WHAT

THE

FU*K?????


ABBA is being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?????  When KISS and The Red Hot Chili Peppers were both nominees?? 

And performers like Rush, Ted Nugent, Judas Priest, Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden and many more actual ROCK performers still aren't part of it.

Just change it to "Candy-ass pop bubblegum music hall of asshattery".....

Guardian of the Gauntlet

This was one of those times when I was able to relax and have fun, despite the weather.  Cold and drizzly is NOT fun to be in or fight.  But there were lots of great friends there and I had a wondeful time, and did almost as well as I had hoped for in the tourney.  There were 25 fighters, single-bout triple elim (single sword for first life, defensive secondary for second, offensive secondary as third).

I may be misremembering the order, but I fought:

Wilhelm von Arte - W
John (young fighter from Bryn Gwlad, did very well in Queens, shows a lot of promise!) - W
Duke Aaron - L
Martin (used to go by Hanse, one of Don Dore's two new cadets) - W
Tivar - W
Corbin - (Dore's other new cadet) - W
Ld. Brian - W
Maelgwyn - L (apparently the rumors of speed and skill are not exaggerations.  He had a great day, especially for not having been practicing or fighting rapier much!)
Semi-Finals: Ingve (who went on to win the tourney) - L (I yielded after both leg and hand being wounded)

There were also numerous instances of fighters showing excellent honor, courtesty, and judgment with blow-calling.  It was a great time!

The rest of the weekend was also a great time visiting with good friends and household.

DICKHEAD ATTENTION WHORE, THY NAME IS KANYE.

Amazing how the pop culture could care less for his multiple occurrences of racist statements and behavior.

And Beyonce showed some class, which was really nice to see.

But holy catz man, would someone do something to this asshat?

This would be why I don't watch things like the VMA's.  That, and I'm not a 16-year old girl from the suburbs who thinks vampires should sparkle......
