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...

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

Well ello there! I am sooo happy to see you!

Helena Ember Sky said...

Derek, I had another random thought... If all the magical community died out from some sort of disease and only Valkyrie survived. She would be REALLY lonely!

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

Sorry I am in a strange mood

Anonymous said...

Hi Derek,

so great you could make it to Adelaide and I'm not alone in saying that everyone who came thoroughly enjoyed the show (and it was a show Derek, in the best possible way). Your humour, wit and ability to make everyone laugh and think was worth the price of admission (yeah I know it was a free event). So thanks again from everyone at Cabra College, Adelaide, please come again and check out our blog post about your Cabra visit.

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

Helena, hi! I discovered today that I would be very bad in crisis. I just panic and yeah. I almost faint I am so squeamish, not could of blood, but because I just keep thinking about it and anyway, sorry about that.

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

Okay person who is not there, does that mean I am alone??

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

Oh no! Dinner! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Eve the ROCK said...

Helena Ember Sky said...

Helena Ember Sky said...

Anonymous said...

Helena Ember Sky said...

Sorry, I don't know Miss Sorrows.

Lynxia Lost said...

Morning Blogland!! I have returned from Devon!!!

Lynxia Lost said...

And I think I am possibly maybe the only on here...

Eve the ROCK said...

Lynxia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*hugzzzz*

Lynxia Lost said...

*hugs back* Alas, I am not alone!!!! Heyzzz Eve!! How's you?!

Nixion Strange said...

HELLO!!

Lynxia Lost said...

Hi-ho Nix!!

Mayan said...

Hiya!

Lynxia Lost said...

Hello Romana!!

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Maya!

Nixion Strange said...

Beeepide boopido

Lynxia Lost said...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! *runs around screaming* Nix has been replaced with a robot!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nixion Strange said...

Sorry, my account randomly signed out, and I needed to say something so I could put my password back in

Mayan said...

I no speak robot! *signs madly*

Lynxia Lost said...

Oh good. *peers at Nix* You sure you're not a robot? *pokes*

Nixion Strange said...

Um, if I said yes, would I live?

Lynxia Lost said...

Hi Harmony!!

Possibly...

Nixion Strange said...

Hello name changer

Possibly? What would you say if I said I was a robot?

Lynxia Lost said...

It's not what I'd say, i's what I'd do. I don't trust robots like PewDie doesn't trust statues...

Eve the ROCK said...

I'm pretty goose! I haven't seen you in so LONG! :P

Nixion Strange said...

Pewdie doesn't trust BARRELS!!!

Mayan said...

Hey Dew!
Of course we would let you live!
Blogland is an accepting community and not at all prejudiced.

Eve the ROCK said...

Get Up In The Morning is the weirdest song EVER...

Nixion Strange said...

Never heard that song Eve

Eve the ROCK said...

Oh, wow, people!

Hi Nix! Hi Maya! Hi Harmony!

Eve the ROCK said...

Heard of Chiddy Bang? Those are the rappers, but the chorus is whacky :P

Lynxia Lost said...

Haven't seen you in ages either Eve!!!!!!!!

Yes, Nix, but every time he sees a statue he says 'I don't trust you' and in the very first episode of Amnesia he says he has never trusted statues.

Nixion Strange said...

But... STEPHANO!

Mayan said...

Hi Eve!
Listening to "Just can't get enough" "Boys like you" and "Smile"
I like their voices...

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

I have to leave now, I know its annoying, bye!!

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

I am not a cats half uncle.

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

Sorry, goodbye!

Lynxia Lost said...

Watch the first Amnesia playlist, Nix. He throws Stephano and Mr Chair because he hasn't become friends with them yet and he doesn't hate barrels yet because they haven't spoken to the bro in the first few episodes. It's weird.

Nixion Strange said...

*pats arm*
Sure you're not
Bye Name changer!

Lynxia Lost said...

Bye Harmony!

Nixion Strange said...

I've only ever watched the first playlist. Never watched any other Amnesia.

Mayan said...

Bye Dew!
Have fun being 1/2 an uncle!

Lynxia Lost said...

What, all of the original walk through? Then you should know he has never trusted statues. It's first episode!! The custom stories are better though. Especially the My Little Pony one!!

Nixion Strange said...

Yeah, but after a while, he trusts them, because somehow they're all Stephano, though mostly the gold ones. BARRELS!
Yep, watch all of the orignal

AGH! I want to watch the custom stories, but in order and I can't find the order

Mayan said...

Noooooooooooooo!
Attack of the my little ponys!!!!!!!
Run, my good friends, run while you still can!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*runs away screaming*

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye Harmony!

Lynxia Lost said...

I was on about the suits of armour.

There is no order. Each one has it's own playlist (I think) and click play all and they're in order. I love the episode 'Stephano gets kidnapped'!!

Nixion Strange said...

Nah, they don't have a playlist

Lynxia Lost said...

Gimme a sec, I'll find it for you.

Anyone wanna read a snippet?

Mayan said...

Yes please!

Mayan said...

Though I do not know what you are talking about...

Nixion Strange said...

I'm always up for snippets
Oh, and did you read any of the new stuff on my blog Lynx?

Lynxia Lost said...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R32TaD79U50&list=PL63AA5F222E21CE9E&feature=plcp

That's the first one in the longest playlist. ^^

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL63AA5F222E21CE9E&feature=plcp

That's the playlist. ^^

Lynxia Lost said...

BTW, the is set before I know Nix.


"I'm not going in there."
"Yes you are." I replied.
"No, seriously, I'm not. It's a school for God's sake." Nix said angrily.
"Yeah, but you're the one who said they were contacting the school." I pointed out.
Nix stammered for a bit trying to form a sentence or retort. "But- I- You- Can't I- Why don't you go?!"
I sighed. "I can't go in. I'm wanted in both our world and the mortal's."
"I'm a killer too, you know." he said.
"Yes, but now you work with the Sanctuary - don't deny it, you do - so your record has been wiped. I, however, laugh at the Sanctuaries and so they keep my record and try to follow me closely. You're going in."
He grabbed my wrists. "I'm not going in."
I pulled away and glared at him. "Do you wanna get Zath back or not?"
"Honestly? Sometimes he can get really annoying so I'm sure I could live."
I rolled my eyes. "So trustworthy..."
"Fine, I go in but on what condition." he said.
I glared at him suspiciously. "... What is it?"
"You come in with me."
"I've already told you, I can't and why would I any..." I trailed off as Nix held up my Necromancer bracelet and smirked.
I looked at my left wrist. My skull bracelet and black beaded one were still there but the silver one was gone and now in Nix's hand.
I gave him a look of pure hatred. "You're a dick, you know that?"
He smirked a little too smugly after that.

I shall read it now, Nix.

Nixion Strange said...

*frowns*
I love it and all, but I thought no one could take anything necromancer without permission

Lynxia Lost said...

I have no idea Nix, I know you can'y use it without permission but I think taking is okay.

Lynxia Lost said...

*can't

Nixion Strange said...

Yokay

Lynxia Lost said...

I like them Nix!! Especially Screams of Magic and I thought Bullets are Not Our Friends was good too!!

Mayan said...

@Lynxia
What blog is the rest of that story on?

Nixion Strange said...

Cool
Whatcah thing of Heroes of the Super Variety?

Lynxia Lost said...

There's only a bit so far but it's on the Bubble aka my blog.

http://bubblesforblood.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/in-beginning-chapter-1.html

Lynxia Lost said...

I thought it was good Nix!! I think all your stuff is good but I preferred the Screams of Magic thing, it's more... Intriguing.

Lynxia Lost said...

Hmm... Do I write or watch PewDie?

Nixion Strange said...

I'ma watching PewDiePie
I should write, but the uh, creative juices aren't flowing. Sure, I'll go with that

Lynxia Lost said...

I can't be bothered to write at the moment so I think I'll just watch PewDie until something else pops into my head.

Mayan said...

Hank-tay! You-ay!

Nixion Strange said...

be back soon

Lynxia Lost said...

Huh?!

Lynxia Lost said...

Ok Nix! (that huh was to Romana btw)

Mayan said...

Bye Nix!
Pig latin Lynxia :)
First letter to the end of the word and add "ay" to the end.

Lynxia Lost said...

Of course it is Romana...
*backs away*

Mayan said...

*Evil-ay Augh-lay*

Lynxia Lost said...

If you're using pig Latin, you spelt evil wrong! Ha!!!!

Mayan said...

That above rule doesn't apply if the word starts with a vowel :P

Mayan said...

If the word starts with a vowel you just add "ay" young grasshopper :)

Lynxia Lost said...

You missed that out, didn't you. You shouldn't teach pig Latin.

Mayan said...

*bows head shamefully*
I resign as a pig-latin teacher!

Lynxia Lost said...

Excellent... Soon I shall seek my revenge upon Pignius Rex, I shall regret the day he scorned me!! *laughs maniacally*

Lynxia Lost said...

Well, I discovered the other day that the substitute history teacher who told me Lynxia was an ancient goddess of time from son South American clans was probably lying. I can't find any references to a goddess Lynxia and only males seem to be the ones in control of time.

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...
