Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I didn't know you could get that high to knee somebody in the face.

Clearly, your life has suffered from a deficiency of Muay Thai fights.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

All of you Point-deprived people should find a way to watch it RIGHT NOW. It is awesomecakes.

I was super-productive this morning and am now paying for it. Our neighbor invited us ice skating and rather than risk the rink not having skates in D's size we all biked over to the shoe store beforehand and I bought him a nice pair for $20. (This place also lets you trade skates in, which is why they always have a good selection of used kids sizes. When I have more time I'll probably go there for skates for me too.) Then we biked to the rink and skated around for about an hour, then we had hot cider and lunch and then biked home. I am freaking WIPED.

Fortunately my saintly husband is going to the tamale stand to get me a molé tamale, which should restore my strength quite tastily.

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

I love that attending too. ::sigh::

Hec, Jesse's plan has women competing against men in their weight classes. Also it doesn't consider sports in which weight isn't the key differentiator.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Krav studio

This reminded me that I'm re-reading the Skulduggery Pleasant books, and the character names, though sometimes corny, tend to amuse the hell out of me.

Bad guy names: Gruesome Krav, Murder Rose, Billy-Ray Sanguine, Mevolent (no last name, that's how bad he his), Nefarian Serpine.

Good guy names: Ghastly Bespoke (he's a tailor [get it?] with scars all over his face), Mr. Bliss, Skulduggery Pleasant.

Not-sure-who's-side-she's-on name: China Sorrows.

Every time I read "Gruesome Krav," it made me giggle.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ghastly Bespoke (he's a tailor [get it?]

No. Oh, is it because of this? Whatever it is?

Look up the definition of "bespoke." t edit As regards clothing.

When DH worked for the venture capital firm that got him a bespoke suit. A little much for crawling on the ground hooking up wires, but he also did tech analysis for co's they were acquiring and needed to have the investment banker look.

Art Crawl!!!

Teppy - those names remind me of Speed Racer names! (And are therefore, totally excellent.)
