OMG! The new shaolin logo is a steaming turd!

[redflag]

Gene, I just read the new issue and in your publisher's note, you show the new 'official' logo and it's a pile of crap! Seriously! What gives? Is that Shaolin or what?

[David Jamieson]

it's a stylized buddha in the lotus.

man, i would have had a raised eyebrow on your rorshach tests! lol

and picture #45

:a steaming turd

and #46

:a turd...steaming

and #47

:also a turd

do you have a turd fixation?
:what's that smell in here?

hahaha

[GeneChing]

The new logo is appearing on a lot of the 'high-end' shaolin stuff - some really nice stuff actually - it very classy, not cheesy like a lot of the touristy mementos being pawned off in the last two decades. The meditating figure is in the style of local folk art, which I believe echos some of the ancient art of the area, but I'm not sure about that. To me, it looks like whipped cream with a cherry on top.

I remember in San Jose, CA, we had a similar observation on a quetzalcoatl statue (http://www.sanjose.com/underbelly/unbelly/Sanjose/Quetzy/quetzy.html). The buddhist retort might be like KL's, that abstract art is kind of a mirror, but then again, the buddhist retort should be unattached to turd fixations. In fact, I remember when studying in an Ashram in Rishikesh India, we had a big discussion of turd mandalas.

gee thanks gene, now i am having trouble not laughing while playing coiling energies in snake shape....

each chuckle disperses the forces you know....

d.amn you!

[GeneChing]

Forums are no fun if I can't mess with your head. Or your colon...

uh-oh, I hope no one quotes me on that....

[Serpent]

Heh heh heh......

:)

[GeneChing]

Soon I'll dominate all of your signature. ;)

[Serpent]

You will if you keep posting gold like that! ;)

[GeneChing]

Now I don't know but I been told
it's hard to run with the weight of gold
Other hand I heard it said
it's just as hard with the weight of lead

You weren't the only one to pick up on that quote here. I probably shouldn't have said not to quote me. That's an open invitation to do just that.

[Serpent]

Exactamundo, Mr Ching! ;)

[GeneChing]

But let's try an experiment:

"Gene Ching is God. I will die for him" Uh-oh, I hope nobody quotes me on that... ;)

[Fen]

lol Borther Ching!!! You are good! But not that good "yet" but keep working on it! It will come in time as all good thang's! lol But if you do find someone that will die for you!!! Please let SilLumKid and me see if there fath is worthy frist!

Where is my legion of die-hard, never-say-die warriors who will die for me? While we're at it, let's make them ninjas (http://store.martialartsmart.net/ninjaitems.html). Better yet, ninjettes. Bring me the ninjettes that will die for me. Bring 'em smothered in nacho sauce. Bring me my nacho-smothered ninjettes!

Now I'm just trying to get people to quote me...

[David Jamieson]

That is as clear as perrier.

[GeneChing]

...but society is to blame.

Besides, it worked. :cool:

[David Jamieson]

Besides, it worked.

Is this what you meant?

:)

[redflag]

I don't care what you say. The new Shaolin logo is still a turd. How fitting. How can you look at that and not see a turd?

[herb ox]

Gene - I still want to know more about these turd mandalas in Rishakesh - is it from the natural shape of cow poop? Steve-o and I once had a great cow trip at this park in the Hayward hills - I briefly found "the answers" after staring for awhile at a cow pattie. All which is touted as so profound can be found in the profane if one knows how to look (personally, I squint my eyes a little, and, oh yeah, don't forget about the fungus among us on TOP of the cow patties!).

Seriously though, after that trip to the hillz, I realized that nothing really is profane unless we label it so - nothing profound until realized as such.

"Defiled or immaculate
increasing or decreasing -
these concepts exist only in our minds.
The reality of interbeing is unsurpassed." - Thich Nhat Hanh on using the toilet.

We're bubbling on the top 100...

HO: It was something that one of the other students brought up in a discusssion with a Yogi who was teaching us Yoga at the ashram. Apparently he had seen a turd mandala in tibetan art. I've not seen that. But I seem to remember something in Taoism about that... ah, my memory, was it Chuang Tzu? Anyone else remember what I might be talking about?

RF: If it's a turd, it has a cherry on top. I never go so far to put cherries on top of my turds (there's another quote for you all :p ).

SP: uh, no.... that's not what I meant.

WC: Now don't misquote me. That's not fair game. I throw out so many incriminating statements here, you needn't resort to fabrication.

SLL: Thanks bud! And don't you be knockin' nacho-smothered ninjettes until you've tried it.

KL: And it'll work again. I'm on a freakin' roll, dude. :cool:

Dear Mr. GeneChing:

Nay, I will not quote you in my signature. However, your quote above has given me an exquisite mental image of the "Got qi?" girl. You have just made my day, sir, and for that I owe you infinite gratitude.

Sincerely not shooting from the hip,

I'm making calls to japan right now but they keep on refering me to Soft On Demand porno company :(. av starlets would be cool, but i want REAL NINJA WOMAN!!!! :o

[herb ox]

mmmmmm....


naaaaaachos!


Ninjettes and nacho cheese - what could be better?


I'd say if it weren't for the nacho smothered ninjettes, this thread would have taken a turd for the worse!

h.o.

[GeneChing]

DMK: Always happy to make someone's day. BTW, I saw that Shaolin Monk vs. TKD champ footage. It was very enjoyable. Thanks for the tip!

SLL: Those ninjas, they tap phone lines. Besides, you don't want the Japanese ninjettes. Japanese don't like cheese. In fact, when Dominos pizza went into Japan, they removed the cheese (and added octopus as a topping). You got to get the American ninjettes for the nacho sauce. You gotta get Lucinda (http://www.lucinda****ey.com/SITEMAP.html) :p

HO: You need that ultrabright orange nacho sauce or you can't see the ninjettes at night, doncha know?

Well, that's not really a good quote. It's a little bit too obvious. You have to dig for the real gold.

link doesnt work. it has a **** word. i tried for 5 minutes but i couldnt think of the right word :(

[Serpent]

Could it be this:

:confused:

BTW - link won't work - copy and paste.

[herb ox]

yep, I thought I recognized her... Breakin' - waaaaay back in the 80's... it was really her suprise apperance on Perry Mason that made me hot for her tho...:rolleyes:

seriously though, it makes me dream of those bunchy legwarmers... [theme to "Flashdance" thumping in the background] any chance of our ninjettes wearing some florescent pink legwarmers?


my question is this, however - do guys who appreciate the fashion of the 80's (as worn by girls, of course!... sheesh!) have a tendency to wear the "shaolin socks" because of some sort of subliminal association with legwarmers worn by hot 80's chicky-babes like Olivia Newton John, Lucinda ****ey and Dana Plato?

somt'n to chew on... :p

yep as soon as i saw it i was like BREAKIN and BREAKIN2!!!! man those movies sucked! :D but they were okay back in the day or if you were under 10.

nah gene i need my ninja women right from the heart of the rising sun. :D

[GeneChing]

That's great - our forum censors ****ey but not turd and crap. Go figure. The forum censors are automatic - I can adjust them manually but I've found that it's funnier not to. Alas, poor Lucinda.

Ninja III the domination was the greatest ninja movie ever (except maybe for You only live twice, but that was Bond so it was on a totally different level). All I know was that I drank a lot of V8 after that movie. That scene would have been better if it were nacho sauce...

I'm missing something here.

[GeneChing]

Lucinda's three best scenes in Ninja III were: 1. when she gets possessed by the ninja sword and gets a new hairdo. 2. when she climbs a tree at the golf course. 3. the V8 scene. The V8 scene was the best. I loved that movie. It makes me giggle just to think about it. Alas, Lucinda, where are you now?

BTW, this was sent to me by our copy editor in regards to this thread: nacho-sauced ninjette (http://www.1find2.com/postcard/pictures/BG_ninjette6.jpg)
