What you did today

[Raithe]

Got back from the birthday bbq somewhat drunk.  A random conversation ended up with the birthday boy blowing a pipe full of icing sugar across the bonfire to cause mini fire-bursts. He's a chemistry PhD and Researcher. Various wives / girlfriend / female cousins of the family were present and while they enjoyed the fire bursts were a bit disappointed in the effort it took to get it right. I gave him a good bottle of 10 year old tawny port, which we ended up drinking as we smoked cigars around the fire afterwards. Then he gave me a good bottle of Azul tequila as a present after some good natured threatening of me after I hugged his wife  - he'd just been attending a chemistry conference in Mexico.

 

I realised how long it's been since I last tango'd a pretty lady, and his wife poked me and asked why I didn't impress any of her friends and family at the wedding some months back with it. To which I replied salsa music is not a good intro to a tango, and holiday romances with the family of your best friends bride generally isn't a good idea.

Fun Fact: Vanilla Ice is a pro house flipper now.

[Guard Dog]

Spent four hours arguing with my cat about what legacy I would leave behind were I to end up dead in the near future.

 

Didn't go well...

That means you had best not end up dead in the near future. You still have too much to do!

I need to have a word with him.

Since when?

 

You are Sir Gawain, and I claim my five pounds.

[Rosbjerg]

Got in 2 fights.. First was not serious and my fault, second was very serious and not my fault.. I'm as angry as I've ever been and most of my body hurt.. oh and my clothes are sprayed with blood (but the guy is ok, mostly hurt his pride).. Crazy stupid ****ing day..

[Labadal]

Today, I got in a street fight... in Baldur's Gate II.

[Gorgon]

So this didn't happen while out drinking ?. I've never been in any other kind of fight. Well not since I was 8.

[Labadal]

Last fight I was in was almost 13 years ago. I accidentally hit my teacher when he tried to break up the fight. From that day on, my name was Mike Tyson when he spoke to me.

[LadyCrimson]

I got in a fight with another girl when I was in 7th grade. Kicking and rib-punching and rolling around on the asphalt. It hurt, I got in trouble, and I learned I didn't like fighting.

 

And Ros, I'm glad nothing major was injured (I'm hoping), since you're here posting...hope the rest of the weekend goes better for you.

[Rosbjerg]

Yeah I'm fine, it looked more serious than it was - thanks. A couple decided to use me as part of their little jealousy trip. Unfortunately for the guy I didn't take it lying down when he punched me in the face.

Speaking as an English gentleman, I would like to see pictures.

 

I would also like to know what 7th grade is. I'm going to assume it means 17 years old.

It is strangely arousing isn't it. Can't be helped. I like the fact that you needed to know how old they were so as not to feel like a pedo while getting your freak on.

Well, given the freedom to choose, I think 17 is a good year.

[Guard Dog]

My last real fist fight was in the military. In the Philippines no less. Fights in the bars around Olongapo & Subic City were common. Marines would fight the Navy, the Aussie Navy, French Foreign Legion, Philippine defense forces, US Air force from Clark, you name it. And if no one else was around we fought each other. There was a running joke that is you didn't get at least one NJP in the PI you weren't really there!

Sorry to dampen your fantasy, but 7th grade is 12-13 year olds.  That's actually the grade I teach.  So watch it

I went for a bike ride this morning.  I rode about 23 miles in just under 2 hours with plenty of climbing, including a 2 mile long climb with a little over 500 ft elevation change for the final climb.  Absolutely perfect conditions for riding:  Low 60s when I left, mid-upper 60s when I got back.  Practically no humidity, mild breeze.  Gorgeous autumn foliage, relatively low amounts of traffic.  The ride was simply spectacular.  I feel fantastic right now.  Once my adrenaline fully wears off I'll grab a bite to eat, crack open a beer, and plant my ass on the couch for a day of NFL watching.

[Labadal]

Watched my football team advance to second place. Suarez, you are the man.

[Azdeus]

I hope you did'nt get any injuries, Ros. Especially fingers have a tendency to get busted, wich you typically don't notice until the day after.

 

I think it's been a couple of years since I was in a proper fight, my friends don't LARP anymore, so I don't have to otherwise amuse myself by prowling around town for the neonazi rejects that typically harass them. I'm kind of embarassed to admit it, but fighting is alot of fun, aslong as you can count on no knives or bats being brought out when the other side is losing.

[Nepenthe]

I'm big and inoffensive, so I don't get into a lot of fights. Came close at the last office xmas party, but then the girls whose honour I was protecting leapt to my defence and the other guy decided to call it a day ;D

 

+I deal with too many aftermaths of too many bar fights that wind up costing people too much.

[Woldan]

Even though I'm kind of aggressive I never get into fights, don't know why, nobody ever treats me in such a disrespectful way that I would start a fistfight.

 

What I did today: went to the H.R Giger exhibition, cool stuff, they even showed a short film showing Giger making Alien art/props and the derelict ship of Alien 1.

Might it be because your arms are bigger than most adult men are? ;D

I think this is the 3rd time in my life.. I'm not the guy that goes looking for fights and I never throw the first punch, but in hindsight I have to admit I went out pretty angry and so, to no surprise, I found exactly the trouble I was looking for.

 

Had a good talk with a friend about it and realized learning from these kind of mistakes is how you grow in life.

[Woldan]

Yeah, I guess most people just want to enjoy a good fight and not get beaten to death lol.

[PK htiw klaw eriF]

The last time I got in a fight, I got hit with a bottle and had to pick out glass from my arm. Wasn't a very good experience.
