Rum, beer, movies, nice websites, gaming, etc., without interrupting the flow of martial threads.

What Is This Place??

Postby cerebus on Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:05 am

*Old man hobbles out of a dusty hallway in a forgotten corner of the Interwebs..... looking confused he squints up at the sign...*

"Rum Soaked Fist"??? Hmmmm..... not sure what THAT means, but.... this place, it looks vaguely.... familiar. The pictures on the walls, I've seen them before... I think. These people... their names, faces, I've seen them before as well... maybe. Perhaps on the street in passing? These conversations seem like words I've heard in the distant past. Maybe just the voices in my head. Well.... it seems as good a place as any to sit a spell....

*Groans loudly while lowering himself to a sitting position on the floor and leans back against the wall*

Too tired to keep walking, might as well rest a bit, and listen to these conversations. Maybe it'll come back to me, where I seem to remember it all from.... maybe...

Hey you old timer.

Move along.

This is a serious place for serious martial artists, not a pasture for broken down old bums.

We're gonna need to see some papers or you're headed to the stockade with the rest of the hobos.

This place used to be filled with joy (of presenting one's amateur dabblings in MA as world-class mastery) and laughter (at others' attempts to do the same)... Young, delusional martial artists fought bravely against one another using their mighty keyboards, occasionally joining forces against sparse but formidable trolls. Rum flowed through their veins, soaking their fists (well, at least for one of them it did...)

Today, this place is but a distant echo; a bleak shadow of its former glory...

It's a peerless boxer support group.

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to get away?
All those nights when you've got no lights
The check is in the mail
And your little angel
Hung the cat up by it's tail
And your third fiance didn't show
Sometimes you wanna go
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You wanna be where you can see
Our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows your name

Although we are in regular contact elsewhere, cheers! *hiccup* -toast-

My thanks for the welcome back to those who welcomed me back. I've been away for so long I seem to have forgotten how to post pics here. Anyone wanna refresh my foggy old memory?

Aaaah. Thank you. I believe I had Photobucket, though the last I heard from them, my account had expired...
