Monday Styles

Here it comes.  The Week.  Can you face it?  More to the point, can you Crush It?  We both know TDS is your key to untold riches and the satisfaction of total domination.  Wir gehen zuruck.

Friday Styles

Imagine a country road.  Empty.  Unpaved.  At one end, it’s you, armed only with your wits, a nickel, and these styles.  At the other end: triumph.  Forget about the nickel and your wits; let’s get these Styles on.

Primary Style: Green Bean

Secondary Style: Larch

Not Recommended: Sow

Forbidden: Clandestine Salamander with Optional Amulet-of-Ultimate-Power Technique

As always, you are on your own over the weekend. Experiment with different combinations; try something new. The staff of The Daily Styles is not responsible, individually or corporately, for any misstep you undertake while practicing un-endorsed styles. We’ll see you back here on Monday.

Thursday Styles

How’d it go yesterday?  Did you crush it?  We thought so.  Good work, styleroos.  Here’s a more conventional approach for today.

Primary Style: Frigate Bird

Secondary Style: Badger

Not Recommended: Feral Cat

Forbidden: Drunken Red Deer of Tipperary with Optional Flying-Fist-of-Judah Technique

Wednesday Styles

Here’s something that we haven’t done yet here on the TDS Blog, but which used to make a regular appearance on the old TDS Whiteboard back in the day.  It’s an advanced approach, but if you’ve been doing the work you’ve been assigned and practicing your styles diligently, it shouldn’t pose a problem.  Are you ready?  Here it comes.

Primary Style: Bear

Secondary Style: Bear

Not Recommended: Bear

Frobidden: Bear

Do you see why this requires some thinking on your part?  Allow us to explain.  Imagine the Bear in all her/his majesty.  Powerful, yes, but also occasionally timid and sometimes overbearing.  (Get it?  Overbearing?  Ha!)  This may seem like a lark, but it isn’t meant facetiously.  As you practice Bear Style today, consider what aspects of the Bear you’re employing.  You may find this to be a deeply rewarding experience, and one which moves you much further down the road to Crushing It than you may previously have gone.  Good luck, my friends.

Forbidden: Overripe Starfruit with Optional Juice-Flowing-Down-Your-Chin Technique
