The current selection in the Vancouver Book Club is Lee Henderson's award winning book, The Man Game, and we'll be hosting Lee for a chat tomorrow! Wednesday, May 25 at 7pm at the historic Vancouver Park Board office in Stanley Park (directions HERE). This is a free event where we're inviting all of you who have read this great book to come down and have an intimate talk with the author for a couple of hours.

In the days leading up we're sharing the entire collection of original illustrations that Lee drew to illustrate the different moves in the actual Man Game he dreamed up!

Figure 16.1

Wishful Thinking

You cannot allow your opponent to anticipate what a bloodthirsty parasite you really are, and however painful it might feel as you feed on his skull, keep in mind that you will be awarded the point.

Both feet must be above your opponent's waistline before you may begin the headbutts.

Figure 16.2

Flippin the Bird, aka the Hoss

The Hoss is an excellent beginner's move, for it requires only that you properly time your positioning so that you're ready to send your opponent into the crowd.

The Hatched Back

The reverse galliard is as difficult as scaling a mountain backwards, and the back-to-front under-arm headlock toss-around should make this move count for two points.

Figure 16.5

The Bookend

Interrupts any thought, kills any plans. Your opponent expects more from you but reaches a dead stop.
