"Who is Baldrick"

[Kumdo-Star]

I don't know why this person wanted to have me start this thread but he asked so.. Who is Baldrick?

[sjp]

I cant belive you fell for this... but on reflection perhaps i can.

I sure someone other myself will enlighten you on the identity of 'Baldrick', and all his individual traits.

[Berugijin]

He's the son of Robin the Dung Gatherer.

"Baldrick, you wouldn't recognize a cunning plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on top of a harpsichord singing 'Cunning plans are here again'."

[Molleke]

[Molleke]

He used to carry a turnip shaped like a shinai with him at all times.

That's correct, he's also the inventor of turnip ryu
I saw him do a "debana turnip" once

[Kumdo-Star]

[Paikea]

... your the one that told me to ask..Cunning, that was.

[Paikea]

so he's not just pull'n my chain....Why, I do believe everyone here (except that Yorkshire Lass) is pulling your chain.

[samurai999]

well geez (SJP) told me to start this thread so i did i didn't want to but i had time so..

So if sjp told you to take off your men and receive men 4x w/o blocking with your shinai, would you do it?

If they did, who could understand the jokes?

[The great I AM]

If they did, who could understand the jokes?

As long as they have a flat cap, pint of stout and a coal mine to dig, they don't need jokes,lad. By gum. Eckethump.

[crabbi]

Bwahahahahahahaha... SJP... I had no idea you were so cruel....!

This really is a 'turnip' for the books...!

[Jsummers8]

I can't stand it any more...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldrick

[Hank]

I can't stand it any more...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BaldrickThis just goes to show you how crappy wikipedia is. It doesn't even mention Baldrick's kendo career.

[kendonewbie]

NO! that website is wrong! Baldrick is the guy who goes around sending computer viruses to noobie trolls who make to many irrelevent threads and posts! Damn that site!

[Kenshi]

The chain was placed around your neck and indeed pulled.

[rottunpunk]

Baldrick is a hero.
he also invented green dont ya know

[The great I AM]

And he was a master poet.

Us from Yorkshire so have a sense of humor... occasionally...

[Mugu]

Tim

Just 4x w/o blocking cuts? pfff I'd say 4x kirikaeshi without blocking and bogu is more like it :)

Now now, you can only push a girl 2 times. You don't want to upset anyone here :cool:

Now you have to understand the special relationship that english northerners and southerners have. I'm from London shes from Yorkshire, ergo North vs South. To me, shes a northern bastard, and to her, I'm a southern ponce. It comes with the territory I'm afraid. Bloody northerners. They get everywhere. Just don't get me started on the welsh.

And I thought it was 3 times a lady. What are you trying to say?!

[sjp]

Well the cunning plan seems to have worked.
I've not seen 'Baldrick' post anything since.

[SkippyDaStudent]

Now that I get the BBC, I need to watch more Black Adder... Rowan Atkinson is hilarious.

Really? Are you sure because I seriously want to know

[crabbi]

Sorry to be picky .... but Percy invented Green....

Baldrick was the warrior poet... (!)

[sjp]

Really? Are you sure because I seriously want to know

Ah .. so Baldrick has a brother....

[Lloromannic]

But apparently no real grasp of grammer....

I take it southerners have not mastered the art of spelling. So much for London...

[KhawMengLee]

Yes....Baldric makes a cetainly memorable cup of coffee...in fact once you've tried it you'll never be quite able to say you've forgotten it.

Gibbo had his with extra sugar and cream...

[Jerott]

Ah .. so Baldrick has a brother....

Maybe my my brothers name is is Baldrick but last time i asked his name was dustin.

[Kumdo-Star]

i like your avatar it's pretty cool.:smiley:

[Kumdo-Star]

i'm not going to ask any of you about these kind of things any more a got my teachers e-mail so i can ask him when he's not so busy.

[Kumdo-Star]

So if sjp told you to take off your men and receive men 4x w/o blocking with your shinai, would you do it?

Tim well before i knew about Kumdo i used to train w/o a bogu and i always got hit so wouldn't matter. of couse i know it's incredibly dumb and dangerous to fight w/o armor but i didn't have any...

[The great I AM]

Gibbo had his with extra sugar and cream...

As much sugar as I can fit in the cup.

[KhawMengLee]

As much sugar as I can fit in the cup.

Honestly, I loved his early stuff. Blackadder was brilliant...then he went and did that Mr Bean dribble...

[Kumdo-Star]

well geez i know Mr. bean...

[Molleke]

i'm not going to ask any of you about these kind of things any more a got my teachers e-mail so i can ask him when he's not so busy.

Good idea, a good sensei knows who Baldrick is...
Be sure to ask him about Balders secret technique described in his book "Go turnip, no ryu" :wink:

[nikolaj]

this just too sad, let me put you out of your misery, THIS is baldrick.

[Mugu]

I feel sorry for his sensei for all the emails that he is going to receive...

[Flylkorean]

I feel sorry for his sensei for all the emails that he is going to receive...

I second that.
But maybe its cause hes excited. I know all people who start are excited.. maybe he'll be more less " calm " in the future..

[Kumdo-Star]

I feel sorry for his sensei for all the emails that he is going to receive...nope got it all into 1 e-mail *cough*..(bout a page and a half long)

[Kumdo-Star]

I second that.
But maybe its cause hes excited. I know all people who start are excited.. maybe he'll be more less " calm " in the future..i will as soon as we start sparring more i would looking so much foward to every tuesday!

[Mugu]

I second that.

And I hope it's not Voss sensei who is getting that, and let's hope it's not Cochran sensei either...

[Andoru]

Oh geez I just noticed this thread. Don't get me started on Baldrick. I'll write more when I come back from training.

[kendonewbie]

Actually, i was looking through the forums and found someone had already covered "who baldrick was:"

long ago, in a time before the term RBSO was introduced and before sliced bread was discovered, there was a boy. this boy was practising in the dojo one day when a hooded messenger came in and told the boy to buy bogu. he said to the boy, "your time has come to buy bogu but if you want the ultimate bogu, you must travel up Mt. Everest on one foot with 87 pounds of cranberries on your back. only then will you be the best." so because the boy had nothing better to do with his saturday, he ate a cup of rice and began his jouney up the mountain. long story short, he made it to the top. an evil dragon gaurded the legendary bogu but the boy had a harpoon gun and soon ended the fight. with his new bogu, he returned to the dojo. unfourtunately, the bogu did not improve his skill but instead, turned him into a horrible jerk! because he had no respect, he was henceforth banned from the dojo. he lived the rest of his life in a cave in the bottom of a lake on the side of a volcano in south seattle.

to this day, the bogu and the boy still remain a legend but some say on cold nights, you can still hear him yell fom the cave on the bottom of the lake in the side of a volcano in south seattle, "i'm a jerk!!"
btw: great story piggy
