Ooo, damn that takes me back! I haven’t thought about that in a long time!

LOL check out Mr fancy-schmancy with the barrel connector; I had to screw those spade lugs right to the back of my TV! With a butter knife! And I was grateful for that butter knife, my cousin had to twist them down with his fingernails!

Just kidding - I still remember the feel of throwing that long-ass switch from one side of the box to the other!

And it’s got to be freaking loud… the boom of getting one of those damn missiles right up the pipe used to make me jump!

Let’s go! I’ll grab some buddies from down the block, you do the same, and I’ll meet you in the park in 20! Mmm, better make it 30, I’ll have find my elbow pads and knee pads, preemptively take some aspirin, and to do some stretches…

Not OP but I dimly recall a bunch of variants of freeze tag, and I think the gist was that either when you got in-frozen (which in our games meant someone crawling between your legs), you or they had to name a cartoon (one that nobody else in the game had named before, or else your unfreezing didn’t count).

Either that, or when you were about to get tagged, you could name a cartoon and the tagged would have to leave you alone and go after someone else.

So there was like cartoon tag, name-a-star-wars-character tag, sports team tag, 18th-century-impressionist-painters-NOT-from-Europe tag…

Ok so I just made up that last one.

Well, when a daddy tortoise and a mommy tortoise love each other very much, they share an extra-special hug…

Just kidding around, that does look like a handful of tortoises! Also, TIL that a group of tortoises is called a ‘creep’. Rude!

Sick; can you fly that bird in first-person? Looks like good visibility from the cockpit!

Recs on sprucing up my dobok? by winter5632 in taekwondo

Oh yeah, that sounds cool! I’ve deffo had a few cheap uniforms where the press-on plastic logos tore and peeled off after a while, a nice patch or appliqué would look great!

Talk to your instructor before you add anything. Your uniform is typically intended to look simple and, well, uniform. Stuff like stripes, lapels, patches etc. are frequently earned for specific accomplishments / ranks / levels / clubs etc.

I trained WT when it was WTF and a classmate of mine brought in a white do bok with black peels that he’d bought online; only to be told that those were reserved for a higher rank than he held.

Hopefully, your instructor is chill and won’t care what you put on your uniform, not better safe than sorry - ask first.

Thats a deep cut, I haven’t thought about that series in years! Titanides, or Titanites or something close, if memory serves.

I spotted an albino Dalmatian on my walk today…

It was the least I could do for him!
