hey if it works, use it.
Smearing is a psychotic disorder, you know. I've worked with a patient that smeared. That's just so nasty. Wasn't it Steve Martin that built a comic schtick on crapping on your money to put off muggers? Of course, that puts off everyone. So there's a point when it's survival and a point when it's just antisocial. Somehow, given that you've got a facial tat, I can't imagine being antisocial is a major hang up of yours.

But back OT, check this out elavenil: Drunken Monkey Kungfu. Chiu Chung Yat is from Hong Kong, so that's a lead if you go there.
