its funny but when i saw the thread title 'fights'
i thought it was yet another commentary on the latest forum shenanigans
I do have a good fight story though ..
one i can tell my kid as a moral thingy .. but times have changed so it probably wont be too relevant.
When i was back in late highschool (when dinosaurs roamed the earth) a buddy of mine asked me to help DJ dances at the Rowing club as a series of fund raisers. (i had a shitpile of records even then)
We were doing really well with them but sooner or later the inevitable happens and we got a guy acting like an asshole that had to be thrown out.
Since then he started messing with me at school .. trying to goad me into a fight .. pushing me in the halls.
I was 6'2" then .. i didnt fight .. a big guy has nothing to gain by kicking the snot out of a smaller guy .. so i avoided fighting and the odd stupid person took that for me being a pussy.
One day i had enough (he shoved me into a locker) so i grabbed the front of his shirt and swung my fist at his face .. intentionally missing it by 1/8 of an inch - and hitting the locker as hard as i could .. right across the vents .. which dented in and cut my hands.
I shook my bloody fist in his face saying .. next time this goes into your fucking mouth .... and the guy turned white.
never bothered me again .. even tried to be my buddy.
It was the perfect way to gain respect without getting into a fight.
Nowadays the guy would pull a gun out of his locker and blow my brains out ... but thats progress.
