Ninja dishonours Shaolin Temple, monks seek legal recourse. I'm all for the rule of law and everything, but I was really hoping for a battle royale.

  • A majority of Chinese kung fu that's taught today (all over the world, including China) is for show. You can still find teachers who know the original, effective styles, but it's more rare. So I don't know if I believe this or not, but it's definitely plausible in my opinion.
  • Perhaps the Shaolin lawyer will argue Eagle Claw Style, while the Ninja lawyer will argue Screaming Badger Style.
  • Nothing beats pen missile. Nyerm.
  • Perhaps the Shaolin lawyer will argue Eagle Claw Style, while the Ninja lawyer will argue Screaming Badger Style. And then they''l have to call in Bernockle-san, Bento Lawyer.
  • Eagle Style doesn't work against Badger Style. Only Snake Style works against Badger Style.
  • /sorta off-topic... My five-year old son challenged me to a Shaolin showdown the other day. He got mad at me because I said no to him about something. So, he gets this real serious look in his eye, backs up a few steps, gets real still then stikes a pose and says "I challenge you to a Shaolin Showdown!". Imagine it said with a slight babyish lisp and he can't say his L's - I chowenge you to a shaowin showdown!! He got even more pissed at me when I started laughing my ass off. He came at me with his little, tiny karate chops. It was so damn adorable. I hurt myself laughing so hard.
  • Are you going to let him take martial arts classes when he gets older?
  • Yep, he and my seven-year old daughter, too.
  • ..Only Snake Style works against Badger Style... mushroom, mushroom
  • *pulls out ginsu blades, takes on mushrooms chopchopchopchop! Saved you.
  • And the angel of the Lord came unto me, snatching me up from my place of slumber, and took me on high, and higher still until we moved in the spaces betwixt the air itself. and he bore me unto a vast forests of our own pacific northwest, and as we descended cries of impending doom rose from the soil. one thousand, nay, a million voices full of fear. and terror possessed me then. and I begged, "Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?" And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the mushrooms, the cries of the mushrooms. You see, reverend Maynard, tomorrow is harvest day and to them it is the holocaust." And I sprang from my slumber drenched in sweat like the tears of one millions terrified brothers and roared, "Hear me now, I have seen the light, they have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul. damn you! let the bluehorses wear glasses, save our brothers...can I get an amen? can I get a hallelujah? thank you, Jesus.
  • Hallelujah!
  • Homi, I'm tellin' ya, ya gotta quit lickin' the tops on those damn things.
  • What's wrong with licking ninjas?
