And the one that will definitely never happen because it's a bad idea, horribly unsafe, and ridiculously expensive: have a tiger/lion/panther/other large predatory cat as a pet.
If I were to do that, I'd have to go with a liger. |
Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

His Renaissance sword fighting book is awesome too.
Eh...It's not really a manual. Get the real deal by Ferro. Hell, even stage fighting manuals are more helpful than that (especially for dualing/rapier oriented swordplay). The techniques taught to actors can be traced farther into the past than that guy's book (I'm not saying to learn from that either though. Heh). |

You missed my point. I'm just saying that stage fighting is grounded far more into what "was" rapier fighting than that book is. That's how unhelpful it is. A 70 year old Christopher Lee would kick the shit out of some renfaire kid who learned from that book. He seems to treat the subject like it can be taught 1) alone 2) like it's all a matter of attacking. Much like the thousands of shitty martial arts books out there. Rapiers, out of all western fighting styles, is mostly defensive. It's 90% guarding and footwork. And almost every cut and thrust is tied into that. Not to say one couldn't win a fight by being aggressive. You could. It's just that that isn't exactly "Renaissance Swordsmanship". That's like the "Cobra Kai", but with rapiers. [EDIT] Apologies if that came off rude. It wasn't my intent. |

Can you tell us a bit about your horror show of genetic imperfections?
Flat feet, asthma, allergies to everything from feathers to corn syrup, curvature of the spine, heart murmur, and I'm blind beyond four inches. If we were still apes, I would have died a long, long time ago. On the upside, I have a killer immune system. |

I would almost have to be in a class to learn sword fighting, stage or otherwise. With physical stuff like that, I need someone watching to give me tips.

The best part about that avatar is it's ripped directly from an episode rather than being some internet loser's flash slashfic. |

Oh, sure. Everyone else here is talking about threesomes with Asians, but I mention my bad back and I'm the bad guy!  |

I just feel guilty for asking since you seem to close to death and everything. On a happy note... I love your avatar. It's very romantic.
