This guy set up a user id with a valid e-mail address, activated it, then signed on to our forum, and started posting.  He's not on the list of members because we axed him. We had the forum set up so that a new user could activate their account by themselves as long as they had a valid e-mail address.  This eliminated spam bots, but not the creeps.  Right now new forum members are not allowed until we get the forum permissions set so they can't send out PMs like this again.

And I know what you mean, I have memberships to other ma forums too (I'm a lurker everywhere :wink:) and have been getting this from other forums.

« on: October 28, 2006, 04:08:52 PM »
Many apologies for the latest round of spam on our forums.  We reset the forum to mandate approval by one of our administrators BEFORE a new user is activated.  This will hopefully cut down on the amount of crap these jerks get through. 

Again, apologies...

I found the reference while doing a random google search.  Since we've been on vacation, it'll probably be next week before we have more information.

Subject: Three management lessons

Here are three management lessons for the day. Situation: An eagle was
sitting on a tree and doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and
asked, "Can I also sit on my ass, like you, and do nothing?" The eagle
answered, "Sure, why not." So the rabbit sat on the ground, below the
eagle, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox jumped on the rabbit and ate
it.

Management Lesson One: To be sitting on your ass doing nothing, you must
be sitting very high up.



Situation:  A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to get to
the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I don't have the
energy." "Why don't you nibble on my manure droppings?" replied the
bull. "They're packed with nutrients." The turkey pecked at the manure
and found it actually gave him strength to reach the lowest branch of
the tree. The next day, after pecking more dung, he reached the second
branch. Finally, after the fourth day, the turkey was proudly perched at
the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot him out
of the tree.

Management Lesson Two:  Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't
keep you there.



Situation:  A bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold that
the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While lying
there, a cow came by and dropped dung on it. As the frozen bird lay in
the pile of dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was
actually thawing him out. He lay there all warm and happy and soon began
to sing for joy.  A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to
investigate.  Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the
pile of cow dung and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Management Lesson Three: (1) Not everyone who shits on you is your
enemy. (2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend. (3)
When you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut.

Martial Arts Topics / November Gathering Of The Pack
« on: October 20, 2005, 08:59:13 PM »
A Howl of Greeting:

 The rhythm of the seasons is with us and its time for the "Winter Dog Brothers Gathering of the Pack".

On behalf of the Council of Elders of the Dog Brothers, Dog Brothers Inc. Martial Arts hereby cordially invites you to its "Dog Brothers Winter Gathering of the Pack" at 11:00 AM on Sunday, November 20, 2005 at the RAW Gym in El Segundo to conclude when the fighters are done.

 Many of you may remember our Gatherings held in the park in  Hermosa Beach, which, although they were hosted at considerable expense, were always free to you our friends, our guests.  However with a private facility involved we now need to charge admission of $10.  We ask that you still consider yourselves to be our friends and our guests.   In this context we ask that you respect our wishes in the matter of Video.

It is very simple:

 NO VIDEO CAMERAS, NO DUAL PURPOSE CAMERAS (i.e. with both still photo and video capabilities).  THIS MATTER IS OF IMPORTANCE TO US!   And, if you see someone videoing, please don't let them abuse our hospitality-please let us know.

 As always, you may take photographs for personal, non-commercial use PROVIDED you give us a complete set of the ones you take.  Thanks to the increasing numbers of you who actually remember and bother to do this! It is very much appreciated!


 The Magic Words:

 The MAGIC WORDS: "No judges, no referees, no trophies. One rule only: Be friends at the end of the day. This means our goal is that no one spends the night in the hospital. Our goal is that everyone leaves with the IQ with which they came. No suing no one for no reason for nothing no how no way! Real Contact Stickfighting is Dangerous and only you are responsible for you. Protect yourself at all times. All copyright belongs to Dog Brothers Inc. CA law applies."

 This matter of accepting the risk applies to those of you in the crowd too. For example, sticks, and fights for that matter, may go flying into the crowd.  Parents should consider things like this in deciding whether a child
is old enough to bring along and/or deciding on from where to observe the event.  For example, sitting on the heavy bags ringing the fighting area is a really risky idea for a child (or adult for that matter).  If a stick or a fight comes careening your way-get out of the way!

At each Gathering there is a different focus.  For the knife fights, there will be some surprise rules.  And for the stick (and other weapons too!) we encourage people to hide knives and bring them into play during the fight.  

Remember that you may fight with weapons other than a stick if you can find someone willing to go against you.  Please consider stick and knife (aluminum blades OK with us) fights, staff fights, and anything else.  In order to more deeply explore certain variables, fighters may agree to "no grappling" rules.  In staff fights, the fighters may wear wrestling type ear guards under the fencing masks.
 
There is no charge for fighters but FIGHTERS MUST PRE-REGISTER, even if they have fought before.  The Fighter's Registration form can be found on the website.  If you are a member of the Dog Brothers tribe an email or phone call will suffice.  For all Fighter Registration matters, please contact Cindy at Prettykitty@dogbrothers.com 310-540-6853.  You are not pre-registered until your name appears on the list of registered fighters on the website!!!

If you have fought before and show up without having pre-registered there will be a $20 fee.  We REALLY, REALLY, REALLY don't like having to deal with this on such a busy day so please do both you and us a favor and pre-register.  If you haven't fought before and you show up without having pre-registered, you will not be allowed to fight.  This will be ruthlessly enforced!

Thanks to Ally Yang for the photos.


It should be noted that except for the first few group photos all the photos currently in the gallery were shot by Ally and made web-ready in PhotoShop by Gints.  I've received a bunch more but they need to be worked over in PhotoShop.  Shooting photography at R1 is always a challenge due to poor lighting.  Ally and Gints spent a lot of time working on this set and we really appreciate it!

John O'Reilly hoisted his beer and said, "Here's to spending the rest
of me life, between the legs of me wife!"

That won him the top prize at the pub for the best toast of the night!
He went home and told his wife, Mary, "I won the prize for the best
toast of the night."

She said, "Aye, did ye now. And what was your toast?"

John said, "Here's to spending the rest of me life, Sitting in church
beside me wife."

"Oh, that is very nice indeed, John!" Mary said.

The next day, Mary ran into one of John's drinking buddies on the
street corner.

The man chuckled leeringly and said, "John won the prize the other
night at the pub with a toast about you, Mary."

She said, "Aye, he told me, and I was a bit surprised meself. You know,
he's only been there twice in the last four years. Once he fell asleep,
and the other time I had to pull him by the ears to make him come.."

Puns for Intellectuals

1.. Two vultures boarded a plane, each carrying two dead raccoons.
Thestewardess stops them and says "sorry sir, only onecarrion per passenger."

2.. NASA recently sent a number of Holsteins into orbit for experimental
purposes. They called it the herd shot round the world.

3.. Two boll weevils grew up in S Carolina. One took off to Hollywood and became a rich star.
The other stayed in Carolina and never amounted to much--and naturally became known
as the lesser of two weevils

4.. Two Eskimos in a kayak were chilly, so they started a fire, which sank
the craft, proving the old adage you can't have your kayak and heat it too.

5.. A 3-legged dog walks into an old west saloon,
slides up to the bar and announces, "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw."

6.. Did you hear about the Buddhist who went to
the dentist, and refused to take Novocain? He wanted to transcend dental medication.

7.. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel, and met in the lobby where
they were discussing their recent victories in chess tournaments
The hotel manager came out of the office after an hour, and asked them to
disperse. He couldn't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.

8.. A women has twins, gives them up for adoption. One goes to an Egyptian
family and is named "Ahmal" The other is sent to a Spanish family and is
named "Juan". Years later, Juan sends his birth mother a picture of himself.
Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband she wishes she also had a
picture of Ahmal. He replies, "They're twins for Pete sake! If you've seen
Juan, you've see Ahmal!"

9.. A group of friars opened a florist shop to help with their belfry
payments. Everyone liked to buy flowers from the Men of God, so their
business flourished. A rival florist became upset
that his business was suffering because people felt compelled to buy from
the Friars, so he asked the Friars to cut back hours or close down. The Friars refused. The florist
went to them and begged that they shut down. Again, they refused. Therefore,
the florist hired Hugh McTaggert, the biggest meanest thug in town. He went
to the Friars' shop, beat them up, destroyed their flowers, trashed their
shop, and said that if they did not close, he would be back. Well, very
terrified, the Friars closed up shop and hid in their rooms. This proved
that Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.

10.. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot his whole life, which
created an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little,
which made him frail, and with his odd diet, he suffered from very bad
breath. This made him ....what? (This is so bad it's
good...)--a super-callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

11.. Finally, ...there once was a woman who sent ten puns to some friends
in hopes at least one of the puns would make them laugh. Unfortunately no pun in ten did.
