Yeah, ok. Ask me shit. I'll answer any question honestly, so long as it's an honest question.

Why tin whistles?

Who performed (and likely wrote) this song:

What is your favorite alcoholic beverage?

Mmmmm, cab.

Did you google that, or do you actually own REM's album of lousy b-sides?

And I ask you friend, what's a fella to do, if her hair was black and her eyes were blue?

Hey now. 80s REM wasn't shit. 90s REM however . . .

Does the song my sig line comes from have a tinwhistle portion?

What was the best fight you ever had?

How do you motivate yourself to practice/train?

wow, I had a huge post, and lost it.

I don't like to fight, so I've never had any 'best fights'. I do have a few fight stories, though. It'd be a friggin tl;dr book to type any of them up with any detail.

Here's the short version of one: Right out of the navy (around '94ish), I was in a bar with a friend of mine. I drank about 11 tequila shots that night and was nearly falling down drunk. When we left, these two guys chased us and tried to steal my friend's pool cue, so I tore them up.

One guy decided he didn't want to fight after about 30 seconds of my drunken ass being all over him. Left the other guy with a ton of cuts on his face (think boxing cuts), and a split lip that was completely split through like a hare-lip. Still, he was tough. He didn't give up until I choked him out.

I'm lucky they didn't have knives or guns. I'd probably be dead. Heh.

I visited my mom the next day, and she'd already heard about the fight through the grapevine. I was totally embarrassed, because I was the 'good kid' and never got into trouble.

Also, once, right out of the navy, I worked at a convenience store, and had a homeless guy pull a little pocket knife on me and threaten to stab me because I wouldn't give him any money for an already-cashed scratch off lottery ticket. I took the knife from him and bum-rushed him out of the store. I really didn't really feel like he was any real threat, but I suppose that a non-trained person may have been in real danger.

I really don't have the training motivation I used to, which is a shame. I used to train several hours a day, for the sheer enjoyment of it. In 2003, when I moved to Dallas, I lost all my students, and it was only recently that I started teaching again. Without a steady class to teach, and with all of the new things I had going on up here (new band, new girlfriends, etc), it was hard to find hours a day to practice.

The music was a big killer. Like martial arts, it takes a lot of daily commitment, and I really don't have much time for both.

I really need to get back into a more consistent training regimen, but with 3 kids in the house, and me working 9-5's, and doing the cooking, it's a bit hard to squeeze it in with all of the other things I like to try to do in the 3 or so free hours I have in a day. With me no longer working with the band, I think i'll probably be spending a little more time working out.[/QUOTE]

And the morale of the fighting stories: Don't go to the navy.

And wow, I envy your will to train. And I completely understand how time is a really precious thing...

Next question:

Why of all forums did you choose halforums to post in?

Why did you leave the band? I missed that, somewhere.

How many people bought the cd you made through HF?

What do you like most about your fiancée?

What do you like least about fiancée?

Why hasn't she been around anymore, or does she just post in places I don't see?

If you had to move out of the USA, where'd you go?

If it was one or the other, who would you name president of the USA, JCM or GasBandit?

hmmm... should I start my own question thread?

Find a potrait of Aaron Burr, put them both in a box. Leave them for an hour, then return to see which one was victorious.

That joke was lame, I will now commit sepukku.

It might take awhile, I'll find pictures of those two. Then I will videotape the epic battle and post it on here.

Be ye still wantin' Lappish music?

Perhaps I missed the answer to this a while back, but how did you meet your woman?

Do you all prefer "casual" hookups or a steady partner/partners?

Would you ever consider a "live-in"?

Alright:

Casual hookups in your current relationship or steady partner/partners in your current relationship.

Live in, as in the above question but on a more permanent basis.

These questions interest me, Shego.

The first one was a question as to which you prefer. I know we prefer to have a steady guaranteed thing "2nd girlfriend" if you will than have to be "searching" for our next encounter.

Live in, yeah it's a delicate matter, but as you can tell from my first answer, it's a situation I wish we had set in stone already.

When you imagine yourself (as a player in an average daily thought process), who or what are you?

North_ranger didn't get it either. Maybe I'm nuts. The you that you are in your head--who or what is he. The "avatar" for yourself that appears in any imagined situation.

....


Maybe I'm just nuts. My little me isn't necessarily my physical me.
