ng cavscout Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I remember when I first entered the MBT, it was in response to a query put forward by Seanachai, asking why we hate the Australians. Well, here is a reason to pity them, and make sure they always keep their drool buckets with them. "Kung Fu Lion Historic Darwin Award Nominee Confirmed by Darwin (Late 1989s, Australia) A rather impressionable student of kung fu listened with rapt attention when his instructor dramatically informed the class, "Now that you have reached this level in your training, you can kill wild animals with your bare hands!" The martial arts trainee took the statement as gospel, and headed to the Melbourne zoo to test his mettle with the wildest animal of all: the lion. In the dead of night, he slipped into the zoo, leapt into the lion enclosure, and engaged a suitable king of the jungle in combat. He would probably have lost a one-on-one fight, but he never got to try. His naive fight plan didn't account for the enthusiasm of the lion's pride for a tender intruder; nor did it give sufficient weight to the possibility that his instructor didn't know what the hell he was talking about. Zoo employees found his remains -- two arms and hands -- the following morning, with shreds of red fur grasped tightly in his fingers." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a real challenge! Not like the "what passes for a real challenge, but is really a lot of verbosity and bloviation", so send me a set up for CMBB, a scenario or QB, your choice, we'll discuss the particulars over a spot of tea and some caviar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have really pointed out something that needs to be addressed at the highest levels of colloquial usage.
