You know you have been doing MA too long if ;

That's just down right insulting to the individuals who put their lives on the line for their country and it's people.

So why don't you start a thread delivering a critique on the worlds Military units, I take it you have extensive knowledge and experiecne in this area?

 

I'm not sure insulting is even the right word. I am a gulf war veteran(the first one, the right one) and I would love to hear more of the reasoning behind that bile. 14 or not, I'm genuinely curious.

You know who I blame for this? Bush.

This thread is going to get very, very ugly.

 

Well what I wanted to put would violate MAP TOS.

 

Heh. Just think what that makes of the US Army if the joke among the armed forces is that the army is composed of failed Marines

Does this mean the Brits don't want our help with WWIII?

P.S. Before anyone tries to get offended by my Brit comment, I would like to point out that this post is a joke intended to mock the troll

 

Help , what with starting it or finishing it?

 

Sheesh...lady-drivers!

 

Now THAT one was rude :woo::bang: !!

 

Just a thought Sarge, I spy your atvar is still Christmas-ised.
Isn't that bad luck or something.

 

what you talkin about, crazy fool? I see no christmasised avatar...


:Angel:

 

lol

 

Anyhow.... back on track....

The mini bo theing with pencils is a definate here.

 

I got told off the other week by one of my users. I was being absent minded playing with a letter opener and got told I was making her nervous All I was doing was palming it and changing grips

 

I got a scary number of ticks on there

 

Thank the Lord....

As i mentioned in my first post, i thought it was simply me being rather mental, but it might appear that it's more or less a coomon thing for MA'ists !

*sighs releaved*

 

LOL!

nice one.

 

Ugh... I've committed atleast 18 of those before.

 

OK now all we have to do is make this mildly scientific - How long before you got your first tick and how long has it taken you to get the number you have now.

My first would have been the knife one - i did weapons work form the tender age of 18 and archery from the age of 12. i had to start doing a serious martial art aged 22 before i got my second tick so it my case -4 years before I got my first and i now have 20 ticks (after only 9 months thats REALLY BAD)

 

I did everything on that list MA is my crack :love: .

 

"when you want to say "I'm sorry" and involuntarily bow."..........often!

"Instead of walking or jogging around the store, you practice pivoting,
sweeps, stances and kicks."...........stances, yes!

"GAK! NO! The *left* side of the bathrobe goes on top...."............often!

"when you use various strikes to turn lights off and on;"..........sometimes!

"Urge to bow every time I enter or leave a room?"...........rarely!

I used to accidentally call one of my favorite professors 'sensei' with
fair regularity, and I don't think I'll ever stop saying 'hai!' instead of
'yes!'...........HAH HAH! I don't think I'll ever quit doing this!

"When standing in line you find yourself practicing some stance from your
art"...........sometimes!

"When you are introduced to someone and you bow to greet them"..........always!

"open and close doors with spinning kicks".........well, front kicks!


I had a habit of getting into bed with a front roll. I don't do that anymore since I kicked 3 or 4 holes in my wall!

 

...you show up to work dragging your left foot behind you with a black eye and nobody asks you what happened.
