The silence is deafening...

Any comments from you Old Timer? I believe he was your Sifu also.

"Your disrespectful tone, would it make your Sifu proud? Or, are you just going to state that it's a vehicle to help enlighten us? Because we, the unknowing quire simply are too ignorant to follow the valuable lessons you help share and need to wake up?"

He was my sifu too.

This would not be to far from correct, that is the vehicle stuff. And to a certain extent, loike all of us, there are things to wake up to. It's called learning.

And I am sure Jimmy would be more preturbed with Tim's competition then Jack's personality. It is obvious that Jack's disrespect has a purpose, story and information (as someone said earlier).

Actually, I do not think Jimmy defined himself by his students, so what either Jack or Tim did wouldn't have mattered too much to Jimmy. From the amount of knowledge displayed by the posts I think Jimmy would have been pround of them both.

Let me say one thing. If I had to pick one to watch my back in battle I'd go with OT, Jack and the San Soo practitioners who have posted here and have the street experiance. If I wanted to compete, I'd pick Tim or someone who has his many years or experience. And I do think being a martial arts teacher is something to be proud of. I'd also take a crack at Jack's life if I could.

Tim's remarks about Jack seemed gruff and out of character. In all fairness he opened the door to that response.

3 -
Valid points. Thank you for answering.

Question: Can someone wake someone up and help them without being a ••••••••? Or, does one have to be a •••••••• like Jack has been and use it under the guise of "learning/teaching?" There is no malice in my using an expletive to describe Jack. Words are expressions of feelings. Powerful and yet not powerful. The are only what they are, and I believe jack would understand. I choose that word now as to illustrate a point.

My question though has peaked curiousness around you and Old Timer's/Jack's response though.

Nihil Curo...

NB - Jack, clearly the subset of language you speak in those far away countries, must make you recognize the mother tongue one has used to communicate with you? Or, are you just not understanding? You see, there's more to everything than just anything and out of brillance is b*llsh%t and within bullS^8t is truth. One has noticed much of it on this thread.

Re: Question,

Yes.

Also, the posts are taking on an distinctive quality - personality. This site was lacking before Jack began his "lack of personality campaign."

Outside of useless profanity, many posters have developed a voice. Much more interseting reads.

The first "Quire" member to do this was Shane. His post regarding the challenged kids was memorable.

Question: Seen him latley?

Hey 3,

I think you re right. Captain Nemo de Twat is the Latin Shane!

Uga buga Nemo are we tryin to develop a personality with that mumbo jumbo dis is dat and dat is dia shiet. A little more originality wouldn’t hurt. E for effort.

All that goody goody please your sifu, don’t be a Jack personality, shine your shoes smack up drag you profess is boring. Quire has a penchant for the boring. Is that a learned thing?

Yeah rambunctious Jack is back for the attack and the quire squirrels to defend. Eah Heh Heh!!! Hungry Jack!

"Sorry I hurt your feelings."

Wha wha wha. No your not, Woest me, what will the Jackster do now that Tim has psychologically debased him? Guess he'll have to get a job, by a Ford Escort and teach martial arts for a livin - Nofrickinway - the world is thine oyster shooter and I like expensive Vodka.

No time to dally with the Glass Jockstrap set.

"It's plain you think you know everything, but you might have a few less buttons to push if you occasionally took some good advice. Like Old Timer's for instance."

I do not know Jack. But I got a load of opinions big buddy. And De Jacue is anything but plain. The only plain I know is in “airplane.”

Mr. set-in-his-ways telling me I should take some good advice. If you are so malleable, how come you are routine bound?

"Keep it real buddy."

It is a real as it gets. You take some of Old Timers advise, like invest in a medical kit so you can apply your studies. Or at least teach your per-personality development students to. Is that like pre-pubescent?

"ps. How much does $20,000 worth of jewelry weigh?"

Depends on the quality of the diamonds, in my case around 1/4 ounce.

What are you one of those guys that wear Mr. T starter kits? Those went out in the 80's? Hey I made a funny - Mr. T, Get it? Errr - tighten those butt cheeks when you workout Eddie Murphy style.

Take a lot more than some wannabe trash talk to rattle the uncaged sidewinder……

Go ahead heap on some more self adulation. Indulge, indulge - be my guest. Lap it up if you want. Slurp slurp.

How was that OT, Any better?

That was nice - I feel better now.

as the first member of the "quire" I'm not sure if I should feel honored, insulted or just plain dirty.

"Captain Nemo de Twat is the Latin Shane!"
ditto.

Shane,

The word is out that your are about to be inducted into the fan club.

Sush, it will be our dirty little secret. Expect your membership card and beanie to arrive soon.

Pluck you magic twanger frogy!

Hey Jack,

That was a rather short post for you. A new member is asking about Jimmy. You don't have any stories do you? I didn't think so.

Why doesn't he ask Tim?

"Why doesn't he ask Tim?"

I think because you and Jack spent a lot more time with Jimmy than I did.

How much time you spend with Jimz?

Who you workoput with besides Ted. Ever workout with Al Hinojosa?

What about Harry Wong?

Larry Wikel?

Al Rubin was before you time? How bout Darrel Clardy?

What about Jack and his brother?

OC to El Monte was quite a little truck.

How did you come to know about Jimmy? Russ Willams and Carl the cop?

How old were you when you started, I'm tryin to peg ya. Did you have long hair?

What color gi did you wear after you turned black.

What color gi do you wear now after you have turned brown? (Arrr - just kidden el Timeteo).

You know Jack loves you and all your flock.

Grace. Grace. Flock. Flock.

Old Chinese saying, Those who live in glass jock should not throw balls..

Sorry, just can't stop.

You Kneoowa I love ya when I pick on ya so. Say It aint so, Joe.

Hey can I come on down and workout sometime???

I'll leave the sticks and stones and home... maybe, ah well don't belive me caz afterall I tell story now and then. But man must live, right. Go workout.. Tim! Work with Jack. Slow down, workout too fast, no more students. No more track money.

Do you have covered parking, I'll bring the horse. Valet service?

Whoa Jack,

All these questions, it's getting like E Harmony in here.

Darrel and I trained together for years, I knew Jack and his brother, I was 12 when I started, Ted started taking me to Jimmy's on Saturdays when I turned 18.

You are welcome anytime, but there's no valet service in my neighborhood.

Well seems that all is a little too calm around here and Tim's gettin mushy. And gracious (guess maybe he did get something from Jimmy).

And being as I made my point regarding putin words in other's mouths and training for ego and deliberate feeling (I admit I am Xing) and whole lotta other Ker rap, (oh yeah and a nedd to have a personality and use what you know, I guess that now that I have invented a new character it is time for the writer to do what he does - use it.

When I need a new voice I'll be back. All you little turds stay tuned cause - I'm chure you ain't gonna come cross no bad guy like me agin, Not on dis board. Hey you see da bad guy, take a good look.

Manolo, let get outa ere..

Right Tony...

So I'm secure in the fact that the quire wants me to keep postin and sense I define myself by their approval, I will be sure to post no more!!!!!

So long suckas, it hasn't been nice postin with ya and don't cry for me Argentina.

Seems pretty commonsensical to me, really.
