Which part are you being sarcastic about? The fact that there weren't many girls there? LOL
Frankly, that DOES surprise me. If I were young and single I'd love to go to M:TG to meet guys. Yeah, there are alot of losers, but there are also alot of decent looking guys in their 20s, most of them very intelligent, and most of them very lonely. Hahaha. Alot of them also win pretty decent money in those tournaments.
I'm a girl and I like to play sometimes. Maybe I am a big ole nerd, but if playing M:TG and AD&D and Ultima Online and watching Star Trek and X-Files makes me a nerd then I LOVE IT!
Too many girls are more interested in Prada and Max Factor than mythology and astronomy. I'm a girl who just likes to use her brain more. Don't get me wrong, I like designer stuff, too, but I'd dress in Wal-Mart clothes and Payless shoes every day rather than give up my nerd-hood!
