Re: Re: Weekend Drunk Thread, 6/14 .....and from you, a musician; I thought I'd get an understanding ear. Do you like Shania Twain?
I've finally met a crazy motherfucker who makes me fear for my safety. I'd go into more but fuck, I've never feared for my physical well being like I did last night
Cocaine is a helluva drug. edit: Anyone watching these two dumpy naked hippies whine and complain in the middle of the rainforest? This is the best Discovery can do after not having a guy fall in the Grand Canyon?
I think the next show will just follow around yuppies shopping at Whole Foods. All the channels we used to watch guilt-free set the bar lower and lower every year.

Riots in Brazil, floods in Canada and India, violent protests in Korea...shit, it's days like this that make Honduras look like a safe choice.
The best way to deal with folks like that is to laugh at them. (Unless they're a patched biker, then the best course of action is to apologize profusely for being born,) There are very few actual psychopaths out there. Then again I may have to deal with more miscreants feeling cocky because of my size then normal people. I'm just big enough to be intimidating, but not big enough to truly scare the shit out of some dumbass drunk bound and determined to pick a fight. Laughing at them gives them a quick easy out from actually finding out if I'm kidding or not when I whisper that I plan on fucking them with a pineapple. Why is it that so many drunks decide to go up to the tallest guy around and loudly announce that he's going to kick his ass?
I fucking hated this when I was a regular at the bars, it was always the short drunk guys that would blatantly just start shit for no reason. Never understood it.
Trust me as a short guy who has started exactly two fights in my life, both with the same guy just slightly taller than me. We got the short end of the deal when it comes to the fragile male ego. It's kind of the chicken and the egg. If tall dudes didn't have to stroke their ego by starting shit with little guys, little guys wouldn't have to start so much shit with taller guys to stroke their ego. I couldn't count the times every dude and inch taller and up than me started shit because in the male mind height advantage immediately equals unbeatable fighting prowess. I learned to laugh shit off just because I didn't need to be getting in fights every other weekend in college. If I was ever with a girl, forget about it, dudes go into super crazy douche mode. edit: Also I had actually missed the tight rope over the Grand Canyon earlier and am watching the replay. Knowing the Wallenda's are religious nuts really helps the puzzle fall into place.
I don't think you fully understand the phenomenon I'm speaking of. I only had to stand up and go to the restroom at a bar when I was younger and someone was trying to pick a fight with me. Drunk: "Oh you think you're tough? I kicked a guy's ass last week that was bigger then you!" Me: "That's wonderful." Drunk: "You want to go? Let's take it outside." Me laughing: "Calm down, I'll buy you a beer, you're funny" and then whispering "You really don't want to do this my friend." Drunk: "Don't make me put my beer down." *Dramatically puts his beer on the floor* Me: *Picks beer back up and hands it to drunk* "Go sit your ass down." This shit happened every damned week.
Depended on the place but yeah brushing shoulders walking through crowded bars was enough for the same scene to play out. But with a little more swallowing of the pride because a bulk of the time the guy did have a very big height and size advantage. If I was with a girl or talking with a girl you wouldn't believe how out of control guys would get. I don't think you understand how much guys want to prove themselves by fighting who ever they think they can take. You put that same mentality into a small guy who constantly gets shit over that shortcoming and you wonder why there is a "short man syndrome"?
I'm sure you speak the truth, but what I'm talking about doesn't involve brushing shoulders or talking to a girl. Simply drinking a beer and minding my own business would mean an encounter with someone wanting to fight. I never had to fight any of them because usually my mouth would diffuse the situation, or if I was with friends they'd intervene and explain that picking a fight was a really, really bad idea.
And you would think with pretty much everyone in their famiy being killed or paralyzed that they would learn better.
Anybody else waiting for the big Amanda Bynes meltdown that would make Lindsay Lohan look like mother Theresa? She seems squarely on the path. I'm hoping for a sex tape.
Your stories make your life sound like the best 80's movie ever. Or worst, depending on genre preference.
