Welcome to KF, gunner! Not long at all, it's good to get to know you a bit. Patrick

YIKES. Sorry to hear that, Danielle.

Haha, that's funny, Bill. Nice use of the lyrics. In the movie Popstar, Andy Samberg plays a pop artist who came from a boy band called Style Boyz and this is one of their songs. But the Popstar album is essentially a new The Lonely Island album in the story of the character. I shared Karate Guy here for obvious reasons, haha, but my favorites from the album are Finest Girl, Mona Lisa, I'm So Humble (with Adam Levine), Should I Move? (Akon), Things In My Jeep (Linkin Park) and Incredible Thoughts (Michael Bolton and Justin Timberlake. Patrick

Belated Happy Father's Day! If you're a Dad or filling that role, hope you had a nice day. Patrick

My pleasure. Once in a long while, I'm good for something of value around here. Hahahaha. Patrick

That is very kind! Thank you for saying so (and for helping make it that way!). Patrick

Welcome aboard, Anna. Patrick

Thank you for sharing.

Hey Van, I believe this is Sirius by The Alan Parsons Project: Patrick

Thank you for the kind words, Liam, Brian, Bob, Alex, Noah and JR! Thank you for the clarifications, Bob. We definitely missed you, Noah and JR, but as you found, you were mentioned. We'll do this again. Thanks, Patrick,

A little housekeeping: this thread was started as a discussion on mean instructors, but the thread starter changed it to something else. This is why the first few posts don't seem to fit. I apologize for the trouble. Thanks, Patrick

Hey all, We just finished the KarateForums.com 15th anniversary livestream, and it was a lot of fun. I'd like to thank everyone who participated in this event. First, tallgeese for being a wonderful co-host. It wouldn't have been possible without you. Next, the guests who stopped by, including DWx, Nidan Melbourne, MasterPain, Zaine, sensei8, Luther unleashed, Bulltahr and bushido_man96. Finally, everyone who watched and participated in the chat. It was a great time. I feel the love, and I'm proud of the community that we have all contributed to. If you would like to watch the replay of the stream, please watch: Please note that it's not the most polished production, but we had a good time bringing everyone together. Thanks again, Patrick

I'm excited to talk with everyone.

Thanks Brian. You're a big part of everything we've done here over the last 10 years! I appreciate you. Patrick

Welcome aboard, Matt. Glad to have you. We don't actually even allow generic "best" martial arts discussions here. I hope you find that the community is what you're looking for. Thanks, Patrick
