Congratulations! I look forward to investigating your systems in depth.

This might be a very bad idea. What if the attacker is diabetic this would be utterly devastating. Also the choke hazards involved and I would just hate to see good cake wasted on an attacker. No doubt icing in the eyes is quite disabling. Congrats mike I will attend one of your seminars one day. You should visit louisiana soon.

+1 Yes by all means, Baton Rouge or NO (close to me :) . I am a diabetic, so you could throw cake at me and attack as i dodge all the refined sugar!! :p

Thanks to everyone for your kind words and support. The Black Belt Hall of Fame is a great honor and I'm very proud to have been recognized by them.

As for cake as a weapon, I guess none of you have ever eaten my sister's cooking...

Stay safe,

Mike

I'd love to attend the Milwaukee training but have spent too many weekends away from home.

Congratulations, Mr. Janich!

If you are ever in south Texas and want a cake that is guaranteed not to be outlawed by the Geneva Conventions, drop me a PM. My wife is one **** of a baker. :cool:
