That's exactly what it is. A paraphrase of Yoda from Return of The Jedi.

Try? There is no try, do, or do not.

So, in essence, see yourself doing it, and it will happen.

actually it's "Do, or do not. There is no Try"

and the "pick fu" comes from old kung fu movies

*insert asian accent*
"aahso.. I see your kung fu is strong"

hence can be translated into anything - romstar's pick-fu is strong
my geek-fu is strong etc..

I actually wrote this ages and ages ago but it may have been deleted....
Oh look! it's 2016!

I think it used to be called "pick fu - WTF?" but a mod may have changed the thread name...

Funny reading those old threads.

The one and only phrase I learned while there was " eichi Bieru O' Kuasai " ( translates to " one beer please " LOL )

No edit feature.

Should read " eichi biero o' kudasai " instead.

That could also be, "Biiru ippon, onegaishimasu" One bottle of beer, please.
