Dealing with Ignorance

[BroosterB1]

Yeah, I had one of those today, myself. I was walking to 7-11 on my lunch break to get a cup of coffee, and some dimwit drove by me, yelled "Fag!" out his window, threw a cup of soda at me and drove away. Coward. I'd love to see how he would react to me face to face, given the fact that I'm 5 foot 10 and 280. It's great how he would attack my manhood while safely driving away. I made my bruised feeling all better by going to my 1.5 hour martial arts class and learning more ways to kill people like that!

So very Zen if you......"I know at least 187 ways to kill you with out raising as much as a sweat, now be gone, you bother my sense of Karma".....That's our Nighthawk!

If you look at my intro post (about a year and a half ago), I'd mentioned that the thing that converted me to kilt wearing was the fact that the kilt was the only thing I'd worn other than my hapkido uniform that I felt I could effectively execute a face-height side kick while wearing.

You're stirring memories of Canadian fiddler Ashley MacIsaac's high kick at the end of "Sleepy Maggie" live on Conan O'Brien about a decade back - certainly one way to keep Maggie awake...

That's one of my favorite things about it as well... My uniform pants are being hemmed, so I wore my Sport Kilt to class tonight. (Yes, I wore boxer shorts.) And Brooster- I just read this thread and that post from you- that cracked me up. I actually am very zen, believe it or not. I find martial arts to be very meditative.

Oh yeah- and any kick with my teacher that goes any higher than mid chest earns you many pushups. He hates high kicks, and shows us all kinds of ways to destroy a person using them!
