottom feeders know it.

God yes I love cheerleaders. Always have. Shaking and wiggling around in skirts! YESSSSSSSSSS! Married one.

I’ve always had a slightly comical, slightly distorted view of cheerleaders, probably because when I was in high school all of our cheerleaders were kicked off their team after being caught shoplifting at Rosauers. After that, we all learned that our beloved cheerleaders were kind of naughty.

We always voted the ego loser chics as cheerleaders. They probably had to spend $500 on uniforms/dry cleaning. Never were able to study, on the road all the time. and got impregnated by the cavemen footballers.
Hollow women.
