A bright orange hazmat suit.
A friend at the CDC got me a great suit from there to wear so I can sleep germ-free.

What are we arguing now? That TKD is an effective martial art? It's been objectively shown to be not an effective fighting style.
And yes, grapplers are put at a disadvantage when it comes to UFC.
If you watch UFC 7-20 you see what happens when there are no stand ups and no time limits. A wrestler takes the other guy down and mauls him for 40 minutes. It's not exactly crowd pleasing. So they changed the rules.

Well, I'm back and crankier than ever though three pieces of Popeye's fried chicken a some coffee has mellowed me a tiny bit.
After reading every post since my last one, I'm whelmed, just whelmed, at all the expressions of concerns and best wishes sent my way. (sniffle, snivel, sigh)
Maybe it was just everyone being sure everything would turn out okay. Whatever the reason, the lack of concern was justified.For an old blind guy with a bad back, a game leg, and lousey attitude, I'm doing better than expected. But thanks anyway, gang.
Tanya, many thanks for stepping in and keeping the standards from sinking even lower in my absence. ;)
So whadda ya degenerate derelicts wanna drink?

All martial arts are like that though. They only work if everyone follows the rules. A wrestler would fuck themselves up if attempting to grapple someone on the street. Like paisa fighting would win in that instance. Like someone’s primo would just kick the wrestler in the head. Honestly, TKD’s ability to land a sucker kick in some random confrontation might take out a wrestler before the wrestler even knows a fight is happening. In Bruce Lee’s book about fighting he states that the number one thing to do in a real fight is to kick in the balls and gouge out your opponent’s eyes. Both of which are illegal in any type of competitive fighting.
Wrestlers tend to shoot for legs and a lot of the time the opponent is able to step back and avoid this attack. If the rules didn’t prohibit the wrestlers opponent to kick the brains out of his head while he’s on the ground the fight would be over pretty quickly. If anything MMA rules protect wrestlers more than other fighters.

Hmm. I realize now that, in my undercaffeinated state earlier, I answered an entirely different question than that which was asked (and probably led Buz astray as well). You mean when you click on the little magnifying glass and search stories for a specific word? Then, I _think_ the search results are based on some estimate of 'relevance' (having the word in the title or tags seems to count for a lot) and it doesn't look at popularity of the story at all. Again, just a guess. No inside knowledge on what's really happening.

Morning, folks. Bertha's please. How about trying a shot of "Old Whiskey River" in it today for variety?\
I'm not sure how well know this band is, but if you've never checked out Lake Street Dive (could almost be our house band with a name like that), do so. I've only just discovered them, but they aren't new. Been together for about 14 years and have a great sound that blends jazz, R&B, and classic pop. They are doing a couple festival gigs in Ontario this summer, one in the city where Seeker, Jr. attends university, so I might get a shot at seeing them live. If not, Youtube has tons by them, from official videos to radio and TV appearance, to concert clips.
And this endorsement has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that I'm crushing hard on their lead singer. Nothing whatsoever.8qHtVRt6gVVyA2eK
