15 seconds from a beat down. Phew.

Thanks, Zeke! Should it ever come to that, I'll aim for the nose. The only thing that troubled me about the punch-the-throat theory is that it's possible to kill someone like that if you smash the trachea and they can't breathe. Nose...non-lethal but effective. I think I could sneak in a strong jab. One advantage of being svelte is speed.

Or you could drink at places where 300-pound guys aren't trying to kick your scrawny ass.

Just sayin.

I have a cool update. It only took the guys in the pizzeria a half a day to find out what site the guy from yesterday was working at, and they got his name from one of the other workers. They've already talked to the owner of the construction company, who is taking it seriously, and they have a call into the local cement and concrete workers union. I'll let you know if I find out anything more about what comes of it. It's so awesome that they nailed this guy, though.

I've actually seen a buddy pull this one off...

Bar disagreement between a friend and an acquaintance. Buddy senses it's about to jump off, walks over to the acquaintance, puts his arm around him, gives him assurances, tells him he knows that his buddy's being a **** but we can't have any fighting in here.

When the guy won't back down, despite my buddy giving him all the outs and letting him escape with his pride intact, my buddy reaches up to scratch his ear, then goes right from there to the nose shot. Then we hit the road.

But it was the end of that fight.

When I'm in a city and I want a pint, I find a nice pub. There's no such thing as a nice bar in this tiny town in the middle of nowhere. All the drinking establishments are rough places. Of course no one's forcing me to go to them, but I do on occasion, anyway.

What superhero is Ragu?

He's with the cement and concrete workers union? ****. You're ****ed.

Say hello to Jimmy Hoffa for us.

nice. but now stay away from the site and the pizzeria. lay low for a few weeks, at least relative to the site.

 

[Chef]

This dude probably owns the construction company.

RIP, Ragu.

 

[Dirk Legume]

Ragu,

I have a salary negotiation coming up. Are you for hire by any chance? Just wait for my bosses to make an offer and do your crazy guy thing.

Gold Ragu. Pure gold!

 

[JR]

Say hello to Jimmy Hoffa for us.

Exactly what I was thinking.
Ragu is going to be part of a new stadium---somewhere.

Why couldnt this construction worker have watched the Saddam hanging with the same vigor as the 10 year old?

I get the feeling you smiled when you thought it, too!

Don't worry. No one knows my name--at least as it stands now--exactly where I work or where I live. And if you saw the people involved, you might be a little less worried. Not to stereotype, but my sense is that the cement and concrete workers union bosses report to friends of the guys who own the pizzeria.

The tall tale continues.

 

[The Big Ragu]

Holy ****. The message board troll has called me a liar three times. So what the hell. I'll give him the attention he's craving.

I guess that'll teach me to outargue him in a serious discussion and cause several other people to call him an idiot on the Balco reporters' thread. But boy does he know how to get even with me. He can't hang with me in a serious discussion, so he'll stalk me from thread to thread and lob nasty insults, and when that doesn't get a good enough reaction, he'll just crash my thread and call me a liar over and over again.

Dude, the next time I post something attributing words or thoughts to you will be the first time I have ever done it. Yet, you follow me around the board making up **** and attributing it to me. The next time I follow you onto a thread and insult you unsolicited, will be the first time I have ever done it. Yet I can't log on here anymore without you stalking me from thread to thread and being a nasty little psycho****. I won't even call you a liar--a moron yes, a troll yes, a loser yes--but only a major-league asshole calls someone a liar three times for no reason because being a nasty asswipe on every thread isn't quite psychotic enough.

So congratulations ****head. You got your reaction.

More tall tales in that response. I realize you think you did OK in the Balco discussion because you used the usual avoid-the-argument strategy by bringing up a lot of hypothetical, irrelevant bull**** and using it as a diversion. That's a common strategy in today's illogical, dysfunctional newsroom environment.

Paragraph 3 is pure, unadulterated bull****, but I have no interest in getting into a pissing match over that part.

 

[The Big Ragu]

The Balco thread speaks for itself. And people did speak. Sorry your ego was bruised. But it's no reason to go psycho on me again.

Why not do everyone a favor, finally flame out and nuke your screen name, like you did when you were Sauronseye and like you did when you were poloponies. You know why you can't hide from those names? Because no matter what name you eventually come back with, everyone recognizes the asshole behind the name.

 

[Inky_Wretch]

Paragraph 3 is pure, unadulterated bull****, but I have no interest in getting into a pissing match over that part.

But you have no problems getting into a pissing matches in general.

 

[DyePack]

I'd miss seeing your bull**** every day if I did that.

So tell me -- what exactly did you prove on the Balco thread? You -- and many others -- never did come up with a response to the argument the prosecution is likely going to present. That would seem to be sort of, you know, the main issue.

Now you'll present a bunch of hypothetical bull**** to conceal your lack of a response.

Usually. But the ones over "who started it" are just sad.

You have no interest in getting into a pissing match? You've been trying to provoke them for more than a year. Show me ONE ****ING TIME that I have gone on a thread and attributed some bull**** to you, the way you have continually do with me. I have never done a "Dyepack believes" or "Dyepack says" post. Show me all the threads that I have followed you into, in order to insult you.

You can't, ****head.

All I have to do is hit the search button to pull up the examples of you doing that on thread after thread. Why the **** are you so obsessed with me?

You're a miserable, obnoxious twit.
