So today I finally broke down and decided to get one of those nifty images of me all Simsonified. They didn't have many body types. All they had was Homer-fat and super-buff.

Anyways, here it is. I'm wearing a t-shirt with an atom on it because I feel like being pretentious.

Oh and has anybody seen that show Human Weapon on the History Channel? It's about these two guys (Jason Chambers, a mixed martial artist and Bill Duff, a football player / wrestler) who tour the world examining different country's martial arts.

It was pretty interesting. The first episode was in Thailand and naturally they were studying Muay Thai. Muay Thai is a very practical fighting art - lots of elbows and knees and blood and people shouting "Ouch! My fucking spleen!" in Thai.

The format of the show is a little ....broken. The premise of Human Weapon is that the duo (Jason and Bill) spend the episode training in the week's martial art in order to actually participate in a "real" fight with an expert at the end of the episode.

First of all, I've seen Jason Chambers fight before and he's a competent fighter. I have no idea who Bill Duff is, but he's not a martial artist. I dare say that any good martial artist would take him apart like he's made of Legos. Big and slow (even if strong) = Very Ouchy in the martial arts world.

So at the end of the Thailand episode of Human Weapon, Jason Chambers "fought" a Muay Thai champion - except that it was painfully, painfully obvious that this Muay Thai champion would have annihilated Mr. Chambers if given the permission to go all out. It was embarrassing to watch as the duo and their trainer tried to come up with viable strategies for success and doubly embarrassing to watch the final fight.

I beg you, Human Weapon producers - drop the current fight from the show format. Give Jason Chambers a super hot and super deadly female co-host. Have them train in the art like they do now. Then end each show with an exhibition featuring two experts in the art.
