Happy Birthday, Apoweyn !!

ahh, to be 32 again;) :smiley:

happy birthday Ap!!! How old are you brother?! Keeerist in just 9 days I am going to hit the big 30!!!

dang, younguns!

let’s all chip in and get him a big jar of marmite and some crackers.

I’m not sure I approve of eating marmites. I hear they keep them in really small cages and kill them young.

LOL!

Thanks fellas! :slight_smile:

I’m 32 years old today. And feeling every bit of it. Took a ‘basic’ Brazilian jiujutsu class last night. I’ve got mat burns up and down both shins and on the top of both feet. I’ve turned into such a wuss.

Big fun though!

Godd@amned kids.

Get off my lawn!

Now, to honor your fine taste in movies, I bring you the SAMMO HUNG (without Jackie Chan) DEATHMATCH!

Prodigal Son vs. Pedicab Driver

Magnificent Butcher vs. The Odd Couple

Zu: Warriors of the Magic Mountain vs. Spooky Encounters

The Victim vs. Millionaire’s Express

whats with all the old people on this board anyway? Don’t they let you guys out of the home?

Prodigal Son vs. Pedicab Driver

Only seen scenes from Pedicab Driver. Hear both are really good. But the fight between Sammo and Lau Kar Leung I saw was pretty freaking dynamite.

Magnificent Butcher vs. The Odd Couple

Never seen either one. But I’ve heard of MB, so I’ll wager on that.

Zu: Warriors of the Magic Mountain vs. Spooky Encounters

Ug. Zu. That movie has the taint. When Neo (The Matrix) becomes enlightened, he looks cool. When Yuen Biao and the other guy become enlightened, they suddenly appear in leather dungarees that show off their nipples. And then they have to ‘put their swords together.’ Not cool.

Spooky Encounters, on the other hand, looks awesome.

The Victim vs. Millionaire’s Express

Really liked Millionaire’s Express. Rothrock when she was cool. Richard Norton (who’s always cool). And Sammo plays an unusual character for him. Liked a lot.

The Victim I’ve never seen.

Stuart B.

You totally have to see Prodigal Son, The Victim and Pedicab Driver (you’ve seen the best part of the latter, but there’s plenty other good stuff, too.)

Anyway, I mostly posted that as a lark. I tried to get my film-snoot buddies interested in it, but they’re busy voting on this bracket:

The Conformist vs. The Seduction of Mimi
The Best Man vs. The Candidate
Secret Honor vs. Dick
The Battle of Algiers vs. Before the Revolution
1900 vs. Reds
Z. vs. La Guerre est Finie
All the King’s Men vs. All the President’s Men
The Boxer vs. In the Name of the Father

BORING! Not a single kick to the head in any one of 'em. What a bunch of effete schmoes.

Anyway, happy birthday, ya whippersnapper.

Wow. I’ve heard of three of those.

:slight_smile:

Anyway, cheers CSN.

…

Whippersnapper?! You’re older than me?

I turned 34 a couple weeks ago.

happy birthday, ap.

and happy belated, chang style.

and happy early, red5.

and happy somethingerother to the rest of y’all.

young punks, I’ll be 36 in Aug.

heh, I broke a toe last night, the right pinkie one. I now have a full 360 range of motion with it and plan on devoting the rest of my life to developing a "poisen toe’’ style of kung fu.

keeerist!!! How did you break your toe?! I guess that is what happens when you get older though, things start to break!

Did you get a hooker. Everybody should get a hooker on their birthday.:smiley:

Congrats.

jujitsu class, I was comparing to Ap’s mat burns, got a couple of those as well. i just caught the mat wrong and pulled the toe out sideways. it’s kinda sticking out to the side now.

we are starting to get into high gear for the october tourny.

did you plan on wrapping that bad boy or are you just sucking it up so it heals sticking out?

oh, I wrapped it last night. It’s in my shoe now, just all swole up.

it’ll be fine by thursday.

Happy birthday my friend.

I start to feel old when thinking about turning 27 on 9/11. You guys sure do make me feel better about the whole thing! :slight_smile:
