Heh, that happens to be my favorite little icon🙂 🙂

😉 😉

How should I know if you're grinning at me😉

Re: My ultimate authority is...

I am my own master... though I suppose voting for God gets you to the same destination.

Try reshaping that statement to "there is no authority." You'll see it carries much more weight.😉

Re: My ultimate authority is...

It’s ME... though I voted for God, since they’re essentially one and the same.

Ha! Just how many different personalities are living inside your head?🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

You missed an option in your survey: "I lack any real authority."🙂 🙂 🙂

Dogs are incredibly perceptive creatures, for goodness' sake.

From an owner's perspective? Absolutely. From anyone else's? Not necessarily. It all boils down to how you train them.

Ha! As if an animal could even be considered "unfair." Since when have animals been known for their capacity for deception?🙂 🙂 🙂

They are independent, free, and carry themselves with a certain feminine pride and grace.🙂

Meanwhile, men are nothing more than sycophants.🙂 🙂 🙄

The ego is just what happens when you split an egg into its yolk and white.

Oh, please. The ego is nothing more than a sunny-side up egg. 😂😂😂🙂 🙂

This particular bear survives solely on wild berries.😂😂🙂 🙂 🙂

Austin Hayes66, where on earth did you find that avatar picture?

I have this nagging suspicion that you and Diego are both lurking here under different names, considering how similar your avatars look.🙂 🙂

Heh heh.

Heh heh.
🙂

Honey doesn't care about some imaginary, abstract concept. For honey—much like everything else in this life—the engine is driven by the sheer existence of a void that isn't even there.🙂 🙂 🙂

Ego: A three-letter word🙂 🙂 🙂

A wave of nostalgia is hitting me regarding that old thread about the "online witches."🙂

I remember my grandfather telling me these things back when I was a kid—back when I’d practically be scrubbing his feet in a washbasin just to stay in his good graces.

😲 😲
🙂

One story involved those damn little sprites twisting their heads around—specifically, snapping their necks.

Maybe those sprites were carrying brooms after all.🙂 🙂 😂😂

How can you people possibly be blind to the sheer humanity found within sword and saber combat?😕 🙂 🙂 🙂

So, you’re telling me those blades costing a few thousand bucks from "genuine steel" companies can actually be sharpened like that?

Isn't it strange... we start talking about passion, and somehow we end up discussing slaughter.🙄

Quincy:

Iaido kata is one continuous motion: drawing the blade, executing the technique, "wiping the blood," and sheathing it all at once. Your eyes have to stay locked on the "opponent." You try to rush it? Fine. One second of lost focus and you’ve lost your concentration—suddenly your finger is out of place and your hand has to grab the top of the scabbard just to keep from hitting it.

What "wiping blood" are you even talking about?😲 😲

Let them go practice with a wooden stick first.🙂

Quincy:

A high-quality katana is sharper.

Why don't you find me one like that so I can actually admire it?🙂

Maybe I'll shave once in a while too.🙂

Quincy:

It's not them, it's Karen Sanchez19.

😂

I have no idea how he managed to shoot himself in the foot like this...

If he didn't realize it, you hold a katana by the handle, for heaven's sake.🙂 🙂

I suppose he thought he was "invincible." Probably convinced himself he had some sort of "chi" or whatever pseudo-spiritual nonsense people cling to when they want to feel special.

That’s a clean cut; you could probably unspool that mess right back together in an OR.🙂

He’s actually starting to look a bit more like Bruce Lee-j now🙂 🙂 🙂

Balkanijan Pig said:Fine, let’s put Filipovic against Bakice in a public park.😂

Maybe he wouldn't stand a chance against that one-and-a-half-star "martial arts master." In 99.9 percent of scenarios, I’m betting he gets leveled by your average street thug.

That’s just not how it works...

Aikido is actually used by the Japanese police, if my memory serves me right.
