Hey everybody! Today, 

November the Fifth, 

In the Year of our Lord Two Thousand A.D., 

I have reached tha age of Twenty Four winters!! 

The party was live ya'll!! Powerpuff Girl decorations,
Sake, and when the Exotic Dancer arrived.. 

*** AHEM ***

Anyway, I wuz thinkin, maybe we could have something
that celebrates birthdays or somethin' like that. 

Getting on with it...
---------

Me-
>> Anime is pretty safe from most
>> politicians, because the hardcore stuff is on
>> Home video. Gravy with me. 

Bard-Kun-
>Amen to that. I'm glad people haven't gone after
anime
>like they've been going after video games...

And the Alleged outcry against Videogames is total
Media inspired Doo-Doo. What's the difference between
a video game and a VCR/DVD movie?? 

Nothing. 

A kid can buy pretty much any R rated movie out there.
Movies with Nude women, bisexual scenes, and cold
blood murder are as readily availible as Hershey candy
bars. But the Media and politicians want to censor
videogames. 

Is it because the Game companies haven't made as many
campaign contributions to political candidates and
organizations as the major Hollywood studios?? that is
totally BullS**t there, IMHO. 

BTW, The reason I say "Alleged Outcry" is that the
vast majority of American consumers either enjoy video
games or really don't give a damn about them. Yet,
certain politicians and Media entities use my hobby,
that I enjoy, as a scapegoat for the world's ailments.
 

Hypocrisy is something that really makes my blood
boil!! So excuse me if I digress and start preaching! 

(^_^)

Me-
>>I would probably subscribe...
>>But NOT to see Ranma ok???

Bard-San-
>Eh? Why not? I know, Ranma is in spirit a guy,
>but...DAMN that Onna-Ranma is fine!    

** Sigh ** 

Yeah, I have to admit, Onna-Ranma is fine. And
Takahashii-Sensei doesn't help, drawing Ranma-female
in provocative poses!! (^_^) 

Have you Seen the Viz Graphic novel 15, when Ranma
trains in the Labelle France Dojo?? 

Check it, Ranma female, in GARTERS!! 

I almost blew a blood vessel. As fine as Ranma-Female
is, I feel sooo guilty ogling him, because, 

Ranma is a MAN!!! 

** Clutches his head in agony ** 

It hurts to think about it...

Me-
>> I would want to see if Nabiki got any pictures of
>> Ukyo 

Bard-
>smiles dreamily* yeah, I know what you
>mean...coveredin okonomiyaki sauce.. 

IMHO, the sexiest thing about Ukyo-Sama is her hair.
She's always rockin' that hairbow, Know what I mean?? 

The only beef I would have, I enforce this strict "No
Weapons" policy in the bedroom.

War-Spatulas do violate the Geneva arms control
agreement. I'm not into S&M!!  

*** Ahem **** 

Okay, moving on...

The Bard-
>brawlers also don't have much focus or grace.  
>he kicks my ass cuz he knows ty kwan do.

I understand what you're sayin'. 
I'm not saying to discount or Underestimate a trained
Martial Artist. They will put the hurt on boyz! 

My position is that the Previously mentioned Lack of
Focus and Grace is why a street fighter is so
dangerous. 

For example, if you're trying to throw an opponent. 

If the enemy is a Martial artist, he or she will at
least try to maintain their balance, or land in a
dignified manor. They will at least minimize the
injuries that you may cause. 

An untrained person may, if you're not careful, drop
like a rock, taking you with them. They may
accidentally fall before you're ready to throw them,
injuring the opponent more than you intended to.  
It's kinda hard to explain, but I'd rather fight
somebody with a least some training, compared to no
training.   

Actually, I don't wanna fight anyone at all. Like
Master Lee said, my style is the art of fighting
without fighting, or something like that.

To Desiree, welcome to the team!! 

To everyone else, Peace!!
