I type with my nose. I'm pretty good at it now, considering how long I've had to practice. The problem is finding people to stand on a stepladder and hold the keyboard up to my face so I can type....

Will pirates show up and try to gatecrash on the ninja demonstrations? :)

I am Spartacus

Well, with everyone else gone from the face of the earth, who's going to run the powerstations? Don't count on having electricity, or natural gas if you have a gas water heater/stove top/oven. I...

Those look like "dust mites" that you find in western style beds.

I am not an instructor in any style of martial art and do not officially represent any style. All comments are my personal opinion.

I've had the opportunity to observe Shinkendo being taught first...

That was on Gord's forum site. There's a second thread with more pics here: http://aog.2y.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=1558

But if you go to page two of the thread, the pics have now been...

Seskoad. I saw that episode.

Basically there was an argument between the WhiteHouse (the President is Democrat in the TV series) and the Republicans who have the majority of seats in the US...

There are two fiction books where the main character Jebu is obviously based on Benkei, written by Robert Shea. The titles are: "Shike: Time of the Dragons" and "Last of the Zinja" (yes, it's really...

Oh good, I get to tell one of my favourite stories. The following is 100% true, it happened to me. I repeat, it is 100% true.

I'm riding my motorbike home through the Melbourne (Australia) CBD one...

Jokes aside, I have MGS2 and enjoyed it. I've thought about MGS3 but gaming isn't a high priority for me right now.

I recently bought an apartment and moved into it with almost all new furniture...

I have eaten snake once, barbequed with butter (I'm not joking). The bones were a bit fiddly to deal with. What does this new game taste like, can I barbeque it with butter and does it have many...

There was an attempt by the Minister for Police in the Australian state of Victoria to severely restrict sword ownership earlier this year. I've heard that the State government received a near record...

Mat, you mean something like this? http://ejmas.com/tin/tinart_smith_1103.html

They'd probably have to add another 5 or 6 targets considering the size of your sword Colin-san. :p :D

Back to the original topic. I remember hearing a story about two years ago involving a car driver who collided with a pedestrian. The pedestrian became embedded in the windshield of the car. The...

One theory that I've heard is that the seiza techniques were originally for wakizashi, but have been modified to be practiced with katana. I can't say how true that actually is, it's just something I...

CEB, that's just too sad for words.

My own weapon story. I ride a motorbike. I don't own a car, I don't even have a car licence, just a motorbike licence. No, the motorbike isn't the weapon. I'll...

Actually, I'd like to drag this thread back a little in terms of what's being discussed. To my knowledge, there are several different definitions for "damascus" in use (not to mention a derivitive...

Joshua, I suggest you take a closer look at that pic you posted (I know where it's from, Aoi Art's web site. I keep thinking I'll buy it because it's been for sale on their site so long). That...

I think he meant "gwai lok" (sp?) which is Chinese for "white ghost" (slang for white foreigner), but I don't know if it's Cantonese or Mandarin.

Again, talk to the instructor there and see what they say. My personal reccomendation would be to start with either kendo or iaido (pick one) and concentrate on just that for a while. Once you have a...

I suppose it depends on where you're from. I was taught that an acronym needs an apostrophe when you use an s to imply more than one. IQ is an acronym so based on what I was taught, IQ's is correct,...
