Why must everyone always compare things. WHY!!!!!!!!!!!
It's always, "oh which is better" or "kumdo vs Kendo."
And whats up with the really #&$%ed up obsession with Japan. You know, I can't really escape the blame, but why? *sigh* We should just breathe. In and out. Count to 10. Listen to some Marley. Just chill. This whole nationalist pride thing is gonna get out of hand. It seems like everyone's trying to have a death grip on Kendo. It's like the precious. It's ours yes. MINE. You know, just seems like when you try to hold on to something too much, it just gets ruined. You suffocate it. It's like staring at a really bright street light. You miss all the stars behind it. Well, bad analogy but oh well. Oh please, please end the madness. I can see it now. Thousands of Tom Cruise, plastic sword wielding, anime watching psychos. I hate that movie. It SUCKS. Come to think of it, most anime sucks too. Gundam Wing was the only one I liked. That's it. I can;t take this. I'm going for a walk. At least no one owns the trees and the autumn wind. It's all so beautiful because it's precious. Something not to be owned and manipulated to serve people's sick wants.

You know, this may be an in-approptiate time to add this but, I like "Arggggg" compared to "Grrrr", they are similar but at the same time I just feel "Arggggg" has more expression.

You mean like apples to oranges?

Kendo

And whats up with the really #&$%ed up obsession with Japan.
It's an interestinging culture and history.

You know, I can't really escape the blame, but why?
You can't escape the blame? Then, what's the big deal.

We should just breathe. In and out. Count to 10. Listen to some Marley. Just chill.
Maybe you should chill.

It seems like everyone's trying to have a death grip on Kendo.
Not really. Karate and judo are more popular.

It's like the precious. It's ours yes.
Smigel good.

Oh please, please end the madness.
Nope.

Come to think of it, most anime sucks too.
No, anime is good.

That's it. I can;t take this. I'm going for a walk.
Try a short pier.

At least no one owns the trees and the autumn wind. It's all so beautiful because it's precious. Something not to be owned and manipulated to serve people's sick wants.
Except maybe tree owners.

Nope. Always thought Angel should have been killed by inserting a giant cactus up his err.."ear" though

Yep. That's called Halloween here... But when they're younger, it's more like thousands of Pumba, wielding fake orange hollowed pumpkins, candy eating psychos.

Hakuna matata.

[Kikuchiyo]

Well that puts an end to that. maybe argh is better. Oh well, time to go.

[Nishi]

Well that puts an end to that. maybe argh is better. Oh well, time to go.

I prefer "time to leave", "time to go" leaves the destination as unknown, as in "go where!?!?!" But "time to leave" does not pretend to inform us of a destination but simply states..."im leaving".

How about, "I'm outta here," "I'm Ghost," or, "I'm Swayze." ?

Though "L8er d00ds!" might go better with "Grrrrr."

[Haowen]

I prefer "time to leave", "time to go" leaves the destination as unknown, as in "go where!?!?!" But "time to leave" does not pretend to inform us of a destination but simply states..."im leaving".

It also has a double meaning, as in, "ooooh, I REALLY gotta go!"

Reminds me of those muscly fellas outside of temples in Japan. The big wooden ones. One's like saying "ah" with his mouth open, which represents the beginning, and the other's saying "ohm" or something there abouts with his mouth closed to symbolise the end. What were those guys called again...?

[Zaphiel]

i like this thraed it's so.........off topic!

why does he tell us this thing.........i wonder?
(don't like the last sentence it's really 'arggg'....does someone has a better one?)

[Tholon]

It's always better to compare things!
For example: how good is an apple? You can't tell!
But you can always tell it's more tasty than an pear, it makes you less hungry than eating a banana and an orange is richer with vitamin C.

You see, comparing gives you more answers!

[Erikku]

Although, in bed, I'd rather hear "Grrrr" than "Arghhh". Then again, it all depends what is where and who says what.

I disagree. pears are tastier than apples. Has anyone heard of pear flavored soda? It's something I've never seen.


Useless trivia:In 1989 the Pixies released the album Doolittle. But until the last moment it was titled Whore which is a word that I have always liked the sound of.

Are you comparing with a European pear or a Nashi pear?
Compared with a European pear I think Nashi pear are tastier. Is this because i am obsessed with Japan?

I've drank it plenty. ^^ If you ever happen to be in Sweden, make sure to get yourself some päron soda(Pear soda). It tastes great.


Ok. More useless information. I'm sorry. =_=;;


Oh, and about the original rant, Hai_hai basicly said everything for me. ^^

Nashi pears are indeed tasty. Still the best food ever from Japan is Pocky.

Really? Do you know any brands available in a closer place?

But pocky is good. Very good. I agree ^^.

And mysoginous. Or why else is Men's Pocky better than others? :D

[Reina]

LOL. I prefer coconut flavored pocky myself, but what a lot of people don't realize is that pocky is a very good trade item/bribing thingie. ^^ (has bribed many many friends this way(and a couple complete strangers 0_o))

I think the best Pocky is the almond flavored one. Although the Hello Kitty strawberry Pocky is also very good, and the Pocky G and the Almond Crush Pocky and the Creme Brule one and the Bittersweet Chocolate and the Marble Tea One.
In resume: Pocky is the Alpha and the Omega

So, finally, what is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

[Nanbanjin]

So, finally, what is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
If it's a European Swallow, roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles an hour.
Not sure about African Swallows. I looked it up on google.

[Erikku]

Coool... :) Now if they could only make a Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch plushie...

[nalogg]

first off, you're the one who has to listen to some bob marley and chill out.

Why must everyone always compare things. WHY!!!!!!!!!!!
Comparison is conversation stimulating.


And whats up with the really #&$%ed up obsession with Japan.
there's a difference between obsession and interest.
obsession: walking around in a hakama on the streets
interest: being able to tell that it's a hakama which that dork is wearing, and laugh at him.


Thousands of Tom Cruise, plastic sword wielding, anime watching psychos. I hate that movie. It SUCKS. Come to think of it, most anime sucks too. One thing i'd like to say is that SOME anime sucks (royally) but a lot of it is awesome.... just like any kind of artistic media you have to weed through the crap and find what you like. Personally I don't like all the cutsie "soap opera-ish" kind of anime. I prefer the stuff that's violent like (ninja scroll), visually stunning (blue sub 6, samurai champloo), or generally entertaining, strange or clever (naruto, hellsing, cowboy bebop)

As for last samurai.. i'll come straight up and say that the bad parts outweigh the good. Sure the initial samurai attack in the forest was awesome, as was the ninja invasion (SO awesome) there was a lot i didn't like.... such as having a white guy as the hero of the samurai, or the fact that tom cruise's heartthrob falls in love with the ALCOHOLIC white devil who killed her husband (as do the dead samurai's kids!?!) and now wears his armor and carries his sword. Isn't that supposed to be the GREATEST INSULT EVER????

As i heard it phrased once.

woman: "Oh white samurai I love you!"
tom cruise: "even though I killed your husband?"
woman: "he was just doing his duty..."
tom: "wow i totally respect that"
woman: "doing his duty...the same reason you hate your american captain! isn't that funny?"
tom: "yeah I guess i'm selective when it comes to which people i respect for doing their duty!"

I gave it 3 out of 5 cabbages (on a vegetable scale)

You're not quoting it right. Maddox would throw a fit.

I almost posted a link to Maddox's page, then I realised there were children on this forum. D'oh!

Well, that was a pretty odd thread. Of course I made a fool of myself again, but what's new. At least it's a forum and no one really knows who I am MUAHAHA. As for hai_hai's comment, I live in the prairies. No water, no pier. Sorry to disappoint. I don't even know why I post here. I don't do kendo. I'm a judoka actually. Meh.

If I had to make a comparison... you are like kumdo while I am like kendo.

[Hai_hai]

HELL. i mean Come on THis dude hasn't even been here for that long. Even though he has bogu on recently.(i'll give him that he can put his men on correctly and his do AND his Tare)...
