[kultist]

Your post doesn't make sense.

As in, I'm inbetween your significant other's legs. It's a "o hai i'm doin ur girfirned lol' joke

OOOOOOH Sorry about crashing your Bookclub, Can I stay for the closing pledge of sisterhood followed by some Operah and a theatrical rendition of the Joy Luck Club?

Please? :dark1:

Go fuck a goat you mullet sporting, moonshine drinking, incest loving, NASCAR watching piece of illiterate trailer wank.

We're discussing the finer methods of critiquing modern fiction you uncultured prole. Go fist yourself.
Also, none of us would have a problem if she defeated her opponents with superior boxing and judo.

I offer, for your consideration, if the aikidokas at your gym are getting your goat why don't you challenge them. Make it clear it's friendly. In fact,tell them it's a crosstraining exercise. But please don't "vent" on the internet over the innanities of show/book series I liked. I'm already painfully aware of them.

Haven't you got some bloke's legs you need to be laying between ?

No, its not really.And, how does that effect you ? Clearly it bothers you enough to start a "stupid" thread merely because of what someone else believes.

If he's the classic example you speak of, what does that make you considering this thread ?

That reminds me, someone should clearly try launch* a denial of service attack on rottentomatoes. Bunch of people going round trying to start up stupid discussions because of what someone beleives enough to put into their work.

*Note to MI5. This suggestion is in jest, I love rottentomatoes and would never suggest that it be hacked.

Ok, this is a humorous thread,

No, its not really.

The vibe I get from him is that he is a classic example of the small, pseudo intellectual dude who buys into the whole eastern mysticism bullshit to make himself feel better about being small and that technique will always trump meathead strength, etc. It's painfully obvious in his writing.

LOL Normally if I dont like a book I DONT READ IT. your actually pissed that one of the main characters in a SCI FI book can actually beat up the bad guys. From what Im reading on this thread you guys seem actually intimidated That a FICTIONAL girl can fight in a FICTIONAL fighting style that resembles a inefectual real world art. Dont blink at the fact there are vamipres and demons and who gives a fuck that the main male character can hurl magical chi fireballs, But OMFG A FEMALE IMAGINARY CHARACTER CAN FIGHT. What the fuck next voting rights?

GET A FUCKING LIFE.

its not just us chunners that are deluded. :ohyeah: :blob1: :jerkit2yf :XXjester:

You know that TV isn't about real life, right?

You've heard of suspension of disbelief, right?

This is a stupid thread, right?

Have you never heard the phrase 'you can make an audience believe the impossible but not the improbable'?

oh mai god!!! all my ki blast and hadouken are powerful, but I know they won't work on teh str33t cz I may destroy all the pavement, and Aikido tells us not to destroy, but love the agressor...

so next time, I'll kiss him in the mouth and while he is calling me "fagg" i can Aiki Kick Hiss Nutsack, and my str33t defense will be prfkt!!

omg.. xD

[poidog]

Yeah, that's the one consistent thing about the Dresden Files (book) series that routinely has me groaning. But the greater travesty is the Karrin Murphy character in general. An aikidoka who can physically defeat most opponents (some of whom are supernatural, i.e. vampires), has the CQB skills of an expert SOCOM operator, has a shitty temper, is physically abusive and is banging a half-demon mercenary. As much as I like the series, the whole Karrin Murphy thing always makes me want to stop reading.

Aloha, Poi

Man I feel you about having to vent over Aikido. I got told yesterday to my face that bjj wouldn't work on the street and that High and mighty aikido could take on multiple opponents.:angryfire

Of course BJJ won't work on the street...

Have you ever tried to armbar the pavement??

It's not pretty....
