#1 Gotta call bullshit on the so-called 'karate baton' - there's no such thing, at least not in Shotokan karate.

#3 Probably nunchuks. Pretty close for a journalist.

#4 Uh uh. Nunchuks are illegal. A religious prophet wouldn't do anything illegal, right?

#5 Thought the article was about Ted Kennedy. Have to admit I was partially wrong.

Snark.

#6 I hereby state for the record that I have never hit a woman with a toaster nor have I talked to a blanket.

#7 Tonfas? (Youtube quick history)Expecting a journalist to be able to spell such esoterica is beyond optimistic.

#8 Toaster Fighting is one of the less well known martial arts.
Not many people know that.

#11 I'd heard it was a military-style assault karate baton but I could be mistaken.

#12 In spring 1968, at invitation of some Karenga devotees at the SoCal University where I served as Assistant Chaplain on an intern year from seminary in NYC, I made arrangements to meet Karenga at his office in Watts and drove there, alone, for the purpose.

The scene I met was similar to that at the office of "Big" Ed Mustapha in Eastwood's The Enforcer. Two heavies met me at the door and then, one on each side, hovered right over me as I sat across the desk from Karenga, who was polite but not friendly.

I invited Karenga's participation in a general USA sitrep information program, initiated by Robert Theobald, a Fabian Brit, at NYC whom I had agreed to help with that program.

Karenga agreed to help from the West Coast but he never responded after I visited him in Watts. Theobald's program fizzled before August 1968 -- i.e., I was a failure -- and I went back to seminary for the final year, nearly getting expelled for using original thought while not a doctoral candidate.

#13 Even for doctoral candidates to exhibit original thought outside a strictly defined area is a bit risky, TopRev. ;-)
