[livejournal.com profile] ascetic_hedony took me to the Jan de Jong annual demonstration of Ju Jutso, Aikido and err other stuff I don't know the technical name for but looks like a lot of fun.

High points included sacrifice throw demonstrations whereby you hurl yourself to the ground and the bad guy somehow flings himself over your head and lands on the ground with bone crunching enthusiasm, self defence whereby attractive young woman starts with verbal warnings and builds up to hurling offending bad guy to the ground with bone crunching enthusiasm and self defence from people with weapons whereby one hurls bad guy to the ground with bone crunching enthusiasm and hurts them til they give you their weapons.

They did it on the UWA foreshore which was very nice what with the green grass, blue skies, trees, kids, dogs and river. Felt very summery.

Got distracted by a man with the biggest, blackest Great Dane I've ever seen. This dog had a head a lot bigger than mine and it says a lot about the breed that children kept running up and fearlessly petting it. I wants one.

Strange - I don't understand, if an attractive young woman wants me to give her my weapons then I am more than happy to oblige if she just asks, I could probably be talked into buying her a coffee too. Shame that young women nowadays feel it necessary to beat up us poor blokes!

Great Dane - did it eat the children? I don't want one if it didn't. I'll stick with the children eating bats from Cairns.

Ignore this evil man, dogs that eat children should be left in Rockingham where they belong (and where noone cares if they eat the children.)

Luckily I don't know where Rockingham is. Perhaps think that children should be left in place called Rockingham and the dogs should be everywhere else to prevent them escaping?

I like the cut of your jib, young man.

Hrm.

A source of evil I hadn't contemplated before.

EvilMatti + Juffie = Natural Disaster.

Two smart, witty, lovely (I assume Matti is as lovely as Juffles or nearly so) men with black/quirky senses of humour?

I'm just living in fear of the puns.

I of course have no idea what you are talking about but I'd prefer to not be in the slightest bit guilty of, you can't prove it was me, I didn't touch it last (bestest mostest innocent look) an unnatural disaster. I mean, natural ones such as earthquakes and godzilla etc. are so passe nowadays.

Puck, your innocent look wouldn't fool a stunned duckling, I dont *need* proof.

What I am thinking of is an exclusion zone..

Oooo madam. You don't trust me? Well, consider that mutual! (-;
Tuesday, November 30th, 2004 02:38 am (UTC)
I trust you.

One of the things I trust you do to is admit nothing, deny everything and make counter-accusations whilst simultaneously wearing an expression of puckish evil.

Stop looking at me, juffles put me up to it.

Don't think pointing the Finger_of_Evil is going to get you anywhere

*thinks of Lord of the Flies*

Yes. Rockingham deserves that.

*flutters eyelashes*

Can I have your weapons?

Pretty please?
Monday, November 29th, 2004 09:17 pm (UTC)
ha! Only if we can go hang gliding from the battlements. And you madam, already have a reputation...
Monday, November 29th, 2004 09:30 pm (UTC)
If this reputation involves a towering fear of heights (actually it's the falling that bothers me) then it is deserved, otherwise I am innocent, completely innocent.

My mind = Pure as driven snow.
Monday, November 29th, 2004 11:52 pm (UTC)
Falling is quite natural, there are lots of ways to accomplish it and enjoy it. Your reputation is more in the beating people up department.

"Pure as the driven snow? "

Driven onto the rocks in a storm I think.

We don't do these funky martial arts to beat people up dammit.

What about ART!

How am I supposed to pose when you keep comparing me to a common drunken thug?
Wednesday, December 1st, 2004 04:21 pm (UTC)
You don't? then why do you keep beating people up? Correction - why do you keep beating your friends up?

Art has its place in society but why do you keep beating people up?

I don't think you need to be drunk to beat people up and I wouldn't describe you as common...
Thursday, December 2nd, 2004 11:42 pm (UTC)
Gawd, I'm like the fluffybunnykitten of martial artists.

There is no beating up going on - precious little drinking too come to think of it.

See the uncommon lesser spotted boblowowikkles in it's natural habitat..

you misspelt a word there. Badly.

= pure as the yellow snow
