    Obviously because blowing shit up and flying through the air with awesome guns while aliens are swarming around you and killing everything within a 3 mi radius with a plasma grenade is WAAAYYYY more fun.... Duh.. You mean PRETENDING that you are blowing shit up and flying through the air with awesome guns while aliens are swarming around you and killing everything within a 3 mi radius with a plasma grenade But wayyy more fun than what???? __ My mighty steed
  2. You'll feel a slight pinch, followed by some minor discomfort This really means: "You will feel a blinding stab of sharp, searing pain followed by a pulsating throb of excruciating agony"
  3. How about PM's by cup size? __ My mighty steed
  4. Headers are irrelevant in this case. If she is sending the messge using yahoo webmail, the received header will only contain the IP address of the yahoo mail server. It wont list the computer she is actually connecting from via her web browser. __ My mighty steed

    Why not kick him out the door into the world instead of encouraging the growing trend of living every free moment in fake worlds blowing shit up and killing each other? Its a LOT cheaper too
  6. The shoes and the spiderman lunchbox I can sort of understand, but that crayon is just over the top uncalled for __ My mighty steed
  7. So thats your neighbor, and she changes lightbulbs for neighbors with her shorts unbuttoned and unzipped wearing a top like that and no bra, while you stand below with a camera taking photo's? Cant say I actually believe that Its still nice picture though
  8. Thats like asking how much a used car is on average.... It will vary greatly depending on the brands, ages, visible wear, sizes, etc __ My mighty steed
  9. I've occasionally thought about learning how to forge one just because getting a real nice, well made blade is a very expensive proposition if you want it forged, folded, and tempered in the traditional way. My hand forged iaito has a half decent blade, but shitty tsuba, menuki, and kashira. I plan to replace them at some point with better furnishings. Even finding someone that can rebuild and re-wrap the tsuka costs a ton... __ My mighty steed
  10. Very cool. I've never tried myself. Perhaps someday. I have a beautiful hand forged, folded, clay tempered katana that I use for Iai, and I have a Cold Steel katana thats a serious cleaver but is far too heavy for Iai. I'll use that if any immortals ever come looking for my head __ My mighty steed
  11. Beautiful hamon. You forge it yourself or just temper it? __ My mighty steed
  12. Hey, theres always the chance that we will end up living in a post-apocolyptic, non-technological society in which sword skills will mean the difference between living and dying! Well, one can hope, right? I train some Eishin Ryu and and Meishin Musu Ryu Iaido Very much fun, but not much use unless I happened to be walking around with my katana
  13. True. But you had best spar hard. MA training build a lot of muscle memory, also like skydiving. If you regularly train to pull your punches, when you have a crisis and no time to think you will react just like you trained. Spar. Wear protective gear. Hit hard. Dont train soft or when the time comes you will hit soft. __ My mighty steed
  14. Interesting. You just labeled something that you have no experience with as over rated. How then are you rating it? I'm afraid that your advice here, while certainly well intentioned, isn't realistic, or even true. Your belief that bullies never expect you to fight back is extremely naive. They often do expect it. If the person being bullied has no experience or training in how to throw a punch, they are far more likely to either miss completely, or if they do score, the strike will deliver no real energy to the target. It will most likely just startle (and further anger) the bully. If that one big haymaker doesn't score and do real damage, which is the most likely outcome for an untrained inexperienced kid, the person throwing it will then get the shit kicked out of them because they have NO idea how to follow it up. Life isn't like it appears on TV or in the movies. It would be nice if it was, but its not. My position and statements are the result of a lot of direct personal experience, both as one who was bulled, as the friend of people that were bullied, as one that ultimately turned the table on the bullies and put an end to it, and as one that has trained regularly and hard in martial arts for years. I'm a peaceful man. I will ALWAYS try to talk it out or even walk away to avoid a fight. Sometimes its unavoidable, though. You cant always talk your way out, and some times trying to walk away will more likely get you hurt than standing your ground. If I have no other option though, I will take the fight directly to them and knowing how to do that is critical. The one big haymaker isnt gonna save the day. __ My mighty steed
  15. I've never seen "It's a wonderful life" __ My mighty steed
  16. Guess I'm a pot smoking, sex having, race car driver then. Good thing for you mon that she isn't MY mom __ My mighty steed
  17. I used to work for a guy that had a brand new black mustang GT. It got stolen 2 weeks after he bought it. He was beside himself pissed. Anyhow, he got another one with the insurance. 2 weeks later one of my co-workers shows up with his nice new black mustang GT. Nobody thought that much about it. One night a few months later my co-worker gets pulled over for something stupid, and it turns out he has a bogus tag and registration. They trace the VIN number and guess who's car it turns out to be? Some folks are just so dumb it defies comprehension. __ My mighty steed
  18. Hey thats Jerry Shoe on the end. I jump with him at Cross Keys occasionally. Well that is until he went all 4 way on me and wont jump with us regular bums anymore __ My mighty steed
  19. Thats not what this is, dude, and its got nothing to do with her gender. Thats a pretty big (and unreasonable) assumption. This is a semi-annual fun event for all skill levels put on by the drop zone These are not your "standard" 4 way scrambles. Its just 4 way speed star. No turning points. Very low pressure. 4 folks (plus a camera person) exit a cessna one at a time and put together a 4 way star. Thats the whole dive. Shortest time wins. The staff make the teams and mix the skill levels so that there are no "all skygod" teams, and no all novice teams either. One jumper and camera person on strut. One jumper in door, 2 jumpers all the way inside. __ My mighty steed
  20. Shows what you can accomplish when you do nothing but play the guitar and eat sandwiches
  21. Thats how it is for the scrambles in Hazleton. Thats what makes them fun. You never have a team of skygods against a team of rookies. Its just plain fun. Thats why I drive all the way up there to play :-) __ My mighty steed
  22. So why does it have to be an April fool joke? Just call it a great prank and play it any time of the year. Boobies are good year round, and so is a good prank
  23. Its not just the internet, not a single reputable news source in the USA has reported on this story. __ My mighty steed
  24. Congrats! I got my A license at Above the Pocono's a long time ago I'm coming up there for the scrambles this coming Sunday Maybe I will get to meet ya
