I'm going to piggyback on the "fight tips" thread and see how many of you guys have been in an actual fistfight (with a non-relative). Lotsa good stories and good tips. I'd bet 60-70 percent of BBS members have thrown down. I've never been in a fight, except with my brother. With waterguns. We banged them over each other's head. (The second choice in the poll should read "No," obviously)
My wife gives me a black eye at least once a week. Thats what i get for not handing over the remote when I'm told.
A few when I was kid against other kids in my neighborhood. We'd play ball in the empty lot between our house and my neightbors across from us. Was with a tennisball. Anyhow anytime someone would question a call being a strike or when someone was really frustrated. Fight time. Same with football. We'd play streetfootball which essentially meant you can tackle someone if they're close to the sidewalk and can land in the grass. Otherwise it's touch if they're running up the middle. Sometimes some people were stuck too hard when trailing around the sidewalk. Needless say fights Fight over a basketball. **** tip offs. Throw down. I was mostly pretty passive. I'd throw down if someone struck me first. Once they did usually my first punch would knock straight to the floor. Although the one fight where I did get my ass kicked, was over basketball. Ended up fighting right in my front lawn next to the drive in where we had a goal built up. The guy struck me first and never gave me a chance to strike back. Basically pinned my arms and legs down and sat on top of me wailing at my right eye til I gave up struggling to get him off me. Had a good shiner for a week that changes many nasty colors. Otherwise I could more than handle my own, and people were wise enough to not get in a fight with me. I didn't take any **** as a kid.
I used to get into fights all the time growing up but I'm haven't been in one since 1995 when I was a sophomore in high school.
Last fight I was in was in 3rd grade. After school a friend threw my "100's and 1000's" sandwiches on the ground so I beat the crap out of him. I dont know what came over me.
Believe it or not, I've been in a fight. Only one that I can recall, though. In seventh grade, this girl (who always had a screw loose, but was still pretty popular) started punching me and daring me to hit her. I wanted to be a pacifist and refused to play along (particularly since she was an athlete, I wasn't yet at that time, and I didn't like my chances in a fight). But, when I got home, I couldn't keep my mouth shut, and told my parents. My dad taught me a few moves... ...and I got to use them. The next morning, as soon as I got to school, she started it again. Everyone was sitting on the steps waiting for them to unlock the building. This time, when she punched me and told me to hit her, I said "O.K...." and grabbed her bangs with my left hand and put my right hand on her collarbone. Then I pushed her backwards and eventually down. She was terrified. I was going to hold her down and beat on her until I got her to promise to leave me alone, but she got out from under me. Then the psycho chick starts telling <i>me</i> to leave <i>her</i> alone. (why did she start it then?!?) She tried to push me down the stairs; amazingly, I just landed on my feet on a lower step. Then she gave up. I gathered up my stuff and sat down with everybody like nothing had happened. I was afraid I was going to get suspended for fighting, because they're supposed to do that no matter who started it. But no one ever reported it. I was afraid of running into her that day, but she went home and didn't come to class. Maybe she had been hurt worse than I thought. People said she told the office that she "fell"... she wasn't going to admit she was fighting either. No one messed with me again. As they say, when girls fight, they really fight... everybody took my side on this one, of course, but that psycho girl was still more popular overall than me, and remained that way. I don't understand social dynamics sometimes. She was always kind of weird (and I wondered about her... a year before, in sixth grade, that same girl had started snapping my bra, and even unhooked it through my shirt one time). She eventually moved out of town, and I heard she was pregnant by her mid-teens.
Don't be gay, Sparky. Admit it, you were the wuss getting your butt handed to you when you mouthed off.
Yes. It's how I got my two front teeth knocked out as a kid. That's a different way to lose your baby teeth!
Not since eighth grade. I've tried to start several since then but people keep backing off. They can't possibly be scared of me beating them -- I've only ever started fights with guys bigger than me. Probably just don't want my blood on their clothes.
Sweet a cat fight. Elaine: Well, I tried, but he thought it was some sort of cat fight. Kramer: Cat fight? Elaine: Ok, why? Why do guys do this? What is so appealing to men about a cat fight? Kramer: Yeye cat fight! Jerry: Because men think if women are grabbing and clawing at each other there's a chance they might somehow kiss. Kramer: T-t-t-t...
Just on girls fighting...my sister had a fight not to long ago that shocked everyone in the family. There was a girl at her college come up to my sister and her friend. This girl didnt like my sister and said something nasty to her. Out of no where my sister grabbed this girl and punched the crap out of her. Im mean, she had to be dragged off this girl because she had her on the ground punching her in the face. My sister was pretty upset afterwards. A teacher said to my sister "Your bleeding" but it turned out to be the other girls blood! Anyway my sister settled down once she got home and I kept singing that song from Rocky "Eye of the Tiger". When she went back the next day, she was a hero. It turned out no one liked the girl she beat up.
I've always been slightly embarrassed that I've never been in a fight. Having avoided physical violence for 28 years should be reason for celebration, but I almost feel like I need to explain myself. Must be my machismo. Or lack thereof.
Mate....its the smart option. Its better then being able to say "I decided to fight this guy, he pulled out a gun and shot me. Now I cant walk".
Dont make me get my sister and get her to kick your ass! The only thing my sister was supposed to have said to this girl before she bash her was "Im going to knock you into bolivian".
