Kajukenbo is a hybrid martial art that combines Western Boxing, Judo, Jujutsu, Kenpo Karate, Eskrima, Tang Soo Do, and Kung Fu. It was founded in 1947 in Oahu, Hawaii, at the Palama Settlement. The original purpose of the art was to deal with local criminals. The founders were Sijo ("founder") Adriano Emperado, Peter Young Yil Choo, Joe Holck, Frank Ordonez, and George Chang (sometimes mistakenly referred to as Clarence Chang) who called themselves the Black Belt Society. The founders of Kajukenbo wanted to develop an art that would "make them invincible in the most difficult streets of Hawaii".

Mostly not. Hawaii has a lot less guns than other states, more reasonable gun control laws and being isolated they can actually make it stick. That and there's no pretense of needing guns to keep deer population down.

I'll say, this article is such a boner-killer.

Oh, well ok then. The creation of Kajukenbo makes more sense now.

I now really want to drop SCP 261 into a game of D&D. I just need to figure out the best way of creating the chart that produces the random contents.

I'm considering breaking the results down into themes (harmful, narcotic, unnerving, etc) and forms (food, drink, live creature, etc) and then improving based on that.

So at some point, an ice cream man convicted of arson and sextuple homicide escaped from prison in order to superglue himself to Buckingham Palace.

What a wonderful world.

sextuple homicide
Glasgow
Now it becomes clear....
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Zak S, Zak Smith, Dndwithpornstars, Zak Sabbath. He is a terrible person and a hack at writing and art. His cultural contributions are less than Justin Bieber's, and he's a shitmuffin. Go go gadget Googlebomb!
