Yeah, I was impressed. I've been trying for years to get one like that on him. Looks like those carbon jobs have a nice wide impact area...

[CowextetleSix]

i'm alive.
god knows how.
maybe it was all just a beautiful dream.

[Munccoughe]

Ok, Sandra,
you need to get signed up here so you can post a pic of 'the mark of Sa Mu Justice', instead of just being a voyeur.
Does your shoulder look like Brads face after the encounter with the Bar owner yet???

The best one is where you pin his nipple between the do and your shinai..... That is one CLASSY bruise. A tsuki under the tare seems to get them collapsing pretty quick as well. It's even better if you make out its their fault because they knocked your shinai down.

[Poothevokprot]

Wonder how that bruise is doing....

here's an oddity. went to be last night with just one bruise of my own, on my forearm, between kote and elbow. awoke to find a new one, right on my wrist. i think i must've nipped down to hizen in my sleep.

the japanese girl down the corridor keeps asking to see my bokken. i feel special.

I'm starting to get concerned about the references to my sexuality/genitalia . . . perhaps I can now find out who was watching me in the showers at Mumeshi ??????

be worried, or flattered. we were discussing 'the lord of the rings' in the pub after a practice, and i innocently observed that i bet hobbits have sex by rubbing each other's hairy little feet, and that sam and frodo weren't exactly drowning in women. in my magnanimity, i suggested that perhaps gandalf should do it for them; there then followed a load of ring-centric jokes.

this has lead to a general belief that i'm sexually fixated on hobbits. since, as we know, if enough people believe something, it effectively becomes true, i've been trying my hardest to develop such a leaning, and, by god, it's worked.

as long as you keep your socks on, you're safe...

This might be good for your hand after the Jodan practise. Take one of these multivits half an hour before you wake up each morning and you'll be fine.

do they do them in time-release suppository format? then i can combine hand-relief with dirty-marmite.

suspect the sore hand was more the result of hitting various men ganes whilst running through; more in the knuckles than the fingers, and a similar feeling to the knuckles on my right hand that got a fair old twatting from a dubious kote cut.

suspect i'll need the watch that, since a punch to the face, backed up with 20-ish stone of porridge, might be seen as somewhat rude by lidstone judges and the like; don't want to give people whiplash.

i've only just noticed the 'hand-relief' bit above. two hours of student welfare cases has left me in need. time for a friday night special.

i think i must've nipped down to hizen in my sleep.

Hmm?..you practice at Hizen?

[payporanymn]

Yikes nasty bruize. Ginger trying to kill ya?

[exsmoker]

Hahahahahahahaha! [maniacal laughter] (that's three times now Timeline...)

Don't worry Pan Chan - he's my best friend and I would never do that intentionally to anyone. Beware Ginger - We come for you!

[antiggill]

Lucky for him he got a nice pint of Guinness to ease the pain!

[MartZubok]

dear readers, i keep an axe in the car for a reason:

10 PRINT"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"
20 GOTO 10
RUN

i would, under all other circumstances, take this opportunity to make an old skool british educational computers / BASIC / 'acorn' / hobbit genitalia joke, but i am, in all honesty, just too 'kin scared.

as for 'johnny', i find it curiously endearing that you have a special name for your trouser-shoto. please just kill me without bringing 'him' 'into it'.

i'm off to develop some extra strength in my left arm with 'colin', the pink suburi-oar.

[Smalmslobby]

hahah

bamboo would do that too... right?

[iOqedeyH]

just when you thought it was safe to go back in the dojo...

the series of revolting foot injuries that've kept me out of circultion for the last year, whilst far from repaired, have now settled down to just a nice stress-fracture in my left foot.

i have spent the fallow strengthening my right arm, whilst allowing my left to wither away to nothing.

colin is hungry.

my toenails are sharp.

my kit hasn't been washed since lidstone.

the stars are right. my hour is at hand.

[yK2VgoEI]

Please ask Colin not to scare the Shoshinsha, and especially ask him not to wink at them in Sonkyo.

Welcome back....

[Poeetiol]

g'day, onawable sempai. my e-mail's a little bit prescott's-secretary; is wednesday night still indigo-trannies-with-swords night at the YMCA? will try and make it along next week if i can; want to make sure my feet work before i inflict myself on a load of unsuspecting female students.

i'm a dean this year. i'm responsible for the welfare of 50 20-year-olds. at least one of them'll be a girly. i wax colin every day, and dream of what's to come.

any new lovelies at shudokan? include women in the interests of balance, obviously.

[Unonounaple]

I've been on the course suggested by Timeline for 6 months now and I have seen a marked improvement in my Nito technique. It was a bit hard at first but I gradually got used to remembering to take the tablets two hours before I get up every morning...

[Swidemaiskikemu]

The mark of a carbon fibre wielding Ginger Justice on a Sempai...
