But it's a real roll and a fake knife. Hardly seems fair.
I read this as "But it's a real doll and a fake knife." Was horribly confused.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Well, what made it even more surprising is I normally suck at rolling. At least coming from a standing position. If I'm already on the ground I'm okay. I just have a lot of trouble getting my head to go below my feet. Same reason I can't dive into water.

Our wings are not tired
So I did a threadsuck and my scan for ND and I found this
I would have sympathy for ND (Noise Design! We is talking about you.) behind this, if he wasn't getting all the tall-dark-and-scrumptuous vote as it was.
Um, was there some kind of voting that I missed. If so, I think we need a group vision plan here.
Good to be back home.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You gotta earn the privilege of playing with real knives. And don't think people don't -- the part of a putative black belt test I'm least looking forward to? Defending against live knife.

Both I and the friend I was sparring with just stood there staring at each other going "I can't believe I/you just did that."
Yeah, that was the reaction.

Will they have a medic on hand to stitch you up, if needs be?

There's a fire station across the street.
The people in the last test were the luckiest ever -- a doctor (and a dentist, now that I think about it) was among the candidates. But he got knocked out, so he had to stop taking the test. Okay, he wasn't lucky, but they were, because he stayed around and dispensed emergency first aid as required. I may need to find a med student who'll be all ready to go by the time I might get to test.

Defending against live knife.
Holy cow. Didn't you tell us somebody inevitably gets cut in a knife fight?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I learned a lot of things from karate, but perhaps the best was the understanding that the part of my brain that works out physical things is nearly non-verbal -- if someone gives me instructions, what I really need is to step through the desired movement at half or quarter speed, and repeatedly, until the kinesthetic brain can think its way through without resorting to words.
That's when I realized I truly wasn't a klutz, I just had a learning disability. t knock wood To this very day, I've never broken a major bone, or for that matter delicater ones like digits and nose, et cetera. Last year when I tried curling and wiped out, the instructors were actually really impressed by how well I'd fallen.
