And agreed that there's a lot of just spinning around in that set.
It's not standard. Nothing is standard. That's not the way Chinese martial arts works.
The same quanpu might describe different moves. The same move might have multiple quanpu. It’s very abstract.
Deer horn knives are used mostly in Bagua, a style which works off walking in circles, so yeah, lots of spinning around.

I take it you’ve not read my book…

I know this guy.
And no, I'm not proud of this at all...

Stop asking if it can get worse.
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm

More like ‘my yokai world’ than ‘my martial world’
I know we don’t have a thread for that yet, but maybe it’s time…

My accountant asked me today why I had Iron Crotch on my PayPal account. I had to explain the significance to him. Then I had to find videos. And back in the early days, my videos didn't end up on KFM, I posted them. This one has 63K views. And still gets comments.

A reasonable question and a good answer.
That's a solid vid. Glad it's getting you some views.

I think we need to find a new accountant. Ours has gotten crazy expensive.

I know a good one in Illinois. I think he charges us about $250

I was hoping for the Bay Area. Ours was $775 this year. And it turned out I needed to file a final return for my mother's trust even though it had no income this year. It probably took him ten minutes to do the return - it's about three pages - and the charge was $550, which was up 10% from last year.

We just got word from our tax accountant. We owe.
We can no longer claim Tara as a dependent.

It's all done by email. And our taxes were quite complicated.

My NCAA bracket is kaput.
It's such a relief that I don't have to worry about paying taxes on the $25K prize for the winning bracket.
The Jeopardy tax hit has sort of soured me (us) on winning contests.
Apologies for continuing this thread hijack.
I'm nobody's pony.

I remember that. So awesome!
I blame this sort of cinema for my distorted tastes...
