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

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

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.

Looks liked mixed martial arts and special ops. I'm guessing krav is special ops? Or am I hopeless out of touch?

I swear to god, I don't need another huge vet bill this month. Fuckme fuck fuck.

I'm terribly afraid there is something toxic in my apt that I did not put out and don't know about. This is goddamned ridiculous.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

A less simple explanation may be that it's simply visually hard to show talented tough guys who are little.

Bruce Lee wasn't tall.

You just put the camera at a lower angle looking up.

Plus, you get somebody as charismatic and amazing as Bruce Lee.

Could be either. The guy they're going with does MMA, but he's also former Special Forces for the IDF. So I don't know.

The beasts intimidate the hell out of me.

THEY DON'T LISTEN TO ME. I should really have a sitdown with someone about it. I think it's really important.

breakfast potatoes (which I had for dinner):

Burrell, the note from on high says 5-7, so we're not being told which ep either.

TiVo it! And come to class!

Frankie can come once she turns 5.

Thanks, y'all! I don't what it is about the bookstores specifically that screw me up--I just get involved in them like I never did at my other part-time retail gigs (the Avenue, Blockbuster), so I stress over something that is just for extra cash in my pocket.

And the managers there have told me I'm good at the register, and not just at card sales but at chatting with the customers and giving them a good final experience before they leave the store.

I love that part of the job, schmoozing with them, sometimes commenting on their purchases--I freaked out an elderly gentleman today by telling him his book on Operation Barbossa look fascinating ("You know about Barbossa?" "Yeah, I love the History Channel, especially all the failed attempts to conquer Russia. What were Hitler and Napoleon thinking?")--recommending other books and/or movies (a lady was buying a mythology book for her 10-y.o. son, and I suggested Clash of the Titans for him, which she had completely forgotten about), and just getting them to smile.

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

Krav Maga isn't making Bruce Lee movies. What I meant by visually hard was expressing a concept through either a one-sheet or a short commercial. I'm not saying that small guys aren't tough, just that advertising demands expressing complex concepts through single images.
