With the monks urging him on, Wesson made several kicks to the monk who showed no emotion. Man, if that's the penalty in California for showing no emotion, it's no wonder so many Californians wear their emotions on their sleeves. ("No kicks for me.")

Now the monk knows how taxpayers feel. ROFLMAO!

I think it is all in the pants.
Pants made of heavy material. Loose fitting around the critical parts. Tied down tight at the bottom of the legs.
Kicker can't really land anything.

FREEBIRD by Lynard Skynard
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me
For I must be traveling on now
There's too many places I've got to see
If I stay here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
Oh, and the bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change
Bye-bye babe, it's been sweet, love
'Though this feeling I can't change
But please don't take this so badly
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame
But if I stay here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
Oh, and the bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change
Lord help me I can't change
Oh No, I can't change
You need cannon to be a monk.
