I have often been told I am a difficult person to understand.\u00a0 A friend of mine (Cliff) seems to have the best explanation.\u00a0 I pack to many references in what I say.\u00a0 If you don’t have a similar background in Education or interests you will not get a lot of what I say.\u00a0 So I decided to make up a list of clips that will help you in class if you are having trouble understanding a few of my quotes.\u00a0 You don’t have<\/strong> to like the same stuff, you don’t even have to watch it, (the required part was a joke) it will just help you understand a bit better.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Venture Brothers<\/a> – the guys in Calgary got me on this one.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 The Young Turks – when you hear me say “Weak Sauce” or “B-E-A-T, beat.<\/a>” this is where it comes from.\u00a0 (Warning some clips are left wing politics heavy for you conservatives reading.)<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Family guy<\/a> – Self evident I think.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Metalocalypse – because Budo is metal, and Toki is the man<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Hamlet, Othello and Much Ado about Nothing – Cause I liked those ones.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Bruce Lee Movies – Cause we are a martial arts class.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Mas Oyama Trilogy – Cause Sonny Chiba is the man.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 The Strongest Karate<\/a> – Cause I used to take Karate, and back in the day Karate was bad ass.\u00a0 (Can you spot the Bill Atkins look alike?)<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 Histories Strongest Disciple Kenichi – Some people who write about martial arts research concepts.\u00a0 This is the best researched martial arts series I have ever seen.<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 Japan Stories – This is from the shihan and other Japan residents.\u00a0 I reference teachers movements and mannerisms as best I can.\u00a0 You have to go to Japan to get who I am impersonating that day.<\/p>\n

Oh I guess I better add some science fiction<\/a>, Lenny Henry<\/a> and other British Comedy<\/a> (I think we should return to the gold standard).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
