Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I've had the Different Strokes theme in my head for a couple of days. And I only know a few of the words. It's making me crazy.
White fonted in case you DON'T want to know them:
Well the world don't move to the beat of just one drum./ What might be right for you, may not be right for some./A man is born he's a man of means./Then along comes you ain't got nothin' but your dreams (or possibly jeans)
It takes different strokes, it takes different strokes, it takes different strokes to rule the woooooooorld. Ooooooooooooh
Blame Alan Thicke, not me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, so we soon might have 12 planets in our solar system.
Pluto would be the first of a new category of planet, the pluton.
If this goes through, we could soon have hundreds of planets (all the new ones being plutons).

OK, I apologize. Charles is not, in fact, in charge of anything.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
pluton
I have an unmeasurable love for this word. The very sound of it makes me want a pluton of my very own.

It makes me think of apricots.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've got "I Bruise Easily" stuck in my damned head.
he thought it would be unlikely that someone trained in krav maga would do MMA. I tended to agree but thought I'd ask you. I thought maybe someone trained in KM and something else might do MMA. Have you heard of any KM people doing UFC or Pride?
As far as I know, there's no one who's primarily krav in UFC or any big MMA competitions. One of my instructors was going to go that route, but he had an unauspicious first fight, and I think he's decided that age and injury are too big an obstacle.
As for why...I'm not sure. The simple answer would be that we're too dirty fighters, but I don't think that's it. Me, I wouldn't try and compete if I couldn't legally strike to the groin. So I am too dirty.
We have much less a focus on competition (read: NONE) than many arts. No forms to show off, no judged sparring, none of that stuff. We don't fight to the tapout, or give points for various strikes.
I think that's the root of it. Coup is counted, if at all, by how many people you've dropped, or how many groin protectors you've cracke, lips you've split, noses you've broken, etc.
Bas trains in krav, but it's not his main thing. He's friends with a bunch of the instructors, and is on our latest promotional video.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, I apologize. Charles is not, in fact, in charge of anything.
What if I want Charles in charge of me?
