Lucky Tiger vs the bogans


This week has been a little rough, we’ve been short one person and the other one had this last weekend off so I was all by myself. That’s fine, it’s just that there’s no one else that can pinch hit for me so no lunch or tea breaks for me those days. We were also fairly busy so I didn’t want to sneak out when it got quiet in case it flared up in those split seconds I was gone.
As it happened, they were great days with exception of one customer on each of those days.

So I was a bit stressed, a bit starved, a bit sleepless and dealing with the public at large. Naturally, I have come down with a cold. My workplace has a strict cold/flu policy, which I think is great. It also means I couldn’t work today. So I moseyed down to the quacks for some tissues and other supplies.

It’s a lovely day today, and because of the hours I work, I don’t get to see the sunlight as much as I’d like so I figured, why not walk? It’s only going to be a ten minute walk at most and let’s face it, the fresh air will probably do me some good.

Lucky Tiger Vs the King Hit


I have had trouble understanding the term ‘King-hit’. I know what it means, that some jerk has punched you in the back of the head and knocked you to the ground. It’s just the name is hard to get around, similar to the so called ‘honour killings’.

Violently murdering or otherwise abusing a female family member for living her life, being raped, not wanting to marry the jerk you’re trying to force her to marry or even saying ‘hi’ to a male grocery store clerk is definitely an honour killing. Only, it’s not bringing you ‘back’ any honour, you’re just squeezing the life out of any honour your family may have held at one stage.

So in a way, it’s like a twisted play on words. With ‘king hit’ I’ve always found it distasteful to even consider punching someone in a fairly cowardly way ‘king like’. This morning in the shower, I had a ponder and now I think that this is another wicked word play.

After all, most kings are jerks, right? All with the being rich while the nation starves, chopping and changing of wives, dungeons, creating your own religion because you can, etc etc. It would be just like one of those douchebag kings to have their many lackeys hold someone back so Mr Royalty could ‘win’ the fight.

Lucky Tiger vs The Fatality of Injustice

Another DC game, another Harley Quinn outfit.. Yes, it's INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US

The working title was Injustice: Battle of the Backsides



Anyway, it's pretty much DC vs Mortal Kombat again but apparently more bad ass. I read somewhere that that's why all the character's outfits were skewiffy again, so it's not the 'official' Batman kicking the shit out of 'official' Superman or something like that.

I don't think 'official' Batman would mind. It would only add to his street cred and he does so love kicking the shit out of things.
