I do it as well but I bring my gi everywhere. What is even sicker is I bring a white belt to some schools and just kind of tell the instructors I am just starting out even though I am a Brown Belt. ...

If you train jiu jitsu, don’t roll with white belts.
405 should be the time you wake up, not how much you can bench, deadlift, or squat.
Running to the refrigerator is about as far as you should run.
Never pass up a restroom and for the love of God, never ever trust a fart.

I worked there in the early 90's. It was literally one of the busiest Red Lobsters in the chain. I swear that place would be packed in a monsoon. Kinda hate to hear this, but not surprised. I think the seafood restaurant bus...
