I'd change my username to "22 feet long Penis"

cafepress blows Wander's mind

To me "real combat conditions" would be where you start the fight lying on the ground semi-conscious and bleeding and getting the shit kicked out of you, because if you get to choose where and when a fight starts, you should start it on the back of someone's head when they're not looking for best results.

True enough. Action is faster than reaction. All the would be tough guys would be better off just toning down the intensity level a bit and enjoying life. Take a walk in the park, visit a beach around sunset. That kind of thing.

Breaking stuff's a fun hobby but he's doing it all wrong. Too structured. Too much anger. He should go with the flow.

I was going to say he looked like the "OH MY GOD!" kid from Troll 2 grown up.

This guy is a b-movie character come to life.

Stars for you guys.

Except for the fact that he is a gigantic manchild and at least the kid from Troll 2 was good for something (being eaten)

Why waste a perfectly good afternoon melon beating?

I'm guessing he's either planning ahead as always, or he grew up in that house and stayed there after his parents "moved to Florida."

I never understood how watermelons got that expensive in some locations outside the states. The only way they'll be priced that is if someone's willing to drop that kind of cash for one, which seems crazy. I mean, I really like watermelon, don't get me wrong, but there's no way I'd ever spend on one. If I'm going to spend that much on a single food item, it's going to be some Kobe steaks, or a side of Ahi tuna, maybe a lobster or prime rib or a nice bottle of liquor.

There's a lot of great stuff you could get with is my point, buying a single melon seems nuts.

What is "just hang out" code for? Suddenly I feel guilty for taking for granted how affordable watermelon is in the us. God bless this country.

It's really terrible in Japan especially. Being a string of islands with a lot of mountains and heavy development anywhere it's possible to build things, there's just not space enough for something like a watermelon patch (they take up a LOT of room, I'm sure you'd guess.) It's one of the reasons melon flavored drinks, candies, and other products are so popular there.

Which brings me back to my original point: you could stock your pantry with melon flavored stuff for the price of a small, flavorless, underripe one. Who buys these things at those prices?

World class strikers break their hands often enough; it's always a possibility. The idea of "conditioning" the tiny bones in your hand for it is pretty unrealistic, but so is Aikido, which is essentially LARPing.

five for spikestoyiu calling aikido larping. i watched my muay thai instructor and an aikido "grandmaster" go at it a while ago and the only thing that was better than the aikido guy quitting after getting kicked in the knee twice was the muay thai guy asking him if he wanted to take his dress off before the match.
