Moose-Alini Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Yes, but most martial arts in america are less than useless in any confrontation as they prepare you dor noexistent situations, while ruining your ability in anything that doesnt fit your training perfectly. Also gives people undue confidence. Very few martial arts in america can train you to fight. Also, yes, it is psychos who are scary and chase people around, but the people in this thread automatically associated psychos as being gay.

Moose-Alini Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 I dont know about anyone else, but my kenpo training consists of quiet a lot of getting hit full force in the face and other places. You screw up, you get hurt. Also training in ground fighting, in case you do get nocked down, you can be just as effective. Sure anyone can be beaten.

Moose-Alini Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 You dont have to be able to beat everyone. Most is more than enough. If you are in a situation where you are in danger, anything that can help you get away is enough. Seldome is the objective to beat the crap out of your assailent, but to beat them enough that you can get to safety. Yes it hurts to have a broken nose, but I have experienced MUCH more debilitating injuries while still incapacitating an opponent. And if you get kicked in the balls, your doing something wrong.

+Xitron Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 LOL I agree with most of what you say Moose. I have been in a few fights myself and have found that if you are the first one to strike you usually win. I once went up against a 3rd degree black belt and guess what? he kicked my ***!! The second time however I broke his nose his jaw and his wrist. He really broke his wrist on top of my head but it was still broken. So I think the best solution is we not fight at all.

CacheMonkeez Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Since I had some knowledge of the original event, here are the facts and opinions about what happened Tuesday: Facts: 1. The rest stop parking lot was a known hangout for gay cruisers 2. Gay cruisers go into the woods together (where the cache is) and do their thing 3. I was stalked by somebody hanging out in the parking lot 4. It cannot be proven that the stalker was gay Opinions: 1. I put 1, 2, and 3 together and assumed I was stalked by a gay cruiser. There is no doubt that I was stalked. I don't mind if gay or straight people hang out at rest stops, as long as they don't stalk me! Link to comment

mckee Posted September 12, 2003 Author Share Posted September 12, 2003 Wow, what started out as a parody thread about people who wander around following geocachers has turned far more strange/interesting than I thought it would be. This was satire based on hammack's story about being pursued, various forum rumblings related to it, and various other past threads regarding the exact same thing happening at other rest areas, combined with the "Geodashing-What's next?" thread. There is no website, no such sport as GeoStalking (aside from Kealia's habit of what I call "geocrashing"). I *did* state that I wear a French Maid outfit when I clean, but that's beside the point.

Yup, although I suppose officially "crashing" would mean you found them in the act of finding the actual cache. We've crashed into someone looking for a cache here. We were walking one way, they were walking another way, complete with backpack (in a city park-like area). After we passed I told Kathy "They're caching." Sure enough we found them on a different trail a bit later. They saw us going the other way with out GPS out and figured they were heading in the wrong direction. We all teamed up to locate the cache, whose coordinates were off by 40 feet or so. Had they been aliens, we would have overcome and eaten them so they could not return to their hive and warn the other aliens that a cache was nearby.
