Etdlahq Memorial Bar - your shelter from forum crashes

My university sponsered classes for a while for teaching self defense (the student body was about 2/3rds - 3/4ths female.) Then they realized it could really hurt some one and they didn't want the liablity so they cancelled it. Wasn't TOO sad, I had learned a few good basics by then and several of the girls in class were flakes, so help me one was there b/c savete is what Gambit (from X-men) does and the instructor had started to chatter about RenFaires and quarterstaffs with a few of the SCA instead of showing us useful things (sorry, but unless I'm hiking I don't tend to carry a long stick around with me...)

It's one of the main reasons I stopped carrying a purse and just use my coat pockets to carry my wallet/keys/etc. Some one tries to grab me OR my stuff and they'll be wrapped up like a mummy with their tailbone serving for an adam's apple.
 
I used to do a karate style called Koryu Uchinadi. It is okinawan based but primarily only found in australia as the head of the style lives out here. It has spoiled me rotten in regards to other martial arts/sensei's.
Since coming to townsville i have dabbled in TKD(for fitness) some ninjitsu, BJJ, MMA, a handful of other karate styles and some wing chun kung fu. either the sensei's have seemed subpar or the style itself was just to static and boring to get into.
In Koryu in the senior classes we would get right into the core behind what it is that happens and work our way back from their. so rather than going 'yep here's a haymaker punch' THIS is how you stop it. we would get presented with a haymaker and have to decide how to deal with it ourselves. Really broadens your thinking and you then start to apply it to everything you do, even outside of martial arts.
So what i have started doing now, the last month or so, is training solo in my shed, yes bad habits can crop up training solo but i shall be vigilant and i am chatting to my old sensei to get some training tapes.

At the football last night, was fun, had some free beer and food. However when the 2 pro teams come on they had to run through a 'tunnel' made of 6 year old kids who played before the game and at half time. The kids all wanted their high fives from their football heroes. 90% of the players either pushed out the sides and went around the kids or just ignored them. I mean come on all you had to do was run with your hands out and they are your fans *insert word filter here*. are you really that much of a pompous moron you can't high five some 6 year olds.
It was the cowboys and the titans so it wasn't even like they were great teams or players there to be arrogant about. The ref's raved the day though and high fived the kiddies like the champs they are. Then again the ref's are probably starved for all the attention they can get.

It's been about 13 years since i've been to a game, super league broncos vs crushers for you ozzies, and the rules have changed dramatically apparently. WTB North queensland afl team.

Wife just came home from work in a 'sick' rage due to her stupid lying boss. blamed her for audit shenanigans that jess wasn't even there for
 
New to the bar, please pass a drink!

I eavesdropped a little on the xkcd, and wanted to post a few of my favorites:

All the Single Ladies

Parking

Students

Spinal Tap Amps

Sorry if someone already posted these, but they are absolutely hilarious!

Couldn't find the original thread about dragonball, but I used to watch it avidly. The real-action movie could have been a lot better, of course, but it was done well with the budget available.

Oy! I completely forgot my favorite xkcd!

Hmmm, knew I should have specified. Definitely a beer, preferably a homebrew. Something light, good malts and very light on the hops.

Oh, and much obliged mr. pancakeman!

You, sir, appear to have fairly good taste in beer.

Also, I'll take one from whoever's tending at the moment to tide me over for the next hour or so until I get to escape and go have a drink at your competition.

Well thank ya CG. I would be remiss if I didn't give my wife credit for helping in my ale-ducation :) How about an unfiltered blonde ale? Sounds befitting for the warm-up coming on in my locale. Time to bust out the summer beers!

Unfortunately, I type this while I am still at work with no recourse for actually obtaining and consuming said golden liquid. :thumbsdown:

Just minutes to go, then I may find my way to a refreshing taste:guiness:


 
Put mine on durf's tab, assuming he still has one? Time to go get a non-digital beverage or three.

edit: I could have done much worse things for this round-number post
 
nice number CG.

i'm currently enjoying soco and max. niiiiice. and some a-teamage.
later some painting. ahh good times
 
I've never done any martial arts, apart from "ghetto wrestling". ;)


gieb lunch, my carrot diet is making me dang hungry ;_;
 
*giebs lunch* mmmm mystery meat
 
Morning Ya'll!

It's Saturday and I'm going to have to work some, this is stupid! I'm going to tell the person that writes the schedule what an incompetent nob he is!

Carrot diet does not sound good...is that all you get to eat?
 
oh noes not the saturdays!!1
i have to work every sunday and every second saturday due to my only other butcher being on a ridiculous outdated award and my apprentice being as useful as a bag full of rocks.
 
I just called him a Nob, he said: whats a nob? I said: didn't you read the discussion in the EMB? he said wtf is an EMB? I said: Don't play dumb with me you nob!

@Nurman: Thats good, some people do some crazy things to lose weight these days. I have never actually needed to be on a diet, but I have started eating a lot healthier along with my wife lately, which is good I think.
 
nobs don't need to play dumb. thats just how they are. silly kestegs.

mystery meat is delicious.

i hate when a person asks for a 'custom' order. you explain that at this weight it will be approx this much, they go yay thats fine, then after you make it and give it to them they go OMFG MONEEEEEYZZZZZ. then they do the case ditch after you walk off. I'm pretty good now in that i can pick which ones are going to do it, it just seems that the cost doesn't compute until they see it written down.
 
Having conversations with yourself is fun, I don't know why people look at you funny!

People don't realize that your meat isn't really worth what you say it is until you show it to them? I'm not gonna touch that one...
 
Went for a nice 100 minute walk with the GF today. It's the first day of her two weeks of school. Last night we drank two bottles of vermouth and played the CSI Vegas drinking game, and watched the roast of David Hasselhoff, which was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.

It's Pimms weather, extra fruit pl0XX.
