Thank you all for bearing with my not posting today. After the Project Healing Waters fishing tournament yesterday, I really just wanted to put my feet up, watch the Buckeyes game, and crash on the couch. My Veteran, Boat Sponsor, and I finished in 2nd place overall, filling our 10 slots with a total of 138″, just 14″ shy of first.(You can see some pictures from the event here).
Now that the event has passed it is time to get back to work. A hat tip goes out to Sam L. for this video and all of the other links he finds for us.
Isao Machii is a master at Iaido, a Japanese sword-style. He is a world record holder at quick-draw, and demonstrates an amazing sense of timing, cleaving a 100mph fastball in two.
That reminds me of the video of a Japanese baseball star facing off against a 300kph (186mph) pitching machine. The video is down from Youtube, but you can see the whole thing here. (jump to the 2:00 mark if you just want to see the action, though the Japanese talk show is funny in its own right). Fortunately there is .gif loop of it for those in a hurry, though his facial expressions in the full video are hysterical.
Well baseball is nice. BB gun pellet is another level

If he’s young enough to play baseball, I’d bet he’d be a .400 or better hitter.
