uuummmmm, I don't see how this text could be considered a joke. A little role-play perhaps, but not a joke. I give you an "A" for effort however.

Ravenous--Strange, not bad Mad Dog and Glory--Quirkey, not bad Satan's Little Helper--just plain bad Expiramental Deviant Vixens 9--Strange, may be bad, dependant on viewpoint. For me?, I don't get into waste functions.

Alienware M7700 laptop with all of the fixins' that end up making it around $5,023, System Shock 2 (I know, old game for new super computer). The complete Pantera, Megadeath, Ozzy (post sabbath), Metallica (pre Black album), Judas Priest(pre leaving of Halford), and Yngway Malstein(sp??) collection. Xbox 360, espresso machine, god-like power over minions. Minions. A life.

hey, don't knock McDonald's. I worked there for two weeks and Hated it. Physically easy, yes, but the mind-numbing psychological damage you recieve isn't.

I'm 18, male (I think that is what this chart is telling me). I still don't have my license. Dunno why. Guess I don't really want one. Too much responsibility, and the insurance in NC is HORRIBLE!!! Plus I figure I'll be in training for the army for 62 weeks (ooh, and a day) and won't be allowed to ride in a POV.

My dog killed my hamster when I was nine. I found a little hamster ear at my door and a dead hamster underneath my bed. I'm sorry for your loss.

I believe that the Ethiopian kid did the proper thing. His personal honour was called into question, and he stood up to the challenge without seeking help from without (i.e.-bring friends or weapons). Fighting like that should be allowed, with no legal repurcussions (sp?)

What I did for my little brother and sister to start them out was some light gymnastic kind of stuff, teaching them how to roll, jump and roll, backwards, from being pushed all that fun stuff. Then, once they got the gist of that (I would spend about 20 min. every session doing that) We did very basic bag work (one is 4 almost five, one is , focusing mostly on form and correct placement and positioning of hands, ect. Then at the end we would have a physical contest--who can do the most push-ups, most rolls, run fastest, whatever, or I would do some free sparring, only allowing them to work on before-taught items. I don't really know what age group you're working with, but they seemed to enjoy those sessions.

To be honest, my aggresiveness depends heavily on my mood, or rather my ability to control it depends on my mood. I find that if I nice and worked up, I'm quite aggressive, though I usually do a good job refraining from doing damage. This reminds me of a time a few years ago, actually, I have a couple of tales to tell Within my first couple weeks of starting Tang Soo Do, this guy that came from some other area dropped by the do-jang to try it out (in his gi). As it happens, we were sparring that evening, and I was matched with him. The first thing he did? Some massive jumping-kicking manuever that bruised my chest and winded me. After politely reminding him that sparring that day was to be fairly light, we resumed combat. What does he do? A solid right cross onto my cheek. No blood, but a definite head-snap back for me. Luckily, my instructor saw both and switched sparring partners around so that my instructor was fighting against the new guy. New guy was horribly out-finessed. hehehe. Other story: After some boxing and MUCH advancement at TSD, we had another sparring class, and I was matched up with my instructors younger brother (he was 25-ish). He demonstrated no control (he busted my nose pretty solidly--I had a constant flow of blood), and seeing that he was a first dan, there was no real excuse for that (esp. since I was a lowly orange belt). So I resorted to boxing more and kicking less (my personal weakspot) and ended up besting him, in my humble opinion. He left with a blackened eye, darkened cheek, and swollen lip. But as my four-year-old sibling stated, he started it. Thankyou for listening to my 2:00 am ramblings

I do not know where the 'house' part of that name came from, but I can see how the 'round' bit came about. Instead of a straight front kick, you have this thing that comes AROUND from the side. I dunno. I'm tired...

I say just wear what you usually do and train in those. If you have a construction job, or like boots wear boots. I personally like these dress shoes I have. Very comfortable, as light as some of the lightest running shoes, AND has that slight boot heel. ooh-ooh, they also have a nice stiff instep and sole. Also, if you get the slightest feeling that you may get into a fight, i.e. he confronts you in a secluded area, beat him to the punch (or kick, or knee, or elbow, or...). Intimidation and aggressiveness (sp.?) win many fights.

hmmmmm....I must admit that the excessive screaming expends alot of energy, but I think I would at least be taken aback by someone doing that kind of stuff. I also have to agree that there was some regular motion, like a kata(?), as was demonstrated in the middle-ish of the video (two guys doing same attacks). As to combat effectiveness, I would think that they could beat the average person, who has little or no martial training, but against a veteran fighter who isn't intimidated easily....I dunno. I beat they have good lung capacity though.
