Happy 70th birthday to the worlds most beloved TKD Blackbelt!

[Chang Style Novice]

I mean Willie Nelson (http://www.willienelson.com)! I don't care if his black belt is worthless (and according to this (http://www.blender.com/articles/issue4/willie_nelson.html) article, he earned it when he was in his late 60's, so that's not a promising sign of his martial prowess) but d@mnit, he's one of America's greatest cultural treasures. If you're not thankful for his existence, well, you oughtta be.

Talk about spinning kick flying too close to the ground.:D

[Chang Style Novice]

That's a great song, but I often wonder about it's authenticity - I mean, what does Willie know about being close to the ground?:eek:

(why don't we have a joint-smoking smiley?)

[KC Elbows]

I'm sure there is a joint smoking smilie. I just forgot where it is. After all, Gene does run this forum.
