Abe Lincoln vs. Chuck Norris
Laughing so very hard right now...and I normally don't find these funny.
One Man Les Miserables
This guy is so incredible, I have no words.
Surreality in the Elevator
I had the most bizarre experience with a crazy woman today. I got on the elevator, this woman stared at me and said: "Do you have your umbrella?"
I gave her a blank look and she said "Do you have your umbrella for the trip to Ground Zero?" with this dead serious, irritated expression.
I stuttered a bit, with no idea how to respond and then she said "Because the rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain."
And then she got off the elevator.
Guys Rolling With Girls
There seem to be tons of debates about coed grappling, so I thought I'd add my two cents.
For the guys... (based on issues discussed on the interwebs)
1) Don't assume that because I'm a girl, I'm taking BJJ for self defense. I'm not. Like many guys, I'm doing it because it's good exercise and it's fun rolling around like tiger cubs on crack.
2) If I'm training with a guy my size, he should be training exactly the same as he would with any guy his own height, weight and experience level. If I'm working with a much bigger or more experienced guy (which is usually the case), he should roll the same as he would with any guy my size and level (ie. don't just spazz and squash but do work your technique). If something hurts, I'll tap, end of story.
3) I do not care if you grab or push on the boobs (ie. harness grip) or other "questionable" areas. Don't be afraid to get in there and use your weight. This is BJJ, shit happens and is often necessary to finish a move. I'm not going to be all oh fuck u perv! any more than you would flip out on another guy for using the same techniques. I couldn't care less where your hands go while rolling or drilling. It's a close contact sport. If I was uncomfortable with having big sweaty guys all over me, I'd be doing tennis or something, and so would you. It's only awkward if you make it.
