Eve, Krabi Krabong Master: I wonder if there is a place in Toronto that teaches Krav Maga
The Bro: there are tons
Eve, Krabi Krabong Master: really? Where?
Eve, Krabi Krabong Master: I would mostly want it for self-defence against knife wielding hobos
The Bro: Muay Thai is very popular, because it’s easy to learn, and there are no fixed stances like in Karate or Kung Fu
The Bro: it’s very versitile
The Bro: lol learn Aikido for knife defence
The Bro: but honestly
The Bro: if someone pulls a knife on you
The Bro: run
Eve, Krabi Krabong Master: ya I know
The Bro: or summon a chocobo
Eve, Krabi Krabong Master: is that a pokemon
The Bro: but make sure you’ve equiped the correct summoning materia


Side note: Krabi Krabong is a hilariously-named fighting style. I’ve been watching lots of Human Weapon. It’s made by the History Channel, and is surprisingly cool.

Diablo 3 looks awesome

April 30th, 2008 at 7:13 pm (Tales of the Swamp, Arts & Culture, Nerdz0r3d)

My brother is really into Diablo so he sent me this. I’m not a big gaming fan, but it looks really sleek.


The game play looks hardcore. Anyone know who did the score?

Science is finally trendy and therefore ridiculously overpriced

April 29th, 2008 at 7:58 am (Tales of the Swamp)

I like Inkycircus because it says things like this about a “Science Series Decanter” being sold for $334-$475:

Now this is great because it means that science is trendy but it’s also stupid because only a fashion slave douchebag would buy this item for a small fortune when you can get the real deal for $7.95 from Edmund Scientific’s.

I’m fairly sure that I love this so much because it makes ample use of the word “douchebag,” but I appreciate the sentiment even more.

Side note: I also don’t understand some of the items in this list here. $900 for a bolster? $1,600 for a bowl? $1,895 for a lamp? I mean, I love lamp as much as the next idiot, but I would rather feed my children than have a nice lamp. And by children, I mean heroin addiction.

It’s not even a very nice lamp.

Happy World Tapir Day Everyone!

April 28th, 2008 at 9:56 pm (Tales of the Swamp)

World Tapir Day was actually yesterday, so it unfortunately coincided with World Eve-has-to-write-a-horrific-paper Day and World Eve’s-computer-is-bricking Day. You understand why I missed it. Better late than never! I AM FREEEEEEE! And TAPIRS! Best day ever.

TAPIRS!!!!

World Tapir Day

There are some awesome shirts at their Cafepress store, although for some reason there aren’t a lot of shirts available for regular human females, only plus sized ones. A bit annoying, but there’s always the sweaters! I’m considering buying one. Both for the cuteness factor, and for the environment. It’s win-win! (Via Cute Overload.)

Cubes have four sides in Yale’s art department

April 18th, 2008 at 1:59 pm (Tales of the Swamp, Arts & Culture)

The student will wrap hundreds of feet of plastic sheeting around the cube, the paper reported. Blood from Schvarts’ self-induced abortions will be placed between layers of the sheeting, mixed with Vaseline to prevent drying and to extend the blood throughout the sheeting. Schvarts will then project recorded videos onto the four sides of the cube.
