7. Actually, I only remember because we had a childhood friend, a |
|
second generation Japanese girl, whose cat had four kittens, and she named them Ichi, Nee, San, Shi.
:rofl:
I don't know if I spelled those correctly.

25. And after 7 years (3 of which were hell), I did get that black belt. |
|
Of course, my biggest memory of the black belt testing was nearly getting knocked out by a chauvanist asshole. He was taught a severe lesson a year later when it came time for his black belt though and he was told why. Guess what? He doesn't maliciously beat up on women in class anymore.

22. Oh, I've outsourced all my ten counting to two guys in a Bali garage. |
|
I ship them a box of vintage Penthouses, a few bottles of pear ale, and a re-pack of Sherman sticks, and we're good to go for a month from there. They count to ten now and again in whatever languages they know with whomever shows up in the garage, my investors are happy, and I don't have to again give a shit about counting to ten myself. Which is great. Because I don't know dick about that particular type of shit.
