2008-03-05 20:04:00 Well, I'd like to share a little something with those of you that lurk around Bullshido/Sherdog/MMA.tv or any other forum, MMA/Grappling related or not.Now, I know that some of you are registered to these MA forums, but never post anything, and when you finally do, it's often to get user's opinions on something. Today, I will show you what the worst kind of Neophyte Troll is; I call his kind "The Young Donkey."I name them so because they are characterized by one really glaring trait: being stubborn about their opinions although they have no real experience to speak of. It's like these bastards evolve into the Armchair Warrior later on.Original Thread: http://www.bullshido.net/forums-/showthread.php?t=67074In today's example, this particular Young Donkey decided to ask a question about Wing Chun... then proceeded to get angry about it when the answers he received were not in line with his own opinion... So, of course, I sent him a reply: Quote: Originally Posted b...

As a rule, all of their content comes without digital rights management (so no limits on burning or transferring your tracks) and there’s no horrid propriatory software to download. Once you’ve bought your tracks, you can access them again and again through your account. Brilliant! The selection they’re offering is surprisingly good, considering they must’ve done a hell of a lot of negotiating with the Big 4 in order to secure their distribution rights. and they’re boasting quite a respectable “coming soon” list, including the superb Duffy. Last year Apple were beaten at this game by Amazon in the US, who offered a much wider range of unprotected music than iTunes Plus, also without the need to download their hideous software, but Amazon UK have been lazy,...

A Post 2000 World Series Joke-But Roger Hates The Punch Line
2008-01-08 04:31:00 There was this tour group from Texas on a Tour Of The Eternal City(Rome). There was this BIG, Somewhat Agitated Dude from The Houston Area. He wore an Oversized NY Yankees Jacket & Cap:They entered Vatican City(Citta Di Vaticana), coming onto St Peter's Square. The Tour Guide greeted Them with "Benvenutti il Piazza Di San Pietro";The Agitated Dude from The Houston Area, now in a cold sweat & 5 O'Clock Shadow, shouts @ the Tour Guide, screaming "Did I hear You Say 'Piazza'?"The Tour guide, fearfully & calmly told the Dude that "This is Piazza Di San Pietro."The Dude then grew violent. He opened a bag & threw a 98MPH Fastball @ The Obelisk. He topped it off by taking a broken bat & hurling it at the feet of The Swiss Guard Detail;20 Guards of The Detail, tackle this dude, who's now telling the Detail that "Never have I been tackled by a bunch of faeries in my life like you. I wanna see your Boss. Y'all can kiss mah arse";The Dude is dragged to the Office of The Prefect Of The Co...

I Hate It When Frank Rich Beats Me to the Punch!
2007-10-02 20:04:00 I think I was channeling New York Times columnist Frank Rich this weekend.I was really pondering the 2008 campaign, especially after getting off the conference call the Silicon Valley Moms, DC Metro Moms and Chicago Moms had with Elizabeth Edwards on Saturday.I was reflecting on the recent performance of the Democratic candidates at the MSNBC debate and had what I thought was a real pundit moment -- Hillary's run at the Presidency is reminding me of Al Gore, and not in a good way.Not because I think she'll be planting a big one on Tipper any time soon, but Hillary can be so wonky in her answers sometimes. So was Al.The "consensus" is (and SNL says!) that Hillary is a shoe-in, not only for the nomination, but the White House, as well. So was Al.I was scribbling notes furiously for what I thought would be a truly original post, my little political synapses firing away.Then, after my yoga class on Sunday morning, I settled down with my Sunday New York Times and my cup of decaf...

THE PUNCHING BAG
2007-09-13 11:29:00 by Rochelle RatnerAs a four-year-old he had a Superman punching bag. Then, when he turned seven, he pleaded for a Wonder Woman bag but his parents refused him. He wanted to punch his parents. When he was nine they gave him a heavy, professional, leather TKO punching bag. TKO: Technical Knock Out. Not one of those hanging bags that you see in gyms, but a floor model as tall as he was. A real man's bag, his father called it. And for the next month he beat up on it, then joined the Little League and lost interest. His father and older brother carried the bag to the basement. Then he took advanced science in seventh grade and decided to measure the effect water which sometimes drained into the basement had on the sand or pellets inside the punching bag. He unzipped the back. Bras, panties, thongs, and stockings tumbled out. He ran upstairs, choking with the smell. He stared at his mother.Rochelle Ratner's latest poetry books include Leads (Otoliths Press, 2007), Balancing Acts (Marsh...
Where did the punchbowl go?
2007-08-25 06:31:00 Having personally lost a small fortune in the stock market in 1999 and 2000. I can tell you that markets can stay irrational for a very long time. Any seller that has had his/her property on the market for 60-90 days and hasn't received a reasonable offer is nuts. They need to drop their price or sit out the credit crunch. The credit crunch could last many years.The big problem I see and I speak to dozens of realtors a week; is that sellers feel that their "equity" is real money. I always have to remind people that something is worth only what another person is willing and able to pay. The ability of people to pay irrational prices for homes in bubble areas is gone for the middle class market. Remember the rich are different. Working class vs asset class. The loose financing is gone. Stated loans are on life support. Real income for middle class Americans has barely kept pace with inflation the last few years. At the end of the day Wall St can create the wildest financing known to ...

What's the punchline?
2007-06-07 19:05:00 Woman Arrested for Making Faces at Dog A prosecutor has dropped charges against a woman who was arrested for staring at and making faces at a police dog. "Prosecuting a woman for `staring' at a police dog is absurd," said her lawyer. "People are allowed to make faces at police dogs and officers to express their disapproval. It's constitutional expression," said public defender Kelly Green, who represented Jayna Hutchinson. She asked Vermont State Police Sgt. Todd Protzman to take her statement but he refused, telling her she smelled like alcohol and was drunk but that he would take her statement at another time. After a heated exchange, she approached Protzman's cruiser, where his dog Max was waiting, putting her face within inches of the window and "staring at him in a taunting/harassing manner," Protzman wrote in an affidavit. "I think it was going to be difficult to prove her conduct changed the dog's behavior," Porter said. "Most of the time (in harassment cases) p...

Beaten to the Punch-Again!!
2007-06-07 00:00:00 Those of you who read this blog, have heard me rant about how most real estate agents do not understand the differences of working with typical client and a real estate investor. I've tried to give advice here and there, but Chris Smith at Equity Scout has taken the words right out of my mouth. In one post he pretty much summarized what I have been trying to do in three months. Oh well... I am not ashamed to give credit where credit is due. Chris has done an excellent job in creating a...

Razer Beats Apple To The Punch With iPod Keyboard
2007-04-03 01:25:00 Computer peripheral manufacturer Razer is probably best known for their line of high performance gaming mice, but this month they're pulling the wraps off of something with decidedly more universal appeal. That product is the Razer Pro Solutions Pro|Type, a customizable keyboard whose largest standout feature is an integrated iPod dock. For those of you keeping track at home, rumors were floating around that Apple was preparing its own iPod-compatible keyboard last November (and that it had in fact accidentally shipped several of these keyboards to consumers), but they failed to make an appearance at January's MacWorld and nothing has been heard of them since. Of course, the features don't end there. The Pro|Type also features a number of integrated buttons for volume and media control, along with several completely customizable buttons. This is not a unique feature in and of itself, but what is unique is the Pro|Types ability to make use of profiles. You can...

Better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot. Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don’t have film. Experience is something you don’t get until ...
