Did you find the invisible history of Kiki in the equipment room yet?

There were posts all over campus that the UP 7-11 was robbed last month. Did we have any UH Commits in for a visit?

Nope. That loss in Houston kept the Coogs from playing in the C-USA title game. Same type thing happened vs. UTEP as well.

Do you find it ironic that this historical thread was bumped by two historically-named posters?

Samurai Stang, would you consider the following to be a work of great cultural importance?

In China there was once a man who liked pictures of dragons, and his clothing and furnishings were all designed accordingly. His deep affection for dragons was brought to the attention of the dragon god, and one day a real dragon appeared before his window. It is said that he died of fright. He was probably a man who always spoke big words but acted differently when facing the real thing.
- Yamamoto Tsunetomo

I believe this person is much the same as the Chinese man, except instead of a dragon, she calls out to a tradition she does not truly understand.

How about instead of dragons, we use White Horses named Shadowfax, Hobbits and Orcs? That might help this person understand better.

Do you consider receiving abuse without responding strange? What would you do in the context of bushido in this situation?

Houston fans are like ugly strippers. They do their best to taunt and tease but nobody pays attention to them.

Bushido states that one must preserve their honor above all else. This is an example of when this did not occur. They have brought disgrace upon their families and their clan.
