First!

To be fair, that sounds very like some things I say on the average Friday night.

Makes about enough sesnse as the Hmong belief that if you eat the heart of a diing enemy. You will absorb the enemy's strength in life.

Personally, I'm a fan of not pissing in the ass of an emolated Democrat if his or her guts were on fire.

Is that wrong?

good to know... thanks

I'll be sure to remember that.

By the way, I think he was probably using something a little stronger than sake.

My Father (God rest his soul) always used this ol' sayin......(along with a plethora of others)

"I wouldnt walk across the road to piss down his throat if his stomach was on fire!"

Well that was insightful.

Oh Frank, I'd like to thank you for the link to my donations, when I return from DC you and the other 2 that gave some publicity will be featured in a post.

As for now, I think you might like to read this one

I wonder at what point they worked out the whole urination angle. Did someone experiment with this for a while? Not to mention the ideal manner in which to cut the face.

Still, nice change-up Frank. Did NOT see this one coming.

"it is said"?

What kind of samurai was this guy? Hadn't he tried it out before he goes telling everyone else to try it? Do some experiments, find out if it is true, and then recommend it to others.

Also, I'm glad we didn't sign on to that Kyoto treaty thing, those guys sound whacked.

Are these Ronin thoughts archived somewhere? Tell me they are!

Sheesh, talk about gettin kicked by the Sake monster!

He needs to calm down and take solace in a DNC Convention Mascot commemorating the Fleet Center!

Speaking of experiments...

Where's Tulio when you need him?

Double ew.

triple ewww.

Oh, "straw sandals", so that's what I was doing wrong.

Quadruple Ewwww and Ick! A priest said this? Freaky....

BTW, what religion was this guy a priest of anyway....? The religion of "Cut your enemies face lengthwise then piss and stomp on it with your straw sandals until the skin comes off?" I mean really.. WTF?!!

Gotta admith though... has a certain "gusto" to it.

I imagine an old sensei type of guy doing this, and when he gets to the peein, his prostate wont co-operate.

Excellent... but where can I find straw sandals?

Please let me know ASAP.

By the way, this is how you make leather.

Native americans would urinate on it, then chew it. I think I'd prefer using sandals.

This hardens the leather so it can be worn.

To elaborate some more ...
First we're talking about a dead animal, not a person.

Cutting the face lengthwise, you cut down the belly so you get more leather.

Urinating bonds with the leather and starts to harden it.

Trampling with hard sandles, or chewing it, works the urine into the skin. It roughens and hardens it. The skin then comes off of the bones.

This creates durable leather armour which, of course, can often deflect the flimsy swords that samurai use.

Samurai swords, contrary to our belief, were not very good weapons. They were prone to chipping and breaking, and hard to keep sharp. Some decent leather armour was all you needed to turn the tide in a fight.

Of course, they tended to use spears far more than Samurai swords. They're much more effective. But since Samurai swords look cool, we remember history a bit differently.

If you cut a face lengthwise

divide

urinate on it, and trample on it with straw sandals, it is said that the skin will come off.

and conquer

Of course, if you remove the teeth and paint Chinese symbols on them, you'll have a relatively nice set of Majong tiles.
