Homenmen
Homenmen (Armenian: Հայ Մարմնամարզական Միութիւն (Հ.Մ.Մ.) English: Armenian Sports Union) is a pan-Armenian sports and Scouting organization established in 1921 in Aleppo, Syria. Its sports include football, basketball, table tennis, cycling, athletics and many other sports.
It has wide presence in the Armenian diaspora. Homenmen has established chapters in the Middle East (Lebanon, Syria, Kuwait), Europe (London, Paris), Australia, North and South Americas and more recently a presence in the Republic of Armenia.
Although not officially admitted, it is considered to be affiliated with the Social Democrat Hunchakian Party and its sports and Scouting wing. Its emblem, taken from the Social Democrat Hunchakian Party newspaper Hunchak, meaning "bell" in English, is taken by members to represent "awakening, enlightenment, and freedom."

How Many Women
by: Chess: New York Soundtrack[FLORENCE]
How many women would drive themselves crazy
By arguing over a game of chess?
Not very many -- the way things are going
There'll soon be one less!
[FREDDIE]
Don't believe you, sweetie pie --
[FLORENCE]
Listen, Freddie -- I too had ambitions
How did I get waylaid?
How can such a flower
A sensitive soul, a delicate child
Wind up as a nursemaid
Respectably set for the glittering prizes
Instead of which I landed you --
[FREDDIE]
You'll get your prizes!
I'm ninety percent of the way to the top of the heap.
[FLORENCE]
Thanks -- ten percent -- you got me cheap.
[FREDDIE]
No, no, Florence -- I mean we are ninety percent of the way --
[FLORENCE]
How many women -- articulate women
With something to shout about --
Spend their time
Playing a game in which silence is golden
And speaking a crime?
[FREDDIE]
Maybe if he moved his king....
[FLORENCE]
All of my struggles for qualifications --
My nights with Goethe and Proust
Recklessly abandoned
For you who thinks Chekhov is king to G3
And Joyce my college roommate!
But then when I show you a move you can't fathom
I have to admit it feels great --
[FREDDIE]
Great news for chess fans!
Yeah, that's how he did it -- yeah, that's how the Communist
plays!
[FLORENCE]
Maybe I deserve a raise.
