I’ve never been in a fun fight but I couldn’t help but laugh after this episode:
Growing up in a river town, you had better always keep your head on a swivel. This particular night was no different.
Mid 20’s I went to a little pub with a group of buddies. It had a back patio that happened to be pretty full, I guess 40/50 people.
Their was a group of guys that was know to cross the river from whatever shiithole they were from and start trouble. This particular group liked to see if they could knock someone out with one punch then usually dipped as the doo doo spun off of the fan.
I was minding my business, flirting with a girl and I heard what sounded like a pop gun go off. I look up and one of my buddies is sliding to the ground, back up against the wooden fence in the back. Someone crumbled his azz with one shot.
So I look at the girl and says “I’ll be right back.” Like a super hero I jumped into action. My other buddy was then going round per round with the perpetrator and a crowd kinda formed around in a circle.
I pushed my way in the front in time to see a smaller guy with a ponytail /rattail thingy take his boot to my buddy as they hit the ground.
I clocked in.
I grabbed dude by the back of his hoody and he quickly rips it off, kinda tangling both of us in it.
At this moment, I knew I had 17ed up. Number 1, he had a ponytail. Number two he had a hoody….and under the hood was a big azz armored meat head. He also had an eyebrow piercing…we will get to that later.
I backed way up as he started to square up and began bouncing towards me like he has done been in this situation many of times. Right as he arrived and opened up to swing I threw a perfect jab ….kind of like how you knock Tyson out on Punch Out Nintendo game.
He staggered back to my surprise and put his hand to his mouth and saw his own blood. Then he took the blood, stuck his tongue out and licked his hand. Kinda smiled…then put an artillery style 4 punch combo upside my head.
I grabbed him as I was going down and we both fell into a table and started wrestling. I was bleeding everywhere but was able to get him one other time…but nothing like he got me.
Someone yelled “Cops” and everyone scattered in all directions. I managed to find my hat and phone and dashed inside. I threw the bathroom door open and locked the door and flipped the lights on.
Turned around and 17ing ponytail is sitting on the toilet in the corner, hiding like everyone else. Was just him and I. I paused. He said “hey brah, you surprised the 17 out of me with that jab!” I couldn’t help but bust out laughing. I was bleeding out the top of my eye and bottom of the other eye.
We spent the next ten minutes taking wet paper towels and cleaning each other up …..peeking out the door until everything settled down.
Then I went outside and helped him find his eyebrow ring that somehow came out.
Never ever 17 with a guy in a hoody with a rat tail. Just don’t do it.
