The chemtrails thread was okay, but this is much better. My favorite part was the argument that because you need faith to believe in Jesus, we should take it on faith that the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was real. I wonder if he discussed that with his pastor? Second for me are the repeated declarations that he’s done with this board. ---

Dang! I missed all the fun. All you meanies harping on the spelling and grammar and realism always alienate people before they come out with the really good stuff. You need to give 'em more rope. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > I just did a complete search of the SDMB database and I am proud to say that, except for one post, the SDMB is completely free of ingorance. This is just brilliant. What I often want to ask these conspiracy theorists, however, is _why_ I should march on Washington. Sure, i think there are secrets that the government is keeping from me, and I think the rich run the world, and a bunch of other stuff… but on the other hand, there’s good on on my table, and money left over for luxuries, and my life is pretty decent. Life would have to get a hell of a lot worse for me to consider ousting the entire federal government. But, this whole thread has been interesting all the same. ---

No, **Jeet Kune Do** _claimed_ she was the girlfriend of **Big D Ron** , so it’s hardly a coincidence she chose a name from _his_ post. Of course, why she chose something about him instead of about _her_ is still unexplained. Unless she’s also a Jeet Kune Do [del]master[/del] practitioner? That’s where they met, getting tossed around the dojo? Too much thinking. ---

If you knew about jeet kune do you would know that there is no master in jkd but again you people dont know what your talking about. Plus its not a martial arts its a way of life. . . Apparently there actually is something called [Jeet Kune Do](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeet_Kune_Do). It was started by Bruce Lee, who authorized three people to teach it. I only followed a couple of links, so I can’t tell if they never use the title ‘Master’, but they do have people who are authorized or claim to be teachers. There is much talk about it being a philosophy and an experiential process, rather than a style; so they may avoid using the title ‘Master.’ I would assume that you’d have to be a small em master in order to qualify to teach it, though.
