Happy birthday, DebetEsse!!
I liked Holes a lot.
Thanks, Plei. Sadly, that site does not meet my friend's needs, which is a location with lots of reasonably priced pretty things. The boyfriend is all caught up in the Wedding Industrial Complex and freaking out about the thought of spending thousands of dollars. She would like to show him that hundreds of dollars is fine.
Happy Birthday DebetEsse!
I like holes too.
Happy Birthday, DebetEsse!
That strike force post and its comments miss a lot of points.
There comes a point where how hard you hit someone stops mattering. Because you're hitting him plenty hard. Does the hit land? Have you hit them somewhere effective? What did you do before the strike? After? Did they get a chance to hit you?
Weirdos.
Morning all, and happy birthday DebetEsse!
I hope I remember to take a chocolate cupcake to work today.
Happy Birthday, DebetEsse!
Happy Birthday DebetEsse!!
(Huh, have they voted on the planet thing already?)
This is really gross: I think I'm sweating out booze. I wasn't even drunk last night, although I did drink a great deal of beer. I think I smell sweet. Weird.

IIRC, the only issue where strike force really matters is the ability to kill your opponent accidentally. I bet people are killed in competitive karate almost never, whereas the history of boxing, even rule-bound, giant-gloves, legitimate-contention boxing, is littered with skull fractures, brain damage, and death. Of course, in boxing, you can win if you induce unconsciousness in your opponent; whereas competitive karate and tae kwon doe ar strictly points and knockdowns, right? So there's no incentive to cause serious injury.

My only knowledge of not-rule-bound fighting systems comes from Bruce Lee movies, but I figure that, given intent to kill, karate and tae kwon do can do the job about on par with floating like a butterfly and throwing haymakers. Probably more efficiently, because boxing is such a stand-up game, and other fighting systems endorse things like flipping your opponent on his head, and dipping your toes in his intestines.
What with all the unpacking I did from the weekend, somehow my comb has left my pocketbook. I'm going to have Hermione Hair all day.
