      I meant it as a joke which you ruined by the way.
      I meant that for you to be finding her cute hopping on her injured leg after her surgery to pick up her ukulele after literally almost breaking down in front of Ariel talking about how she can't do anything these days is almost sadist.
      You either didn't watch the vedio properly or don't know what sadist means.

Fortunately Chuck Norris was there and busy giving autographs so the other legends were free to talk to. I also talked with Maurice Smith (he had just fought) and he was extremely kind with his time and gave me advice. Maurice won easily. The PKA fighters had no idea how to block the leg kicks of the WKA fighters, None of the PKA fighters won. They all got their legs tore up.
