Kaku: Do you get stronger or something if you wear that washcloth?We all know Helmets Are Hardly Heroic, so what is a Badass who likes to have their head covered supposed to wear on the battlefield? A bandana of course! The reasons for wearing one can vary. Maybe the wearer thinks it looks cool. It can keep the wearers hair out of their face without obscuring their vision like a helmet might. If supplies are scarce, a bandana might be the only headgear one is able to find. Whatever the reason, a bandana usually highlights just how much of a Badass the wearer is, and warns others to stay out of his way. Bandits, bikers, cowboys, and pirates tend to wear bandanas to signify them being outlaws or to reinforce their tough and gritty look. In fact, the bandana will often be worn for this exact purpose: A Lady of War would never wear a bandana, but a grizzled Lad-ette marine might. An elegant swordfighter wouldn't wear the bandana, but a rugged thief would. Note that this does not have to be an actual bandana, and could be a do-rag or headband, which would fall under Martial Arts Headband if martial arts is involved, especially in Asian cinema. It also does not have to be worn on the head, as characters often wear bandanas around their necks. This is frequently slapped on a Badbutt in an attempt at characterization rivaling the subtlety of Ms. Pac-Man's bow. Related to Badass Longcoat. Both are added to a character to show they are a badass with a short visual cue, in this case a certain type of rugged, masculine badass. Sub-Trope of Nice Hat or Scarf Of Ass Kicking. Compare with Cool Helmet, and a Sister Trope to Fedora of Asskicking as well.
Zoro: Maybe.

Tonight I head for the ExCeL Centre straight after work for a weekend with mates at Expo (so glad I am at work today, the amount of Rebecca Black singing would have driven me crazy). Back on Monday, rest up Tuesday then off to Preston for the conference. And when I get back I have to go to Epsom for the Derby followed by driving all the way up to Essex to see my other half.
Restful half term? Quite the opposite!

NFL Network booth is chatty
What did I think of the debut of the NFL Network's busy new three-man booth, in which Joe Theismann has joined Bob Papa and Matt Millen?
I think Papa deserves a raise for guiding the troops through the verbal shrapnel.
Yikes! Maybe everyone will calm down and strike a better balance by the time the Jets appear Thanksgiving night against the Cincinnati T.Ochocincos.

Deutsche Bank swings to loss as it cleans up
31 January 2013
Germany's Deutsche Bank, Europe's largest lender by assets, Thursday said it swung to a net loss of €2.17bn ($2.93bn) in the fourth quarter, as it took substantial hits to clean up its business, remove risky assets from its balance sheet and to settle legal disputes, while its underlying performance improved.

Cal Crutchlow is facing a race against time to be fit for the forthcoming Dutch Grand Prix at Assen having undergone successful surgery on the badly broken left collarbone he suffered at Silverstone last weekend The Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Team rider broke his left collarbone in five places in a high-speed accident during qualifying for his home race at...

is fully fit.
Cal should give Assen a miss if there's any doubt, there's nothing to be gained by risking things further. His job isn't at risk and he's not riding for the championship. Resting and healing up properly makes the best sense.

With a DNF & a DNS already this season do you really think you should be mentioning Race? ... arf arf!
Get well soon Cal... really hope to see you r*** at Assen but, as said below, make sure you're fit... it's pointless riding round as an also-ran & risks further injury... be cautious, but not Pedrosa cautious.
PS... I helped build the Royal Derby Hospital... can I borrow ya pit lane pass if you're not gonna use it? :D

When did the 'Dutch' meeting cease to be 'The Dutch TT' and become 'The Dutch Moto GP ?.

Give it a miss and rest up mate. There's no point pushing it and risking a re-break. Good luck and get well soon.
Popski... it's still called the "Dutch TT" (the TT referring to the TT Assen Circuit rather than the style of racing)... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_TT
