scottnshelly Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 I remember a couple years ago, i was at a new years eve party, not one of those crazy drinking ones, but we all gathered a rich friend's to play nintendo and pool. There was a lot of people that i had never met before, but we all got along well. This was in a town about 20 miles south and east of here. i used to take private lessons with a kickboxing star turned Aikido practitioner in that town. This is just a preface to this story: I ended up on a couch next to some guy that i'd never met and we were playing some nintendo fighting game. i don't remember what it was called, but it had a lot of different characters and each character had it's own style. it seemed fairly accurate, with exagerations of course. anyway, this guy is sitting there telling everyone about each of the styles like 'oh he's good, he uses Aikido. Aikido is primarily about...it originated...' After an hour or two of his talking i said 'so, you must go to Mr. Gorrell's here in town?' he said 'no, i've never done any Karate, i have leg problems.' anyway, the punchline is, he never found out that i have done a little (14 years) of Martial Arts and sat there all night making everyone believe that he was so knowledgable. Some of my closer friends that were there got the joke, most never did find out about my Martial experience...until...well that's another post. now that i've typed this, it doesn't seem as funny, but i went through the trouble of typing it, so i'll post it. anyway, i imagine that i'm not unique in this situation. how often do you guys run into this?

Kaminari Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I've got friends like that. They think they know everything from things like nintendo and movies, and I usually just laugh. They're not usually right about what they "know" because of where they get their info from, and it's hilarious listening to them describe these different MA's with such confidence that they know more than the rest of us, just from playing MK and watching cheap movies.
