Usually they grow between 3 and 8 feet, but this one was a rare discovery! I hope one day we have 12 foot kangas to play with. They can get to 200lbs as well!

Freakin' awesome brother, what a day!!

Yeah it was awesome. I enjoyed the whole event. They usually only do like 2 of these things a year in my city as far as that company anyways. You ever went to a comic con?

Oh nice! No I never have, it ain't my jam, but I've been tempted to go just for the experience.

Funnily enough, there is fossil evidence of even bigger roos existing in the distant past

Procoptodon - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

he largest, P. goliah, was 2.7 m (8 ft 10 in) tall and weighed up to 240 kg (530 lb)

I know right, how awesome is that?

Bit of a conundrum. I am in my early 60s and Mrs Xue has not cared when I went back and tried JKD for a bit, didn't blink an eye when I went back to Wing Chun..... doesn't care about me doing Taijiquan, Xingyiquan or Baguazhang.......last night I went and watched an Aikido class, and I want to give it a try.... and Mrs Xue threw a fit..... I'm too old, I will hurt myself, If I hurt myself don't come crying to her, I'm not 20 anymore....the list goes on....and I still want to give it a try....

I get you, I mean I can't go to training because my hand is still visibly deformed and swollen, but I want to go back to karate...

Well...only if I'm brave enough to go through with it...... and I may not be

I am guessing though, that she has no idea what Jeet Kune Do is..... and she may not know what Wing Chun is.... but if I had said Yongchun.... I may have gotten in trouble..... But she knows Aikido because my daughter was in it for so long, from Kids class to adult class 4 kyu...

I recently discovered that they actually have pretty good Corn Muffins

I'm still seeing posts making fun of that australian breakdancer, and I really don't see the appeal. I was not impressed by her act. But I'm also not a breakdancer, nor do I know what would be impressive. And ever if I did, and that's not her, I wouldn't care all that much. The lady put her all into it, and has to deal with constant ridicule from people who can't breakdance at all, who think her performance sucked.

It's been at least two months, and it hasn't stopped here, at the exact opposite end of the earth. I feel bad for her having to deal with it constantly.

At the age of 77, my running day is finally over. My doctor told me, if I want to maintain my walking ability, I have to stop my running. I will miss my running.

For us. We did nothing to support breakdancing. The we found out we were bad at we lost our minds.

And still did nothing to support breakdancing.

One should be loyalty to his country and not to be loyalty to the king or president. Is this just common sense?

I find I need an extra day off work and exercise in the week these days. I don't work or exercise on Sunday for religious reasons, but all the worshipping really takes it out of you

ultimately, there are worse things than to be famous/infamous for being spectacularly bad at something on a global stage.

It’s like the Jamaican bobsled team or Michael Edward’s, aka Eddie the Eagle. She was objectively not very skilled when compared to the other competitors AND, her dance moves were pretty hilarious. I mean, she hopped like a kangaroo at one point.

Well the formatting got screwed up and I can’t easily fix it on my phone. Hopefully you can pick out my bits above. I guess I’m spectacularly bad at this forum today

The 7 stages of exercise enthusiasm.

Stage 1:ugghhh.... sleepy not want run
stage 2:Caffeine abuse
stage 3:Hell yeah let's do this thing!
Stage 4:OK, this is actually going quite well
Stage 5:O bloody hell I feel I may be about to expire
Stage 6:Endorphins, the high you can feel smug about
stage 7:For some reason, I want to do that again

Don't say it like that, because I remember when she started, just yesterday!
