Ronda Rousey and the Atomic Armbar

Sitting in my hotel room in Perth, on the only day off I have on this tour, two days of events left and then I go home, and I'm smiling like a loon because I've just watched the Rousey vs Kaufman fight.

For those of you who have read KOTW, you may remember the mention of a certain Ronda Rousey and her now-legendary armbars.

THIS is the type of woman I want my nieces to be like when they grow up.


And now I must go. I have a lot of work to do on my day off...

Gabriel said...

I don't want them to make a Skulduggery Pleasant movie....

I think it will ruin my imaginative image of the characters....

Gabriel said...

Hi!

Sir said...

Just a question, is everyone here absolutely bally bonkers?

Sir said...

Oh dear. It seems none of you are here, and I imagined you all. Well, I suppose that means I'M the mad one.

NOM Ominous said...

I'm lost. I need urgent help. I don't know anything, and I need a story outline. Maybe. Blllaaaaarrrrggghhh

Nixion Strange said...

Story outline
I'm your guy

NOM Ominous said...

Are you God? You remind me of. God.

NOM Ominous said...

Please help me nix! In any way you can! Even if it's not really help, and just some long boring speech or a walrus, I don't care I need someone to care.

Nixion Strange said...

Any general story outline or just anything?

NOM Ominous said...

What do you mean?

NOM Ominous said...

Any general story outline, I suppose, a walrus would really help me much, if that's what the latter ment

Nixion Strange said...

You said you wanted a story outline. Outline of what?

Nixion Strange said...

Anything. Right

Fan-fic or your own?

NOM Ominous said...

Oh damn....
What's the difference?

Nixion Strange said...

Fan-fic is based on a idea another author came up with, like SP

Your own is just any idea, a new idea

NOM Ominous said...

Right now I'm thinking of my own but I do have a couple of fanfics I don't know how to go about....

Nixion Strange said...

So... what do you want me to do?

NOM Ominous said...

At all just got two or three solid ideas for them. May even clash it all together it's so lame. May even forget about it

NOM Ominous said...

Ok.. Fanfic.

Nixion Strange said...

But if you have your own ideas, what do you want me to do?

NOM Ominous said...

Help with some sort of story outline? Isn't that what we were talking about?
And I haven't got many ideas. Just some weird ones. Yes, I have just decided that it will be one story. (I keep doing that, alternating between two and one, very dizzying) like two basic ideas that can carry intensely short stories, but with thier quality I think they can be part of something bigger. I'm annoyed.

Nixion Strange said...

So, you just want a completley new idea
You just confused me bringing up your own ideas

NOM Ominous said...

If you want to help we can do this over email and I can share my two very boring, yet somehow inspiring motives for trying to write a skulduggery fanfic, if you don't wish to be bothered I can understand that. If you can somehow help without my ideas then help away!

NOM Ominous said...

I'm sorry for the confusion, I understand it completely. When I am desperate like this, I often do that to others and me.

Nixion Strange said...

... Oh god, I have no idea...

NOM Ominous said...

Fine I'll just tell you my ideas, and you can gape, and sigh in pity, or if you by some chance like them...

NOM Ominous said...

Or we can do something else my brain is hurting from everything.

Nixion Strange said...

I dunno

NOM Ominous said...

Good. Now I feel like sharing them with you for no reason at all. You will find a strange looking email in your inbox soon, nix. You don't have to respond, you don't have to even acknoledge you got one. Because its content are quite insanely unremarkable, but I have to.

Jophiel said...

Hiya guys!

Jophiel said...

THRUST!

*Gives Thrust a big hug!*

Star Inkbright said...

HI PEOPLE!

Eve the ROCK said...

STARLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*throws purple bananas at her and hugs*

Jophiel said...

It's great! I read it last night!

Eve the ROCK said...

Coolalalalala

Jophiel said...

She reminds me of Clarabelle

Star Inkbright said...

Hi Death and Master!!!!! *rushes about madly burying the purple bananas*

Nixion Strange said...

... Just ignore me...

Jophiel said...

What is up with the purple bananas???

Star Inkbright said...

And Nix and Thrust! Sorry, I forgot about you coz you were already here . . .

Jophiel said...

I was waiting for you to say something Nix!


*Give Nix a big, BIG hug!*

NOM Ominous said...

Hi everyone, internet is unbroken. Just had to reset it, if that wasn't obvious enough.
DEATH! *hugs back*

Do I still have to check it out if I already have, eve?

Star Inkbright said...

Purple bananas are the proper bananas. Yellow bananas are just cheap copies.

Star Inkbright said...

*laughs* At one point on my holiday my whole family was saying "Praise the marvellous Eve" as they ate banana. That was a good moment.

NOM Ominous said...

Well said ink.
Has it been a while or what?!

Jophiel said...

Hey guys! Me and Billy Ray split up last night. I read his diary and it had something about him and China Sorrows in it! And just after I got on the bus to go home, away from Billy Ray's, Dexter Vex got on the bus and we started talking and now we are together!

HE IS SO SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jophiel said...

I just thought I'd get it out there. . .

Star Inkbright said...

IT'S BEEN A WHILE! I've just been on holiday for two weeks. I only came here once on holiday, and when I did I spent three hours reading comments made in my absence . . . Then when I got home yesterday, I spent seven hours reading comments. Me kids you not.

Star Inkbright said...

*laughs* Hope you're very happy together, Death.

Jophiel said...

Yeah, he's exactly my type! He is adventurous, sweet, a friend of Skulduggery's (which makes Cain unable to hurt me!), funny, awesome and he sings!

P.S. You don't want to know where Ghastly was with Francoise!


*Shudders*

Jophiel said...

Yes, Dexter told me.

Jophiel said...

And Dexter sang Train's newest one, "50 ways to say goodbye"

SWEET! HE NAILED IT!

Mayan said...

NOM Ominous said...

Thats really weird, nix.

I was planning on possbliy making an awesome Lego movie of star wars, and I fear they've possibly ruingped my chances at being original.
Things never work out for me today, school tomorrow. Bye guys!

Nixion Strange said...

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye Thrust!

Mayan said...

First?

Mayan said...

I feel as though I have meanly stolen the Dedication now though :/

Star Inkbright said...

And we went to Paris for the day whilst on my holiday. I can now proudly say that I have been up the Eiffel Tower. And I can even more proudly say that whilst we were walking down the Champs-Élysées, we saw a Swatch shop, and seeing as my Swatch watch had a broken strap, we popped on and got a new strap fitted. So I got my watch fixed on the Champs-Élysées. *smiles* Which to me seems incredibly cool.

Star Inkbright said...

Fours Thrust!

Jophiel said...

Do you guys want to read my story so far???

Mayan said...

Hey... your spouse changed
Okay!

Star Inkbright said...

I've read a load of it already, Death. Y'know, what you've pasted in the comments before. It's awesome. :)

Jophiel said...

I wont send the previous bit but the bit

Mayan said...

Hey Star?
Could you make one of those "keep calm ...." things to do with this sentence?
In Bk 1 when they are looking for clues
Skulduggery: Found something?
Tanith: "No, sorry, I thought I had, but, no, it turned out to be, uh... more floor "

Jophiel said...

“Thanks,” Death said, smiling.
“Oh! Hey, I thought you’d like to know, I have two new farm hands. One is called Fletcher Renn, the other is his friend; Eden Threatening. They are both teleporters, Fletcher was Valkyrie’s boyfriend for some time.”
Death looked shocked. Then enemy’s ex was working on my friend’s farm? She thought. What was he thinking? She shook her head to clear it. “Um. . . Okay,” She said slowly. “Where are they?”
Fire took out his fire red mobile phone and dialed. Suddenly, two figures stepped out of thin air. One was an older man, about the age of sixteen, had blonde hair and looked like he would belong in Australian model magazine. God was he cute! The younger man was just over fifteen. He had blondish-brownish hair and blue eyes. He had a familiar face; like the kid on the plane and in her dream.
She narrowed her eyes in suspicion, making sure she wasn’t glaring and asked, “Do I know you?”
He looked at Death, shocked. “No! Of course not!” He answered too quickly.
Liar, Death thought.
“Hello, enemy of my ex.” Fletcher said, smiling.
“Oh, well I wouldn’t say that. . .” Death trailed off uncomfortable under the three pairs of human eyes and Tornado’s piercing stare.
“Oh, any enemy of my ex is a friend of mine.” Fletcher laughed, a cheerful sound and Death thought he actually meant it. “Hey! Don’t look at me like that!” Fletcher laughed at Death’s expression. She glared at a fence pole and it cracked. Fletcher’s laughed died out quickly and he gulped. “I. . . I think I’m gonna go back to work now. Hey Eden; go show Death where all Tornado’s stuff is.” And with that, he disappeared into thin air.

Jophiel said...

It looked like Demon Fire had built a few new stables and barns. There was a red barn with white trim that had all Tornado’s equipment in it. Death ran her hand over his saddle lovingly. She sighed and couldn’t hold this question in any longer. “How do I know you?”
He stared back; unsure. “You. . . You don’t know me.” He said and Death was certain that he said something like; she’s not supposed to remember! How can she?
Death tilted her head to the side, listening to his quick heart beat thudding loudly in the quiet barn.

Mayan said...

*Claps*
I enjoyed it Death!

Star Inkbright said...

Mysteriousssssss . . .

And, Maya? I'll try.

Jophiel said...

YAY!

Mayan said...

Thank you!!!
Thats one of favourite lines. I started laughing...in a silent library...where nobody was talking...and they looked at me strangely.

Mayan said...

WEDDING, BOW, RAT O__0

Mayan said...

Moffat...

Mayan said...

Bow = bowtie






Hopefully :')

Helena Ember Sky said...

I think it's the Doctor. The Doctor has had a wedding, he wears a bow tie and... I'm not sure about the rat...

I don't actually think it's the Doctor. I think the bow is the violin bow.

Mayan said...

Hey Helena!
Or maybe bow as in at the end of a play.
I don't really think it is about the doctor. But I really want it to be *smiles sadly*

Harmony Dew (aka a Nac mac feegle) said...

SORRY I keep getting sidetracked by music. Darn you song......

Harmony Dew (aka a Nac mac feegle) said...

Mayan said...

I am listening to this random person on youtube say foods in spanish.

Mayan said...

Harmony Dew (aka a Nac mac feegle) said...

Mayan said...

http://www.keepcalm-o-matic.co.uk/p/keep-calm-and-worship-the-marvelous-eve/
I thought the tree kinda looked like a rock...

Star Inkbright said...

*looks at Eve* And you had to say that just as I finished my two banana-related ones, didn't you?

Here they are. Newest post.

Mayan said...

Bye DEw!

Star Inkbright said...

Fours Pixie!

*looks at Maya* That kinda makes the hours I spend painting my keep calms look pointless

Star Inkbright said...

DAMN! Why it no hyperlink?

Click on this if it hyperlinks.

Star Inkbright said...

*sighs* Okay. keepcalmandmakedigiart.blogspot.com

The newest post.

Mayan said...

When you said paint I though you meant,like, by hand... haha
Very nice banananess
Do you feel bad eating bananas?

Mayan said...

Helena you still there?
Why are you cross?

Helena Ember Sky said...

I'm cross because I didn't meet Derek. *crosses arms*

Mayan said...

Oh...
That's a pretty good reason
But I thought you're in Australia?

Star Inkbright said...

I feel banany eating bananas.

Mayan said...

But the bananas die when you eat them???

Helena Ember Sky said...

I AM in Australia. In Canberra. THE CAPITAL!

Star Inkbright said...

She is. But he didn't come to Canberra.

I didn't meet Derek either, Hel.

Star Inkbright said...

They don't die when I eat them. They get eaten because they nobly sacrifice themselve to the cause of keeping me alive.

. . . However, if they get destroyed from other means than eating, it is MURDER!!!!!!!!

Mayan said...

*hands Helena and Star cute remenants in glass panda jars* Why did he not go to the capital?????? THIS MAKES NO SENSE
Eve how else can you destroy bananas?

Mayan said...

Does frying them count as murder (as in banana split???)

Helena Ember Sky said...

*hugs Star* We can be sorrowful together.

Star Inkbright said...

Not if you eat them after you fry them.

Mayan said...

lol China... Sorrows :D

Helena Ember Sky said...

I KNOW Romantic, it's MADNESS!

Nixion Strange said...

Hel, maybe there are less SP readers there then any other part of the country

Mayan said...

Hey Nix!
THere aren't many minions in NZ. Just Dew, Llama-ness and me.

Nixion Strange said...

Minons on the blog, you mean
And those are only ones on the blog that you know

Mayan said...

Hmmmmm Dedication...

Helena Ember Sky said...

There are MANY SP readers. Thanks mostly to me...

But there are HEAPS.

Mayan said...

In my school there are a GIANT total of........................
5 minions!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jophiel said...

Hi! I'm back, Only for a few minutes! I'll be on twenty minutes after that though!






P.S. If your name is Eden Threatening, please wait and enjoy waffles!


####################################################################################################


P.S.S I hate China Sorrows! She stole my boyfriend!!!!!!!!

Nixion Strange said...

There were over 500 booked at my event in Melbourne
Do you have that many?

Mayan said...

Yo Death.

Helena Ember Sky said...

I don't think even that many people LIVE in Canberra.













Joking, but lol no.

Helena Ember Sky said...

I never say 'lol' but that just HAD to go there.

Mayan said...

At the event I went to there was about 100ish I think. I couldn't tell
Did you watch life in the dreamhouse
Helena :D???

Nixion Strange said...

be back soon

Helena Ember Sky said...

NO Romantic! I really want to! I can't at the moment because of our download limit though...

Eve the ROCK said...

SLAUGHTERHOUSE!!!

Maya, you may never destroy a banana. Only I can sacrifice a banana, and my Servants can when I order them to.

Mayan said...

Bye Nix

Eve the ROCK said...

By the way Star, it's your turn to write a chapter for Pleasant Dae in Dublin! :D

Mayan said...

If you leave the first word out of "life in the dreamhouse " it sounds like sci-fi
Eve Once I froze a banana. Is that cruel?

Mayan said...

I dedicate to hope that one day every bloglandian will get to meet the Golden God. There!

Mayan said...

GTG Byeeee!
I will try to come back though...

Helena Ember Sky said...

YAY! *hugs Romantic*

Star Inkbright said...

*moans* Me know, Master.

Jophiel said...

Nix? You were at Melb?
I was there too! I had a fluro orange bag!

Jophiel said...

Did you dress up???

Eve the ROCK said...

Freezing a banana is not cruel. Goodbye, Maya!

Jophiel said...

I've burnt a banana and then throw it at a car. Is that cruel?

Jophiel said...

Bya Evie!

Star Inkbright said...

*gasps in horror* HOW COULD YOU BE SO CRUEL, DEATH?

Jophiel said...

I'm Death. I give people and inanimate objects it.








Is it a good time to tell you that the banana got run over a few times and then I kicked it???
