I fixed the print. You should be able to read it now.
Dude, in a combo, you throw two on-sides (remember you are holding your bastard sword in your sinister left hand), then you step out of the way and let loose with the Boom-Yow!!

No. It is not called a Boom-Yow!! It makes a Thwak-a-doom! noise, but I think it is called the Leg-er-ator.Odo wrote:DA,
Would a shot to the thigh also be called the Boom-Yow!! I would love to see the mechanics of that shot expertly illustrated as only you can provide.

Here is the shot. I used a picture of you I found so you could better understand how it works from vicarious yet personal experience:

Dude,Brian de Lorne wrote:Great. Now i'll be singing in my Led Zeppelin at the event this weekend!
Does that help with the effectiveness of the Leg-er-ator?
You HAVE a LED ZEPPELIN?!? That is the ass kickingest thing ever. If you wanted, you could probably get like eleventy billion dollars for it on Ebay. But I understand why you wouldn't want to sell it. That is so fresh.
Singing to yourself always helps with your rhythm, and some songs make you feel really powerful. Changing up to some classic metal really throws a change up in there when people think that you are going to be coming at them with like some Racer X or W.A.S.P.
Don't ever discount the POWER of MUSIC!!!

DA,
Is it inappropriate to use FBLA ii from Helmet when using the thwack-a-doom?
Killing hurts
Has to be done
Peace and love and
Who's number one
The right to give
Learn to bleed it's free
Pain is outside
Lift it up to see
Step ahead
Always wear the past
Dying soothe me
Beneath the smell of grass
No world secret
Kept is too intent
I've got my nerve
Self-help confidence
Confidence

I think for sure that a song like that could work, but sometiems you have to mix up the order a little bit with some other songs from other eras like maybe some Priest or maybe Kick Start my Heart by the Crue:

in order to throw off your opponent's rhythm sensor. Lots and lots of better fighters like Michael of Bedford can just dig right into your groove and use it against you, so don't get caught using one song for too long or you'll get the one handed Boom-Yow!! Be like a good pitcher and throw a change up once in a while just to mess with their heads. Nobody likes their head messed with which is why it works so well when it works, and then like the energizer bunny it keeps on working cause you just crawl in their head, and get a lease and stay there for a while being a bad neighbor who plays loud movies at three in the morning on a work night. That helps you beat them for a long time in the future.
Good luck with the new shots.

Dear Dark Apprentice,
What if I try somethin' sneaky like maybe singing a Barry Manilow song out loud, (while maybe playing one of Lawrence Welk's less peppy numbers in the background?) but in my head I am in reality cranking out White Zombie's "El Phantasmo and the Chicken Run Blast-o-rama"? Would this be enough to fake out and confuse some opponents to be able to get in there and fire a battery of Thwack-a-Dooms?
I figured that throwing a $100 bill on the ground in front of the unsuspecting opponent would be no good because if the opponent stooped over to pick the money up and got the daylights knocked outta them, they could be technically accused of throwing the fight for money. This would be more than likely be frowned upon if this tactic were put into practice.
...Do you think that maybe $1,000 might do the trick?

bitchin elbows
Wow DA you have the bitchin elbows, I know you have no need for the armor so you must really like them because they sooo Goth. You perhaps are playing Depeche Mode in your head? I can understand why you would not like to admit this. Depeche Mode is very repetitive, especially that early casio sounding crap! Maybe Type O Negative? Marylyn Mason?
That crap IS dark but not in a good way.
By the way, how often do you have to change out your rattan as the burning must make for a short sword life.
Love the manual waiting for the video!

I have to change out my rattan a lot. Did you ever notice that flaming rattan swords are not against the rules of the list? They aren't. Not just that, but the power of the Boom-Yow!! like breaks rattan all the time. Haven't you ever smelled burning rattan while you were fighting? I smell it all the time.
Here is a picture of a properly executed Boom-Yow!! by this green dude from Atlantia named Corby, and he is tall and reminds me of the green Jeddak of Thark, Tars Tarkas. He is a great swordsman. I understand that he likes Pantera. It is obvious he has something cool playing while he is out dealing hammer shots like that! I mean you know the only reason this dude's head didn't go flying was because the sword was rattan and not a real sword.
I like armor a lot. Especially chaos armor, but I appreciate period armor too, cause you know it worked, and those dudes were like tanks that couldn't be stopped unless like a thousand peasants jumped on them at once and stuff, and then the smell alone would have probably killed the dude in armor.
I hung out with the guys from Type O before. They were really cool. The singer didn't hang with us though. They said he was "too depressed" or something like that. Like his dark days were upon him. They all had these 0- tatoos on their arms, and we drank some booze together at this bar where I also saw Rob Halford play with this dwarf as his bassist once.
Marilyn Manson is like a sell-out. He is totally a big faker. If it wasn't for Trent Reznor he wouldn't have gotten anywhere. All he does is sing deep and cover old songs now. And look how lucky that dude got. Dita von Tease is hot, and she was really nice to people and stuff, but then after she hooked up with him she became a diva, and doesn't talk to anyone but him anymore. I bet they talk about what old song he is going to cover next. It will probably be some Depeche Mode, which means Fast Fashion, like over and gone, like they should be.

DA is, as usual right on almost every count.
I think I'll have to make a present of that greatsword to him, next time I see him.
It does have a very slight natural curve in the blade, but nothing like what I see there in that picture. I was really surprised to see how much it flexed while throwing a shot.
What did DA miss? I really love Panera, not Pantera.
But I might have had some Panera before that tournament.

If you want to sing Barry Manilow, go ahead. Everyone will think you are a weirdo just for knowing one of his songs by heart enough to be able to sing it. I would say just go with the White Zombie, everything else might just confuse you too much, and then you would get your head handed to you.Steve_A wrote:Dear Dark Apprentice,

Regarding tricks of the trade, try fighting two sword, but wear gauntlets, and remember to point them out to your opponent. Right as the fight starts, drop or throw one of your swords to the ground. As your opponent looks, and thinks he should yell hold, whack him good. That works, and is legal, and you won't get accused of buying off the fight.

Are you a caffeine juicer? You should try some MONSTER instead of Panera. Monster is green like you and will get you up and going!

Dark Apprentice was showing everyone some moves this weekend. And he was trying to teach a move called the "Thwack-o-tacka" but those squires whom lack DA superior fighting skills just could not grasp the technique. Perhaps he could give us another illustration of this powerful move. He must have known what he was talking about because all the squires were gathered around listening and doing these strange spinning moves that kind of, sort of looked like sword strikes. He was also giving them tips on how to clean up their gear by suggesting fake fur shoe covers that come up to mid calve.

I reached an epiphany last night at the gym. Dark Victory is the Steve Perry of the SCA. He doesn't look like much, but then he glares at your girl with those sultry eyes and busts out a High Note/Boom-Yow and it's over jack, it's OVER!

Both of those songs would certainly improve your odds in the upcoming Crown! You should have a special cd made with just them on it, and listen to them in between fights on like mega-repeat. That would kick some major ass.
