I did play it M_ArtsMargie.
Gene. I No_Know Quest except for a video or Older game series (King's Quest). However, I look forward to whatever it might be. :-)
We should charge for the meaningful conversations. I think the going rate for that kind of service is $.99 a minute.;)
Besides, drooling over girls you will never meet is what the forum is all about.:p
Here I am prepared with a bucket and a towel - I have a feeling this crowd will really start drooling once we start some very deep conversations. Anyone see the show on Galileo last night? :-)Quote:

Revolving heavenly bodies - Now *That* is something to drool over.
1-900-555-GENE <----This is what will start the ladies drooling!
If anyone has educated opinions on the competitive landscape of the infoimaging industry, please speak up. The comoditization of digital photography is bound to shake out the players not nimble enough to compete in this arena of quick technological change. <Ohhh Baby....this is really getting exciting.>
All in fun,

Gene's First
P.S. I actually visited Galileo's grave in Italy - it was rather interesting.
My dog was named Galileu, but we called him Gaga cos it was easier. He was smart and cool and stuff. He had only one eye due to an accident, i loved that dog.
Hey - That is neat! What a wonderful name for a dog! I was going to name my cat Schrodinger, but it was too long of a name.
:-) Glad to know that there are other martial artists who like science too!
F=ma <---I use this a lot since I have less mass than most martial artists, I focus on acceleration for my force.
Yup - like PR skills , after all, flexibility is essential to be a good martial artist. :-)Quote:

I was studying physics at the university (this before getting into any MA) but then i quit it. Now i will try to get into veterinary :cool:
Its kinda funny, isnt it?
We're giving away 9 prizes in the next issue (Jan/Feb 2003) including 4 Bruce Lee Xbox games. Good luck.
Gene, Got Qi girls, you will be happy to know that I asked for a subscription to KFQG and a shirt off of www.martialartsmart.com for X-Mas. Your jobs are just that much safer.
Bucket and towel, eh? Now I remember when I showed you my copy of the Heart of Jackie and gave you a towel. You jumped back like a scared kitten, but once you opened that book, well, let's just say I needed to get another towel.
(For those of you who have never seen it, Heart of Jackie was a little hardbound book that came with his music CD. It had pics of Jackie in all these teen beat style heartthrob poses - stuff like Jackin in the shower from behind, Jackie wearing ONLY a t-shirt, Jackie lying in the surf with his pants undone. You got to remember that Jackie is a major heartthrob, especially to Japanese girls. One even killed herself for Jackie and a few others tried. Japanese girls have a lot to cope with I guess.)
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Now I hope you've been a good boy so Santa brings you what you desire...
:) Just wanted to give everyone a smile with the hello. And say Happy Halloween to all.
Gene***you little devil:D !
Genes First****Thank you. The Got Qi Crew has got to stay together. :)
Serpent****ke ke ke :p
Xesball****not funny at all. It is normal for people to start doing one thing, and then all of a sudden switch.
WOW****Thanks alot KC Elbows. You are now the man who set an example to everyone! You Go!
"Now I hope you've been a good boy so Santa brings you what you desire..."
You haven't read my posts closely, have you?:D
Fortunately, Santa in this case is my lovely wife, and she goes more for badness anyway.:eek: :eek:
Don't let the cat out of the bag.
And I do read you posts. Yours are some of my favs. If santa busts us for naughty posts, well, I guess I won't be getting my pony for Xmas.:(
"And I do read you posts. Yours are some of my favs. If santa busts us for naughty posts, well, I guess I won't be getting my pony for Xmas."
To quote Lenny Bruce in the Lone Ranger Sketch:
"Whaddya need the horse for?"
And thanks for the compliment. Sometimes I worry that I bring the off topic ratio too high, but hey, I'm the lone tai hui guy here, and there's only so long I can talk to myself about that, so I start causing trouble.
Margie, do you guys still have the GotQi key chains around there that look like boxing gloves? I'm seriously obsessed with getting another one of those things, my cat never had so much fun. She did some serious kung fu on those puppies. I'm willing to send all the change in my penny jar, I think there's some in there. Gene won't hook me up, I think he's bogarting them for himself.:D
Has KFQG ever done a fiction section?
With your kind of online time, you should be one of our moderators.
To answer your question, we don't do fiction. We did run a comic strip that started out as sort of a historical/mythological thing, but the evolved into fiction. It was the longest running comic strip in a martial arts mag, but we eventually let it go.
Frankly, most martial artists can't even write non-fiction articles, so to ask for decent fiction is a bit too much. And I don't think it's what our readers are looking for anyway.
:D
Actually, my work system is often on KFO. We're in a lull here, but I can't leave my desk at the same time, so I have to find things to occupy myself. Generally, it's writing, researching, and forum hopping. It's somewhat maddening, as I'm a bit of a workaholic. It's a weird situation, where I'm needed, but because I do a good job, I'm not needed this month, but if anything happened, they'd need me right away. Frankly, it's driving me batty. I've been stealing other people's projects, but I've been doing this work for a long time, so it really doesn't occupy my time. What's really sad is at least once a week, they need me to stay late and do nothing, in case something happens. Corporate insanity. Why'd I ever leave construction?
Yeah, I can definitely see what you're saying about the fiction thing. I started working on stories for Cyberkwoon, and ended up with three when I only meant to write one. I'm not sure what I was thinking, as it's a pretty small market, but hey, it was fun.
If the moderator thing was one of those subtle hints I always miss, I'm gonna miss it. I'm really thinking about going back into construction, I might have a job lined out that would continue all through winter, and I very rarely get online at home, so I'd hate to take something up only to drop it in a short time.
A veterinary degree will complement kung fu animal styles very well. Just think, most masters were skilled in healing arts as well as martial arts, so your studies in and out of the university are great complements. Fantastic!Quote:

As for you Gene - no fair bringing up Jackie in the conversation! You still need to take me along when you interview him someday!!!! Shaking his hand was the best experience!
Hi Margie - Goooo Got Qi Girls! :-) :cool:
Happy Halloween to all!
BOOO!
You've actually asked him more questions then I ever have. I met him once very fleetingly at the SF premeire of Rumble, but that's it.
If we could get Jackie Chan, that would be.....great...!!!!!!:D
Hello,
I have nothing to say, but I'm sure this is going to be the longest thread in KFM's history, and I just wanted it documented that I was part of it.
You may carry on now......................;)
Be a part of history? I'll drink to that!
I really don't have say about this thread, but I thought I contribute anyway, so I can be part of the longest thread ever and guess what, I have no idea how this relevant to Kungfu! Best of all, I have no idea what is going on in this thread, from girls to cats and dogs..but, hey it's cool everyones enjoying it and I think that is the most important thing.
hey its not the longest thread ever, do a search on Li Lian Jie and have a look at THAT thread! :cool: don't read all at once or you will grow 10 years older :D

At a high level of abstraction, this thread encapsulates modern day martial artist social views. The psychographics of martial artists are characterized by the seemingly random topics discussed on this thread. In other words, we are a strange breed~ with many interests and talents.Quote:

Long live the Got Qi Girls thread!
You'd be surprised at how many submissions we get for this sort of thing. It's seldom successful. I mean, name a good work of martial fiction? Movies don't count. But don't let that discourage you. You'll have to direct me to some of your writing. I'd love to check it out.
Jet is older. Some of our got qi girls weren't even born when Jet won his first tournament.
Well put Gene's first. I couldn't have put it better myself.:)

Gene's First/Gene,
could it be that this thread is an embodiment of the doaist in all of us? the random, accepting and flowing nature of this thread -- how it changes with each new stimulus and we in turn adapt to it -- is an example of this?
It's all about staying in the moment.
Design Sifu has got to get the award for the most obtuse www.martialartsmart.com plugs. Must be that dog mind.
Well isn't the question...

you guys should have watches that say "qi" on the face.
so when people ask "got qi"? you can say:
"yes, it's 12:45"
peace
boooooo
we all know it's a better marketing tool for lighters.
When I wear my got qi? shirt, people always ask me "what's kwee?" I generally reply that it's IQ backwards. Leaves them wondering if they should feel stupid or not...
I would've said "a small flightless bird found in new zealand" if someone asked me what kwee was. :D
peace
That's keewee, Kung Lek.
:rolleyes: Ignorance!

I thought it was kiwi, dude.
