You should also demand a refund of every pennny you've ever paid in subs.

LadyBeagleEyes · 12/05/2012 00:48

Ah, but is he a Lil Dragon?
Only you can decide.
I bet he is, isn't he, isn't he?

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 12/05/2012 00:49

What was it before?

My DS does Little Dragons/Dragons. He's 12 yo so will soom be moving up to the mixed class.

Who called it Lil Dragons Envy vom face.

You need to have a Fight to the Death, No Mercy Sensie - style contest with the sensei.

NicNocJnr · 12/05/2012 00:52

YANBU I'd sew the missing letters on his uniform.

PA mother alert Grin

Lol, dear lord it gets worse.

I want LadyBeagleEyes post though...Envy

Trills · 12/05/2012 00:52

Dragons are Chinese.

Karate is Japanese.

You should definitely ban him from going to this misnamed group

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 12/05/2012 00:56

Ah but dragons can fly to Japan because they are mystical and real and have wings.
So they could have been seen by karate studants when they were waxing on waxing off practising.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 12/05/2012 00:58

Oh and the actor who plays the Evil Sensei in Karate Kid (the original film).

I so would Blush

TalcAndTurnips · 12/05/2012 01:10

BIG Dragon

ChaosTrulyReigns · 12/05/2012 01:18

Oh man they were Little Ninja's (sic) before.

Angry

It's ticked my a bit as CBoy has always called his penis a dragon.

So that's nice.

Wink

See. Look. I have a Lil Dragon image.

Click away MNsan. Wink

It could be worse, Chaos - it could be Li' Dragonz.

Just count your blessings.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 12/05/2012 01:23

Oh no.

A zed.

I would NOT sleep.

If your little [troof] emoticon actually turned into a picture when you posted it, what would it be?

ChaosTrulyReigns · 12/05/2012 01:26

Just seen the sewing it on comment.

I will utterly do that.

Or use Sharpie as I'm flazy. Grin

Oh and I have an image of me fighting the 18yo First Dan to the death over grammatical atrocities. Wink

Aw a ickle puppy. I would like that Smile

WishingRLwouldFuckOff · 12/05/2012 01:36

hopes that makes sense. tad drunk.

EdithWeston · 12/05/2012 05:39

Dreadful name, isn't it? We once came across it in Kung Fu, and I feel your pain.

NovackNGood · 12/05/2012 05:55

OP is it Lil because Chinese are supposedly unable to pronounce t's? In which case you are not being unreasonable.

What about calling it Fight Club. However ensure you remember the first rule of Fight club.

EdithWeston · 12/05/2012 06:04

IIRC, it originated in US, and it's just plain over-cute.

EdithWeston · 12/05/2012 06:07

(BTW, Chinese do use a /t/ phoneme which is pronounced just as it is in English, eg in Tiananmen Square, or Taiwan, or Shatin).

NovackNGood · 12/05/2012 06:28

Or even Chinese Taipei perhaps.

ObviouslyOblivious · 12/05/2012 06:30

So you had no issue with Little Ninja's? Double standards or what?

Grockle · 12/05/2012 06:35

Urgh, DS used to do Lil' Kickers but it was in the US so a gritted my teeth and sent anyway.

FoofyShmooffer · 12/05/2012 06:40

DS did "lil dragons".

The course was excellent.

The 'lil' is an abomination. Don't stop him, do any of the above suggestions. I quite like the Sharpie idea.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 12/05/2012 06:44

Aw is your lil man goin to lil dragons hun? Lolz.
