Brane Sirjens is us!

I know that feeling. Shins sometimes meet in sparring matches, and yeah, despite gear, it still hurts. And I've done that same boneheaded maneuver afterwards too (although, my hand was open as opposed to closed for said demonstration).

rone doesn't do half-measures.

Don't assume an open hand is a half measure. I broke a board into three separate pieces just last night that way.

Oh yeah? Once _I_ broke a board just by yelling at it and hurting it's feelings.

Well, OK, I only broke its heart, but STILL.

What a bastard. I just hit them, I don't tease them.

Broads respect the hand more than the attitude anyway.

What? We were talking about 'boards'? Oh, crap, uh.... nevermind.
