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

I'm still stuck on the part where he defeats earthworms with words and his fists breathe. Next thing he'll be going through the desert on a horse with no name.

Because books.

Next thing he'll be going through the desert on a horse with no name.

Oh man, I almost choked on my tea.

Earthworm is a really underused insult, too. Although "Earthworms and blow!" doesn't have the same ring to it.

I like the end, with the marching up the steps of justice and everything.

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

That just reeks of so much cocaine.

if they wind up in my octagon.

C'mon...Chuck Norris in The Octagon.

I do like the one sentence IMDB summary: "A martial artist must defeat a plan by ninjas to create a worldwide training camp for terrorists."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

DebetEsse says it could be an Ultimate Fighting reference. Their fighting ring is the Octagon.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

DebetEsse says it could be an Ultimate Fighting reference. Their fighting ring is the Octagon.

That occurred to me belatedly, but it amuses me so much as a random reference that I can't give him Ultimate Fighting credit.

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

It's the most sensical part of the raving.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Aw, man, earthworms are great! Though they aren't going to do a lot against fire-breathing fists, it's true. But they can say "I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast" and mean it literally, so that might be menacing.

Coke binges really do mean never thinking it's time to shut up, don't they?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I do like the one sentence IMDB summary: "A martial artist must defeat a plan by ninjas to create a worldwide training camp for terrorists."

Now I want to see a movie where a martial artist must defeat a plan by terrorists to create a worldwide training camp for ninjas.

Or where a terrorist defeats a plan by ninjas to train a martial artist.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That`s...I don`t even know what to say to all that. I could try yelling hookers and blow? My absolute favorite part is "fire-breathing fists."
