Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story
« on: April 09, 2014, 10:33:56 AM »
I have been a student of the martial arts for many years and have always admired Bruce Lee. I would describe myself as a casual Bruce Lee fan.

I've never watched many Kung Fu movies because I find that they demean the life. And that's what it is, a life. I don't consider it a sport, art or exhibition.

It turns out that he and I had more in common than I realized. I didn't know that he made the swishing sound when he punched, kicked or turned a flip.  I never notice it while sparring or in an underground match but I have recorded myself and the swish is clearly audible . My Sensei explained that I get into an altered state and that's why I don't notice it.

Even if you don't like Kung Fu, I recommend this movie. It is really how we live.

You and VV have this in common....you both 'swish" when you move.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

VV sound was more hollow.  Almost like a woosh.  Like air blowing into a glass bottle.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Speaking of Chuck Norris.  We were talking about Chuck Norris, weren't we?  Conan O'Brien shows random Walker, Texas Ranger clips from time to time and they are funny as hell because that has to be one of the cheesiest shows ever made.  This clip made me giggle.  Love Conan's reaction.

I would appreciate your keeping your cheesy stuff out of my Bruce Lee thread. The Conan clip was even cheesier than the Walker clip. Srsly though, it all sucked.

You can keep a wooden stake in your trunk
On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
To get motel parking lot, balcony crunk.
