I would probably stop short of calling you "brother" in the offhand way that so many people do, but please do have at me if it helps. In such a situation I am willing to be your punching bag.

I don’t know what you’re on about here, but I do know that your “willingness” isn’t required and I’ll “have at you” whenever I’m inclined … but especially if your daily trolling of me is of sufficient quality to capture my attention. Most days it isn’t.

I quite liked the Celobite quip.

Did Chuck Norris talk you into buying a Total Gym?

Coincidentally I am thinking of buying a (real) punch bag to help with keeping fit. I can’t decide on wether to get a hanging or standing one.

Check around with others, but I think a hanging one would be better if you have a strong anchor-point for it.

In my case, my current cinderblock hovel is divided up into small rooms (which was an efficient design for its size and its time), which is somewhat limiting. No room to swing a sword or battle-axe, and of course these days it's probably unwise to practice with those outside in the driveway.

No need to apologize, Rusty. The people who would allow themselves to be influenced to add a TD simply because others had already TD’d a post, mine or another’s, do not concern me.

It’s more about his mindset and being influenced by thumbs which is of interest, not yours πŸ™‚

That’s a very disrespectful way to talk about your wife.

Will she still have the double-bags over her head?

Have someone who knows what they are doing to tape your hands well, or you will wind up with a broken hand! πŸ™‚

How unfortunate that would be for the rest of us not getting to see your most interesting posts! πŸ™‚

That wouldn't be considered an appropriate question to ask someone!
