A demonstration from UCC self defense class At Sally's during Thanksgiving Just some random conversation at dinner The classic conversation of what Sally should do for a
third piece in her scratchboard series After painful effort to get Linden to understand what I'm
talking about After Linden says something totally out of character While preparing to teach kid how to fold Origami for Crafts
for Kids
Chris: If someone has a hold of your arms, you go circle
circle strike
Monica: Oooh, tell them what you do if they're after your
wallet!
Chris: You throw your wallet and run the opposite direction
Correction: Chris tells me that I got this wrong. It's not circle circle strike, it's strike circle circle strike. So for future reference--if you guys are everin a situation where an attacker grabs your arms, remember strike circle circle strike.
Liz: (stands up and starts kneading the pudge on her belly)
Loooook! I'm fat! Look how fat I am!!!
Sally: (gets up and does the same thing) Oooooh! I can do
it too! Loook! Loooook!
(Yeah.....you really really need to be there for that one)
Sally: I have to do stuff with eigenvectors
Mary: What are eigenvectors?
Sally: Some German thing...it's like Nazi math
Claudia: Haha, Sally's a Nazi!
Sally: I'm not a nazi!
Claudia: You can be Sally ish ben noodlenogen
Sally: See the whole point of these first two is that they
are tragic siblings. They both commited suicide over love. And they were really
original suicides, too. The death, itself, had meaning. They don't have another
sister, so I can't do a third piece and there's no other character's in the
book that would fit in.
Boonie: Just make it up. Ooooh! You can have another one
that drowns from hanging.
Sally: Uuuuuh, Boonie? That doesn't work...
Boonie: Nono, it does work! See she can hang herself from
a branch and it can dip into the lake below.
Alison or Jessica: Right....sure Boonie...next thing you'll
say is that they'll get killed by dancing pandas
Boonie: Yeah, the panda can come give her a bear hug and
crush her to death.
Linden: No...I still don't know what you're talking about.
Sally: You know...the thing that does stuff!!! Never mind...you
know people need to be telepathic. It would be soooo much more convenient.
I mean seriously, we should just be able to send our information over. It'll
be like "ping!" And you'll be like "ooooh, I see."
Linden: Well it'd be kinda annoying to hear ping ping ping
ping constantly.
Sally: No but you need the sound! Or else how are you gonna
know someone is sending you something. Besides, what's wrong with ping? That's
an awesome sound!
Sally: What? Dude--who are you and what did you do to Linden?
I must be talking to your clone or something, 'cause you wouldn't say that!
Linden: Okay, but you'll still be talking to me.
Sally: Noooooo...I'd be talking to your clone. Your clone
is not you. It is only like you in genes.
Linden: Yeah, well, you're still talking to me.
Sally: Linden is different from Linden's clone! Two different
entities! Just because you are alike doesn't mean you think alike. How do
I know that someone didn't make another Linden for the sole purpose of confusing
Sally? In the end, you'd still be Linden's clone.
Linden: Yeah, but you're still talking to _me_.
Sally: oooh....right...'cause...you'd be Linden's clone....yeah....
Andorinha: Hey these are cool--but what are they??
Andy: What does it say on the package?
Sally: Ummm....it says...Crane Eggs of Desire...
