15 seconds from a beat down. Phew.

But he's an important step in the right direction.

 

Is that all it takes to get the SportsJournalists.com chicks? I'm hitting the construction site tomorrow, spoiling for a fight.

 

Do remember, Ace, they can't date a corpse.

 

This story will be told in many social circles with varied degrees of importance. It was an interesting piece of Americana for a few moments. Too bad Ragu can't be a fly on the wall of all the places in which folks involved with rehash the story. I wonder if it got caught on any surveillance camera. What if Ragu hadn't been there?

Seriously, that was a brave and noble deed.

 

Did you get the woman's number?

 

If you embellished in later re-tellings ... you earned it, buddy. We need more like you.

Exactly. As Tiger Williams said in his autobiography, there should be no such thing as a fair fight. Someone should have an advantage and they should be using it. It doesn't matter how you get the advantage, as long as you get it.

Start packing the heat. Or one of those collapsible police batons that double in size with a flick of the wrist. Hell, even a can of pepper spray will do.

And act like the biggest psycho you've ever seen or heard of in your life -- start by mumbling into your hand, then progress to eye and head twitches. By the time you're scratching at the imaginary spiders and shouting profane non-sequiturs, odds are your opponent is looking for a way out. If not, hey, you've already psyched yourself up, so just go into screaming banshee mode and do that motherfucker in.

P.S. You should be proud of what you did in standing up for that woman and those kids. Kudos.
