Pointless Announcements

Maybe neither should been seen as role models, ever.

You're also asking me for a point in the PA thread, you know.

 

Everybody wants to justify their crap.

I hear Putin is a popular guy with Russian men (and maybe women) right now, too.

 

Hahaha... all that shirtless horseback action.

 

Why does shirtless horseback action sound kinda sexy? Oh wait, sexual tension!

 

I'm waiting for Mr. Putin to be featured on the cover of a Harlequin romance novel...

 

You know what would beat all? If @Cynthetiq was actually some closet Wing Chun master and schooled everybody.

 

Dunno what you guys do, but we were taught to elbow obvious punches.

 

And available shins from slow kicks.

 

Hm, probably. What I did/do: For low kicks either a) raise leg to avoid, 2) use kneecaps to counter, or 3) pre-empt with straight kick to the moving thigh. Kicks to the body either a) raise leg to counter with kneecaps, or b) avoid by "carrying" the leg with your hand. For high kicks usually either a) move back to avoid, b) put glove on your ear for less damage, c) counter with elbow, or d) move in with punch to pre-empt.

I guess you could elbow shins on slow kicks, but I've never explored it so my movement would be way off and I'd probably hurt my elbow.

 

Apparently, I am amazing.
I needed to hear that today

 

Are you writing.... book reports?

Have I mentioned how fantastic @noodle is yet?

 

That, GM, is why they call it research. Brings back so many memories. The hardest thing is to train yourself to look past that stuff. It can be incredibly frustrating.

I remember the first time I heard that only about 1 out of 10,000 candidate compounds ever becomes a drug. And I was still crazy enough to go into pharma R&D. Must be something about scientists.

Good luck the next time! It'll work out eventually.
