I mean like a full-on punch up.

It was like 5 years ago for me.

I busted my friends lip open the other day though, when we were drunk and he kept slapping the back of my head. I turned around and socked him one. I'm tough.

Do you believe in reincarnation? If so, probably 1943.

Real fight? Probably when I was a kid. I've probably got the record for most 'near fights'. There's been at least a dozen times where I figured this is going south in mere seconds, only to have someone step in. In my hometown I seem to rub people the wrong way, particularly drunks, despite being no louder or more obnoxious than anyone else. I always figure it's a cross between the hair and clothes I wear. After I got married, the near fights went to zero because my brother in law is a notorious brawler known for seriously injuring folk.

I'm quite big and (normally) very cowardly so those factors usually mean one of the potential combatants will back down.

However being a soccer fan means sometimes having to throw a punch in self defence or to clear a path to the coaches. There's been maybe 2 or 3 incidents this year but my chronology probably isn't 100%.

I think the last time I actually had to hit someone was 1997.

There's always some a-hole thinks its smart to pick a fight with the biggest guy in the room. He is usually wrong. Not cos I'm tough, but because I roll with a click of gorillas like I hang at the zoo. And it Hell's Angel's style, one for all.

But, I usually only get involved when someone is picking on one of my smaller friends. Me and Bloor have busted each other in the chops a few times while drunk, I think we quit that after he hit me dead ass in the lip with a metal coffee cup in the kitchen at Redlands, tho.

There is one dude who may get dropped, and is lucky Bloor and I have both decided he ain't worth it.

I got involved in this ridiculous fight about 4-5 years ago. Basically my best friend and I left a bar to go check on a friend who I heard got sucker punched in the face. Walked into a full brawl that left us no choice but to fight . I've always been lucky when it comes to these things and walked out fine. My best friend however got the ever living shit kicked out of him.

Around the same time at Mardi Gras that year, we (by we I mean most of the people I knew at LSU like 400 people) got jumped by about 500 thugs with no shirts in New Orleans for no reason other than they were thugs. It was crazy. Bottles were thrown at us. A friend of mine got cracked over the head with a bottle. The police came in riot gear to break it up. It was very strange. One minute everyone is drinking and having a good time, the next your being tackled by some steroid freak with no shirt. The thugs all got arrested. We continued to party.

That's the only fights I've ever been that were a big deal.

Dude, that shit was FUNNY. I honestly thought I knocked your front teeth out and felt bad but just could not stop laughing.

No, he isnt worth it, but he needs a beating in the worst way. I'm sure he probably feels the same way about me; Maybe Scotty D will take on the job pro bono.


I got into a couple of drunken brawls with a good friend of mine in college. This dude started taking Tae Kwon Do or some shit, would get drunk and think he was fucking Bruce Lee. So then when he got grilled his response was to either A. Pull my hair or B. hit me in the nads

Scotty D will do whatever, he's down. That dude ain't even worth Scotty D's time. And I think someone had a talk with him, cos the last 2 times I've seen him, he's backed off the "I just wanna see how I'd fair against you" talk.

After I realizzed I had all my teeth, the coffee cup thing was funny, especially because you fucking Randy Johnson'd that fucker.

TaeKwonDo... :roll:

Yeah, it just struck me the irony that I fucking love the scene in the Big Lebowski where the cop grills the Dude with the coffee cup.

Life imitates art sometimes, I suppose.

I haven't been in a fight in at leas 11yrs, and the only reason it was a fight was that I got tired of one of my high school bandmates annoying me while we took pictures and I backhanded him in the nose.
I had one of those incidents like Bonor Obnerst when I was a Junior in High School. I was 5'2" at the time, and a much taller but equally skinny classmate was giving me crap and I jacked him in the jaw. He was so surprised I took a swing and inflicted some pain that he basically stood quiet in shock.
The last time I avoided a fight was during my first year of grad school. I was downtown with some friends at the bars and it had been snowing all night. The streets were icy and snowpacked enough by the time the bars closed that usual police presence was not there. As soon as it was closing time, a huge snowball fight broke out with one side of the street facing off against the other side. After a while a group of african american gentlemen made it known they were crossing the street and didn't want to be hit by a snowball. As they said this, one of my friends let his snowball fly and it hit one the guys. They ran up on my friends and it appeared as if the smallest black guy was going to beat up my equally small friend. Since I don't dress or look like I would associate with my friends, and I was wearing a 70's style fake leather coat with the faux fur collar, they gave me a quick glance and then went about cussing out my friends. Before any punches could be thrown, the largest guy in their group pulled the little guy away and they went after some mouthy guy behind us.

College.
I was a Freshman/pledge at my fraternity.
A sophmore was trying to "motivate" me to clean up after a party; roused me from my bed, threw me against a wall, and held me there. He got right in my face and growled at me to get to work.

I headbutted him and threw him to the ground.

That was as far as it went and that was the last time I was in any sort of a fight.

I can't remember that far back. I think it was in high school. Can't remember anything more recent than that.
