[7th_Sephiroth]

[bigwillq]

3. How many votes will Kerry win by

in the popular vote?

[7th_Sephiroth]

6. about a million 500

give or take the number of dem voter registrations that were torn up

[bigwillq]

7. So, what will be Kerry's first job duty when

he is sworn in?

[7th_Sephiroth]

11. order the sniper

to take out the squatter in his house that refuses to leave

[bigwillq]

17. LOL!

[7th_Sephiroth]

18. the sad thing is

thats probably true

[jukes]

4. why is there always SOME unoriginal lout

who needs to re-articulate the same cliche-ish stab @ the kitten/death "joke"?

[7th_Sephiroth]

5. cause some people are idiots

thats why

[jukes]

8. you're accuracy

is astounding!

[7th_Sephiroth]

10. thats why they call me the accumaster

:D

[jukes]

12. the musashi

of response...

[7th_Sephiroth]

14. actually my nickname is "Musashi ReBorn"

you should see me with a katana

[jukes]

15. beautiful weapon

never took it up, but admire practitioners. i've always needed to focus on modern weapons & tactics.

[7th_Sephiroth]

16. i'm still trying to get a decent one

the decent ones start at about $900 you can get allright (look at ones) for $20-$90

[jukes]

19. that's sadly true

and practice is much sweeter w/ a sharpened blade.

i've broken both wrists, leaving me w/ an inflexibility that wd limit my skill w/ the daito. i envy you that expression.

kendo originally, or from cross-training?

i'm a shodan in hawaiian kenpo, ranked, barely, in southern praying mantis.

[7th_Sephiroth]

20. self-taught Ni-Ten-Ichi-ryu

Musashi is my teacher, i am a fast-draw artist with a nasty tequnique where i use my sheath as a weapon and a shield, and its not the sharpness of the blade (most of the time) but the quality of the blade, most are merely poured out of a forge, not folded

[jukes]

22. many modern swords are molded

& drop forged, true. folding provides hardness for edge retention sandwiched w/toughness to reduce breakadge, sim to damascene teel, but more elegant in the japanese swords. musashi,hero of the bokken, wd cert agree w/you!

iado, the simutaneous draw & strike, is indeed the soul of the combat sword. the fluidity of a master is poetry.

my weapon of choice is the knife. i prefer a slim, western blade to the tanto for my purposes; started that training when i worked narcotics & concealibilty was paramount. i prefer ATS34 steel, excellent sharpness & a tough steel to boot. unsuitable for swords, the old techniques are still supreme for swordsmithing.

knifes lack the mass for follow through of the sword, o/c. practical as hell, but lacking finesse.

[7th_Sephiroth]

23. i per a thicker, longer knife with a seratted edge or a saw side

i have one with a 12 inch blade that i can wield with speed, its made of carbon steel, i think, its a little flexible but tough, with a diamond edge i can cut a man in half with it

[jukes]

24. i follow a progressive path

progressing to the body core up the attacking limb.

primary targets are the peripheral arteries; you can bleed an opponent white in less than ten seconds by opening the brachial or femoral. need less than 4" of blade, but it must be keen.

arteries shd be opened, but not severed; a severed artery tends to neck down & slows bleeding. death is just as sure, but slower.

secondary targets are nerve plexes, like the radial & tendons/connecting tissue.

my dislike for fractal blades is merely asthetic, perhaps tempered by the pride i take in preparing a concave blade of quality steel.

[7th_Sephiroth]

25. i use a blade as a shield as well

but i perfer to sever the optical nerves and then dismember my enemy, and leave him alive

[jukes]

28. ah, so desuka!

the blinding-spider technique!

[7th_Sephiroth]

29. hopefully i will never have to use it in a real life situation

nor the hush of 100 million years

[jukes]

30. preparedness

is what it means to be a budokai, however.

reality is but an eye blink from practice.

[7th_Sephiroth]

31. i have had to defend myself from a lethal attacker before

so i know that all too well

[jukes]

32. life has only one

destination; the budokai is in no hurry to reach it!

[7th_Sephiroth]

33. with my skill

i will not reach that destination for quite some time

[jukes]

34. my cats call

they want me to go to bed so they can misbehave!

nice talking to you, Sephiroth-san!

[7th_Sephiroth]

35. likewise

and they better misbehave, or i will report them to the feline alliance

9. How do I barbecue a beef brisket?

I've never done one. Got any recipes?

[7th_Sephiroth]

13. oven barbecue

INGREDIENTS:

4 to 5 pound beef brisket, trimmed
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
PREPARATION:

Combine everything but the brisket in a bowl. Mix well. Rub over the surface of the brisket and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Refrigerate overnight. Preheat oven to 300oF. Place brisket in a roasting pan on a roasting rack and poke a couple of holes in the foil. Cook for 4 hours. Remove from foil and let sit for about 10 minutes before carving and serving.

[qnr]

21. In addition to the aforementioned recipe,

I actually barbequed a beef brisket about 2 months ago. Marinaded it overnight -- didn't know how is was going to turn out, so 1/3 I put on as a big hunk, 1/3 I wrapped in aluminum foil, and one 1/3 I sliced into strips .... all three ways turned out marvelously.

[kanrok]

26. What's the best method for cooking kittens?

I have a couple on hand, and I'm REALLY hungry. Please help.

[7th_Sephiroth]

36. ask me more
