Re: Sense of Humor: Man, remember my meltdown at CAMPS? Good thing Ray spirited me away to Dunkin' Donuts when he did...yikes

Re: Ruination: My methods are subtle, iresprite-san. There is no way for you to prepare for the smack-down which will ultimately land like the foundling baby Moses on your doorstep. Punk.

Ahhhh, iresprite. Copious whoop-ass will be unleashed on your unfortunate aikido butt, son of misery.

"Now, I love Cindi as much as the next kid who had to lip-synch "Material Girl" at her Girl Scout recital"

Isn't "Material Girl" Madonna?

Definitely the 80's are back. A student group on campus was trying to get us to book Bob Saget. We asked them what the appeal of Bob Saget is and they insisted it is because "Full House" is extremely popular again. Full House. Yeah. It's bad.

Hmmm...you are undoubtably more of an 80's goddess than I...you don't wear...SHOULDER PADS, DO YOU????????

: O

Re: Full House: People used to say I looked like DJ on Full House, and like Tina Yothers on Family Ties. How much more yikes can you get???

Of course I don't wear shoulder pads. They wouldn't go with my leg warmers or my one gloved hand.

Dress Barn = aptly named.

If shoulder pads are what's coming back of the 80's, I think I will stay happily out of style for some years. But I'm not sure if that day is here. I'm thrilled that the Gap tried to make skinny jeans happen last year, and it totally didn't work out. For all the people who shouldn't be wearing low-rise jeans, there are ten times as many who shouldn't be wearing skinny jeans.

And I'm freaked to admit it, but when you can actually remember the fashions that were in, the appeal of retro just vanishes. This Material Girl thing you speak of? I was in junior high. Yes. And I don't want to wear that shit again. I do not want to look like me at thirteen. That's not going to be good for anyone.

You know, I recently found a photo of myself at age 13. Yeah...uh, I don't want to revisit those times either. Why did we think stirrup pants were cool? Or really big perms? Or trucker hats? Wait...aren't trucker hats cool now or something?

*is confused about what is cool & what isn't*

You are scary practitioner of ancient arts, Saralinda-san. Perhaps you should return to the Dress Barn to get the black leggings with chinese characters. And find a dragon or yin-yang t-shirt to match.

Ah, my kickboxing friend, no doubt they would not help me stand against you or any of my foes. Although they would make me look cool and ninja-y.

Re: Martial wear anonymous August 6 2004, 09:09:34 UTC

Then your battle would be halfway won for no martial artist can afford to look uncool. As awkward and gawky as Uma Thurman's moves in 'Kill Bill Vol. 1' were, at least she managed to look cool in her yellow catsuit.

Re: Martial wear saralinda August 6 2004, 10:47:48 UTC

If I wore a yellow catsuit, my enemies would turn and flee without a fight...for all the wrong reasons, of course...

There were a whole bunch of words used that I don't understand... but I laughed anyway

saralinda August 6 2004, 10:48:36 UTC

Oh Mellen, if I can make you laugh that makes my day!
