See my sig

--edit--

oops forgot I had stripped most of my quotes from my sig

How about:

"I don't have a six pack but at least it's no longer a keg" - Me
"Goings places unmapped to do things unplanned to people unsuspecting" - Me

Somethings to keep in mind
"No battle plan every survives first contact with the enemy"
"Everyone has a plan till they get punched in the mouth"

Hello, If one can believe...one can acheive...anything!

Eat to live...NOT live to eat! ..(learning to eat the right way..to lose weight).

Holy cow? ...India's cattle'

What kids grow to learn are from seeing and believing.....

Watch where you are going (crossing the roads).

It is OK to laugh at yourself (just don't do it often).....

Mine has a story behind it. I must tell it, or no one will get it.
Back when my Sensei started training in Aikido (pre-Cuong Nhu) there was this knuckle head who was training with them. He is one of those jokers who already has every thing figured out. Their Sensei was this short little Japanese guy, A-typical Mr. Myagi. Well the knuckle head asked their sensei "whats the best block in the world?". The sensei's response? (in brocken english) "Ohh, so you want to know best block in world? That real simple. When opponent attack you here (gesturing to his chest), you no be there!"
Same guy was also modifying Aikido techniques to make them "altra-realistic". And doing them to my future sensei. So, their sensei came over and said "That real good throw. You do to me" WHA POW! the guy flips on his face. "That not work so well. You try again. Come on". WHA POW! Flips on his face again. "Mmm. Maybe you need work on Aikido, make own later." And he walked away and winked at my sensei in the mirror. Well, o.k. thats a diadactic story, not so much a quote though.

Mrs. Kaur, who is spinal tap? I know they give those to diagnose certian deseases, but a person? I'm confused

As to shotochem, I heard that before too. and (my sensei mocking me after getting swept): side drop works much if you do it. landing on butt doesn't help much

"This is Spinal Tap" is a movie that satirizes very popular bands and the band members.

"There is no 'he walked into it' in sparring - you threw it, you own it" - several of my seniors, after various disputed calls for excessive contact.

Spinal Tap is Christopher Guest and his usual cohorts satirizing hard core metal. However they do tour on occaision and have a large following. Not your typical metal fans tho.

To paraphrase a favorite Spinal Tap moment, "It goes to eleven, it's one higher."
