I'm only going to speak in animated gifs in this thread. ;)

The worse they are, the better they are.

It actually doesn’t kick in until you passive-aggressively let everyone know that you have someone on ignore.

This is so good but it hurts.

Holy crap, what happened here?

A runaway cart plowed through a couple people on a football field. It managed to pick up a passenger along the way, who then tried to steer the cart in some weird attempt to stop it. The passenger, subsequently realizing he was in no position to stop the cart, tumbled from the cart in an effort to save his life. Moments later some other dude ran up, jumped in, tossed out some debris holding the accelerator down and blocking him from hitting the brake pedal, and stopped the cart.

That block just found its own way onto the gas pedal…

This happened at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas at a high school event on a Saturday night. A few people ended up in the hospital.

Dude who ran after it and stopped it was pretty impressively on the ball. I expect most people’s first reaction would be to A.) get the fuck out of the way then B.) start filming it on their phones.

That’s a high school football field? Jesus, we used to mark our yard lines with gopher holes and broken bottles.

No, it’s a professional football field that the HS was using.

So I guess the high school’s team isn’t called The Cowboys?

A couple of years after those toddlers’ ages and tae kwon do can get serious. I went to a meet once to see my 9 year old niece perform, and there were some serious 10 and 11 year old black-belts. Possibly not the most fearsome fighters in the world, but quite good with forms. Admittedly the girls’ bo sticks were covered with glitter and sequins, but even so… One little girl nailed a perfect, and appropriately intense two-kama form (though what kama has to do with tae kwon do I don’t know).

I went to an amateur muay thai event once, and one of the matches consisted of two nine year old girls. They were actually pretty bloodthirsty, despite the cute pink shorts with little bows on the side. Also funny seeing the parents cheer them on in the crowd.

If I get a say in what my child’s martial art growing up, I’m definitely going to steer them towards something not forms related. Judo, BJJ, Muay Thai, etc. My wife may veto the MT, but I think she’d be hard pressed to veto Judo or Jui-Jitsu.

Yeah I wish some sort of combat had been my childhood assigned summer sport instead of soccer.

Atleast you know how to dive now.

Well I was the goalie so what I actually know is how to run at someone at full speed who is running at me at full speed and then get kicked in the arms or head by them.

That’s because you are trying to pick up the ball, instead of tackling them!

RobotPants · 2011-12-19T11:30:01.000Z

Tackling? You obviously don’t know anything about soccer. They have those wooden sticks for a reason, you know!

kerzain your post:gif ratio is seriously suffering. YOU ARE ON NOTICE.

My siblings and I were given a sharp flint each and cast out of the cave for 9 winters.

Yeah, he came out of nowhere, hauling ass and took charge of the situation.
