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

it's simply visually hard to show talented tough guys who are little.

Being 190 of muscle and 6' isn't little. And Hollywood shows smaller tough guys all the time.

I was hunting around youtube to see if there's any of "us" on it and found this which cracks me up. I am in love with the main guy in it. In love in a way that no way threatens his wife--I just love his spirit. He got to quit a desk job to open up his own krav school in the valley and he immediately became a new person. With a blue mohawk. Fuck The Man!

The ad that will run during Fight Science.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Kathy , unless you are planning a career in retail books I wouldn't worry about it. My understanding is that you are doing this for the extra dollars. All the big book stores talk about cross training, but in all honesty - if yo9u have someone that knows SciFi , or is good at registrar sales, that's where you want to use them. Most of the independent book stores expect everyone to have a general knowledge, but really use their employees specialty knowledge.

Oh, speaking of jokes, the way I rank jokes puts this one at the top:

What did Jeffrey Dahmer say to Lorena Bobbit? "Are you done with that?"

I like brevity.

My poor brain blanked on Jeffrey's name, so I had to google it back in. For the record, "serial killer eat boys prison broom" does it just fine.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I thought the point was that advertising for the school should be based on people who don't look tough using krav maga.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

teeth or no teeth, mac has the most winning smile in the world.

DH insists today hasn't been bad, but for me it has been maddening. Beyond frustrating. I think I need a vacation from being a parent. All the little things? The third tantrum of the day (not to mention the three that come after that one)? The second puddle of piss on the floor? The fifth time the Legos get dumped in the den? Today they've ALL bugged the shit out of me for some reason.

It's not just that the guys they use look tough. It's that they're insanely tough. It's like a battle of brick walls. It's not just training that separates them from us. It's a whole lot of genetics. There are plenty of just-a-bit-bigger-than-normal work-out-a-lot guys they could use, but for some reason they skip over small, skip over normal, and go right to the beasts.

Oh, that makes sense. Am I gonna have fun watching it? Should I tivo it?

The status is NOT quo.

Kathy, I agree with Beth, fwiw.

ita, I wish that they showed the little women because it would actually motivate me to get my butt in there. The beasts intimidate the hell out of me.
