<Snip validation of Happosai's Disciples awesome number of followers>

Right on!  It is our duty to defend the master!  Unless it gets too hairy,
then we split up and make a break for it....  Just like the Master trained
us!

>I don't know about that. If Ryouga didn't have Ranma to blame he might 
>have to face the fact that his probelms are of his own making.

If Akane honestly told Ryoga that she didn't have feelings for him after
he told her how he felt, even he couldn't find an excuse to blame Ranma
for that.  Especially since he already does have some inkling of how she
feels about Ranma that he tries to deny.  She'd say "blah blah I-I love
Ranma".  Then he'd run away witha tear in his eye, never to return cuz
he'd be intercepted by Ukyo and they'd live happily ever after.  The last
thing on his mind would be getting revenge on Ranma.  Akane has priority.
He drilled her name into a boulder fer crying out loud when he was
supposed to be focused on a climactic duel with his arch rival!
The lovesick doof!

>And there we have another in my list of reasons that Ryouga is like
>Rimmer. ^_^

If you make one more Red Dwarf reference I don't understand I will be
forced to put the "big hurt" on you!  All I know is Benji sent me a
picture of a guy wearing a pigtailed blond wig! And she constantly
tortures me with Red Dwarf references!  I can't work under these
conditions I tell you!

>I doubt Ranma thinks of himself as a hero. 

Whether he thinks of himself as a hero or not, he IS the hero of the
story.  His cons aren't bad enough to classify him into the anti-hero
class of literary character(my personal fave Anti-Hero being *ahem*
Deadpool).

>He doesn't want all those chicks chasing after him at all.

But they all chase after him nonetheless.  Why?  Cuz every lady wants a
piece of the main character. The hero always gets the girls.  

>Ryouga spends night and day trying to foil everything he does.

Ryoga spends his days and nights training to defeat Ranma and reclaim his
lost honor and dreaming of him and Akane, the girl he loves being
together.  Both are self destructive forms of behavior, but to each his
own...

>Like the Shadow Lords and their contempt for the Silver Fangs. (Ryouga's
>a SL!)

What the are you talking about?!  What's a shadow lord?!  Speak "D&D" damn
it!

>Lucus is a great guy, and brilliant though the 'Berg-man is he has 
>nothing on Lucus. Spielberg makes great movies, Lucus makes modern 
>mythology.

Okay. Now I'm probably going to die a horrible flaming death.  But being
Hotnit, what the hell.  If you're talking about Star Wars being a modern
mythology...ugh.  Star Wars is a very, very cool trilogy of movies.  Nice
characters, plot, effects, you name it.  But it is really just a story of
a bunch of guys saving a princess and they all go against the evil king
and his dark knight to save all the peasants from their oppresive rule.
All you need is a pumpkin, a poison apple, and a lady in a lake, and you'd
have all the cliche' fables throughout history covered.  Of course this is
just my opinion, but Indy kicks Star Wars in the head.  

>Azusa was damn annoying. Mikado, obnoxious as he was, kind've fitted 
>into the looney Ranma-verse, but Azusa made we want to reach for a 
>shotgun. I like Ryouga enough to not want him to end up with someone 
>that annoying.

Azusa is protective and is just what insecure Ryoga would need if Ukyo
wasn't around.  A genuine sweetheart!  And like all great girlfriends,
she'd pick his clothes out for him and clean him up"real good".
Ah, nothing like being fawned over to raise a guy's self image!

[Azusa]:  You're so cute!
[Ryoga]:  You r-really think so?

>You don't know what ouzo is? How'd you pass the intelligence
>test to get onto the net? (yes, this is a joke)

Yeah. Like I would have done something about it.  You must not have
been paying attention to the constant abuse Benzaiten hurls my way.
Pack of bullies.

>>^_^ I LIKE this game! And even thought it has nothing 
>>to do with COURT, what about Kod-ouchie. ^_^

>Hey! As the founder of the LOR I'll have to...hm...well,
>actually, that wasn't that bad. All right, you can go.

That's what I said.  "Kod-ouchie"? Very appropriate....damn.

Drakli:

>This, my dear fellow, is where you are dreaming.  Cologne can take 
>apart Happy any day of the week, and a few which aren't.  

Right.  And then SHE WOKE up!  Happosai would send that old hag back to
china beaten and pantyless.

>Remember, she's not the one who goes skyrocketting from random 
>angry fists on a regular basis.

Naturally Happosai is using the momentum from his victims fist to
increase the distance between them so that he can better survey other
glomping/landing areas.  And that's comedy anyway, not a serious fight.
Fully ki'd out Happosai is the real deal, and nigh invulnerabiblell!

>I've only ever seen her lose Once, to the Catfist, and I'm not so sure
>how much of a heavy loss I want to  call it, considering that she was
>looking virtually unharmed when she gave up and headed off.

"Some folks never learn their own weaknesses, just as the horse never sees
it's face."  And boy does she have a horseface.  Now flee!  Lest I
introduce you to Happosai's Disciples newest and 523rd member, B'lal,
demon lord of the fifth astral plane!

[B'lal]:  Graaaararrr!  Happosai is the man!
[Hotnit]:  Amen B'lal.  Amen.
