Intrusion of reality into television entertainment: I used to work for an NBA team that would play pick-up when the floor was down and there wasn't a game that night. It's impossible to do on the regular (every Tuesday!) because the game schedule is not regular - or when the team is on the road, the arena is being…

We'll get there fast, and we'll take it slow!

Pyromania for me.

The Train That Couldn't Slow Down

I do know this woman who speaks excellent Chinese who has been on the BIG GIGANTIC CCTV-1 Chinese New Year's gala - so seen by probably something like 600 million people. But she's not random, her chinese is high level.

I've only read the translated manga, but there's this one where he fights a swordsman who uses a (dumb) reverse grip on his sword. And I ran around with a wooden sword in a reverse grip for like 2 months afterwards (5th grade?)

I love Ong Bak and Tony Jaa, but he's quite a bit away from Bruce in terms of on screen charisma and coolness. That's not a fault, few people can even approach the bad-assery of Bruce.

What? Spell color with a "K" - oh! Kolor! I hadn't thought of that! What a silly bunt!

GIVE THESE PEOPLE AIR COHEGAN!!!

Nixon was many things - many of them bad - but he was at least smart.

CNN International is a much much better channel than CNN in the US.

I thought Trump was cancelling his Europe trip.

A friend of mine's mom came to visit her in China from La Crosse. She remarked on how spicy the Shanghainese food was. (good thing we didn't go for Sichaunese or Hunanese food)

We (two Asians) got pulled over doing 90 . . .. with a warning. *WHEW*

Oh god, I was moving from Houston back to California and decided to take a slow leisurely route, including a week camping in Big Bend and a stopover in Marfa - and on our way to Big Bend, we arrived at 9pm at the motel and all we had to eat for an evening was 5 granola bars we had in the car and a couple of tiny tiny…

I have gigantic, muscular thighs and calves (which have never really done me much good - they're not good fast twitch muscles - I'm pretty slow. I guess they're pretty powerful, but that doesn't really help. That combined with being short makes my BMI look pretty bad.

I've run 1 full and 8 half marathons, and I'm about 20-30 pounds overweight. I really am trying to lose it, but unfortunately I have no easy fixes - I drink about 2 sodas a month, I don't drink alcohol at all (allergies, not morally opposed) - I do have an eating problem, but even when I eat less, the fat is pretty…

Correct # of bikes to own is x+1 where x is the current number bikes you own.

I've ridden mountain bikes my entire life - except for college where I had a much loved Bridgestone RB-2 - just a couple of years ago I was doing well and had no girlfriend so I splurged and bought a carbon fiber road bike. I got fitted and got set-up, but I never test road the bike until I was actually riding away…
