Bopperbasting ?

It is not an addiction, exactly, but just an overwhelming sense that the occasional emergency room visit is worth it, well into you fifties at least...

And just why do we call you "Doc"?
Anyway, I'll be agreeing with you in another week or two.
But, if I know I should stop and can't ... well, Doc, doesn't that qualify as an addiction?
And, not to be obnoxious, but you have only a third dan ticket.
Rare though they are, it's mainly the fourth and fifth dan challengers that really run into the ball joint disorders and the spinal fluid problems.
Not to boast, but I've been fourth dan for seven years.
I will never be fifth dan because every fool has his day -- and I've had mine.
 
I'm not as convinced as I once was that bopperbasting is safe, done with the right technique. Because I worked long and hard on my technique, have pretty good lower back flexibility, and I've been finding nonetheless that my longitudinal arches are aching and my knees, or at least my right one, is getting wobbly (difficulty on stairs, especially when going down, etc.).
Ice, and streching will help your recovery hun.
 
i haven't been on in months, this freaking phenom known as bopperbasting has taken all my time.

i've lost my job, my wife, my life, everything i held dear. but ask me if i care? the sensations are insane!!!

Technically, if you can't stop it is an addiction, but if you won't stop (even knowing it has its price) then it is more likely a personality disorder. :rolleyes:

(Plus it was a little obnoxious to pull rank. No offense.)
 
Of course, like all trends and cool things it will take a few years before it comes to France! :cool:
Or maybe the "Commission de protection de la langue française" created some strange new word for it! :mad:

Call me an apostate, sk_bum, but they're only sensations.
I'm going to have to have ligaments taken out of my right knee.
The Docs say I can expect bad arthritis there within ten years.
I have to ask: Has it been worth it?
And has a generation been lost ... for self-indulgence, for seven squiggly seconds here and there of pleasure, for the illusion that the quotidian and the ordinary can be banished from life forever?
Have we lost the reality principle altogether?
 
Most of you have noticed that I have returned after some months from my sabbatical.

It was, of course, to recover from the copious amounts of bopperbasting I had done. It had caused what seemed like permanent inflammation of various body parts (including, oddly, my left ear) and I had to take some time off and go to an out of the way location to recuperate. Not having internet access was difficult, but the only way to break myself of the bopperbasting habit.

I am feeling much better and plan to bopperbaste in a more restrained fashion... as if that was possible. I plan to bopperbaste for the first time since my return shortly. I'll tell you all how it goes.
 
The sublime, dear Rubi, is more real than the ordinary. After all, I am a Sub-Limey.

You are famous in bopperbasting circles for your biomechanical efficiency.
In all honesty, you cannot suggest that average practitioners will have your happy outcome, Lord P.
And in truth, you can't know if your L3, L4 and L5 vertebrae will find things so 'sublime' next week.
It's an old story, and because you have never yet been its protagonist, you say, 'Can't happen to Lord P.'
A three-word bouquet for you, Lord P.: 'famous' 'last' 'words.'
