Heh. Flamers. :lol:

It is a cool video, but it'd be better if the samurai wasn't so scared of the fire.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. -Aristotle

So you have to read the comments on the video.

They make my brain hurt.

That was funny, no not the video but the comments after the video. The sheer lack of knowledge and the people defending said lack of knowledge is great. Kind of like that thread a few months ago of all the stupid things we hear at SCA things. My favorite comment from this is still

Its a battle not a tournie, there's a difference.
