And hair. Don’t forget the hair.
[sub]I came home last night to find my wife watching Terminator, just as Sarah and Reese are going under the freeway to hide. Her hair blotted out the sun…
That happened to me once (not as close to being clocked in the head, though). Displaying uncharacteristic wit, I went into a poorly dubbed kung fu movie speech.
[move mouth]
“So! You think you know kung fu. My master is Lian So, of the porcupine style. I’ll show you some real kung fu.”
Think that’s bad? Two of my best friends are hugely into “Ultimate Fighting.” You seen this? It’s some sort of no-holds-barred martial arts tournament. It’s very Chuck Norris. The ring they fight in is even called [booming announcer voice]The Octagon![/booming announcer voice]
Anyway, despite the highly apparent lameness, my friends are absolute freaks for it. They go on and on and on and on about it. “Hey, did you see that arm-bar Hoyce Gracie did to Ken Shamrock? That was totally sweet! Here, lemme show you how he did it! See, he grabbed him here, turned to the left, threw his arm around Ken’s waist, spun, tongue kissed Ken for, like, five minutes, then snapped his neck with his bare hands! It was awesome!” They’ll go on like this for upwards of an hour an a half at a time.
At this point, getting kicked in the face would be a welcome relief.
Scylla honey, if you knew me, you wouldn’t be so ready to politely decline the kung fu.
So am I, or else I’d still be single and lonely!
Well come on over and let’s see if we can fix that…
Sorry ‘bout all the flirting. My username NEVER comes up on the boards, I figured I’d enjoy it while it was still happenin’…
Yet more evidence that I’ve got a Y chromosome stashed away somewhere – I do this all the freakin’ time. 'Course, having had no formal martial arts training, I refer to my style as “mojo fu” and generally make a fool of myself when I do it. I can do some great poses though …

Dragonblink- You’re a Ninja! SWEET!!! Is it true that you guys flip out and kill people all the time.
One time, I knew this Ninja, and we were at the movies and this kid wouldn’t shut up so he kicked off his head, and then killed everyone in the room, including me, and then used his Ninja Magic to bring me back to life! I shit my pants and choked on my popcorn it was so cool.
I was recently taking karate with the wife, and the instructor, Sensei Jose (try to learn Japanese words spoken with a thick Cuban accent, go ahead, try, I dare you) was demonstrating the roundhouse kick in front of the class on his favorite demo dummy (yours truly), his foot swiped my nose enough to bend it to the right so that the wife could see it from 15 feet away. I never fliched.
