Every muscle in my body is aching today - the reason? last night I did my latest grading in Ju Jitsu and I passed!!! I am now a Black Belt. But after the two hours training session beforehand and the longest grading I've ever had - it went on for nearly 45 minutes (the first move on the black belt syllabus is 25 throws of your choice from any other belt and the examiners made me do an extra 10 on top of those)- I'm in agony. My shoulders feel like they're trying to fold forcibly into my spine and my legs are clearly communicating their displeasure every time I have the audacity to stand up. But I'M A BLACK BELT!!!! That makes it worth it. |

Are you going to use your martial prowess to beat up Craig every time he insults Donnie Darko, Weber? Seriously though, congratulations! May I suggest a long relaxing bath? |

>>Are you going to use your martial prowess to beat up Craig every time he insults Donnie Darko, Weber? << I don't need to. I just tie a twinkie bar to the tail of a local cat outside his house and the poor sap near kills himself trying to climb a tree to catch it. |

They just call it Ju Jitsu. I know it's not Brazilian style but our Sensei does show us some of that from time to time. |

Thinking about it, it does say on the certifticates but they're all at home and it's a long chinesetype word with not enough vowels in it. If I remember on Monday i'll tell you |

>>Ye still a big pussy.<< I bet you wouldn't say that to his face now though. Seriously, though, very well done Weber. I once somehow managed to get a yellow belt (the very first one) in Aikido. But that was only really because I was going out with the instructor at the time. Anyway, I'd better not go into that ... |

Actually today, most people could say what they wanted to my face. it hurts too much to move. Just means I'd have to take names and addresses so I could track them down when the pain subsides. |

Weber - well done, mate. Seriously, no jibes or anything. Like Zed said, I know how hard it is to achieve. I did judo for 7 years, mind you it was as a kid/teenager. Hated every minute of it. Still, it helped me out at school. My mum used to teach karate, and watching her go through what you had to do is seriously inspiring. Congrats. PS: You are still dead wrong about Phantasm (; Sorry, couldn't help it. |
