Warrior Mash-Up!

I can’t stop posting! It’s like a disease!

Now I am surfing the Net while E watches something called Warrior Mash-Up or something. They pit classic battle styles against one another. Tonight it’s Shaolin Monks vs Maoris.  I’m betting Shaolin wins.

Interesting. Apparently the Maori warriors stuck their tongues out at the enemy as a form of disrespect. When they killed them, they ate them. As the man on the TV said, “It’s the ultimate insult to turn your opponent into fecal matter.” He’s got a point.

I wonder how they got the guys to do this show. Casting call: Want to get beat up?

Yep. Shaolin wins. That’s what happens when you have the technology to produce steel.

Girl Guides

All the Girl Guide stores in the Lower Mainland are closed. You can only get Girl Guide stuff online now.  This is freaking me out.

Backstory: One of my tutoring students is joining Guides. I fully support this and am so happy for her. I got a lot out of the Guiding movement. I hope she gets to go camping at least once before she goes back to Korea, because I know she is going to love it so much.

Her investiture ceremony is tonight. I have drilled her on the promise, which is a little different from the promise I made. Here’s what she’s saying:

I promise to do my best,
To be true to myself
my God/faith and Canada:
I will help others,
And accept the Guiding Law.

Here’s what I said:

I promise, on my honour, to do my best,
To do my best, to do my duty
To  God, the Queen, and my country,

To help others at all times,
And obey the Guide Law.

Subtle, but there.

Anyhow,  Wendy’s mom forgot to order her the program book, and the Vancouver store was closed.  I thought it was weird, but I wanted to help, so I said I’d go get one from Richmond. I had ulterior motives. I wanted to go to IHOP.

Well, it turns out ALL the Guide stores are closed. I’m sorry, but I still got to go to IHOP. Win!
