If LHC put his sword in a 'Surprising Position' he could defeat :

[CC]

The recent debates on HIS vs Wooden Sword and DGKB vs RWX got me thinking...

How would an experienced DG9J swordsman fare against the various Sword Theories from the Sword Tomb?

[Ken Cheng]

I normally don't vote in non-confidential polls, but I had to make an exception this time.

"A surprising position"...you know, it sounds so dirty when you put it that way.

[PJ]

Demonic Swordsman Dugu Qiubai executes a internal-driven sword qi from 10 zhang away.

Linghu Chong is eating a bowl of cereal. He doesn't even look. He doesn't even put his sword in a surprising position. He doesn't even move.

Demonic Swordsman Dugu Qiubai screams in terror as his eyes are miraculously blinded, and his foot embedded with 50 tiny stabs.

Hwhat PJ?!

You think YG and his HIS would be _surprised_ by LHC's sword?

[Ren Wo Xing]

Beats wooden sword, AND is bullcrap.

[Ken Cheng]

AND sounds dirty too.

As if SPW isn't loaded with enough innuendo...

Which is actually possible with SOD's style of swordfight plot devices. Because LHC doesn't give a crap, DGKB has doubts for the first time in his life and has to retract his sword for the very first time.

That's actually a very good point! I could totally see that happening in SOD!!!

[Ken Cheng]

I've always seen SPW as Jin Yong's attempt to out-Gu Long Gu Long. The writing style might have been Jin Yong's, but the themes seemed Gu Longesque.

It could also be a Yan 13 moment when Dugu Qiubai feels he shouldn't harm his cereal-chugging, rats-ungiving great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grand-disciple, and in a haste to retract (which he has never done before, so we can say he sucks at retraction**), he blinded and stabbed himself.

**How's that for dirtiness, Ken?

All of us men suck at retraction.

Wait a minute...what am I saying?

[PJ]

All of us men suck at retraction.

Some just suck harder.

[Ken Cheng]

I'm wondering if the whole "No Sword" concept of Dook Goo Kau Bai's wasn't yet another kind of metaphorical castration.

Apparently, the men's road to reaching the pinnacle of martial arts is castration.

Hmm...maybe I should reevaluate whom I'm supporting in that Gwok Jing vs. Yeung Gor debate.

You should self-banned yourself SIR, for talking vulgar candidly

That's the sweet thing about innuendo; it's not candid. You just have a dirty mind.

[GuGu]

ummmm like eewww.

and yes, i do have a dirty mind.

[yittz]

What happened to this thread?? I was about to type a short summary of why I think DG9J is BC, and then I saw these replies.

I blame CC for not using a better term than 'Surprising Position' and everyone else for perputating this.

[Ken Cheng]

I think I've discovered a new way to insult people.

From now on, if I'm trying to provoke a fight, I'll tell the people who have offended me that I'm going to stick my fist in a SURPRISING POSITION.

Naughty Ken...

So after 2 years and many debates on DG9J and DGKB later, has anyone changed their mind?
