Velvet Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 I've decided that the next time I encounter any semblance of aggressive interaction I will immediately punch the aggressor as hard as I can in the face.I've never attempted this strategy before, but I think it might work.Nothing really set this off, just thought I'd share a thought!Be nice to me at Bluesfest people.

StoneMtn Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Weirdly enough, Todd, for some reason this topic just came up between me and my SCUBA instructor. Apparently his Dad is an ex-biker. He recommends that if you're ever surrounded by a bunch of guys, so you're outnumbered, the only strategy that works is to knock the guy who's talking on his ass before he finishes talking. Invariably, this causes the others to leave.I'll let you know how it works out the next time I'm swarmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearsAlongTheSea Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Also, you should notify your girlfriend about this; make sure she's on her best behavior. Domestic violence at Bluesfest is frowned upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazlo Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 I've decided that the next time I encounter any semblance of aggressive interaction I will immediately punch the aggressor as hard as I can in the face.Might I suggest using your elbow or possibly throwing a head butt. Hands tend to break easier than you would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarfmaster C Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 so how's that working out for you, velvet?does this mean that instead of coming to say hello to me by punching me lightly on the back, that you will now approach me with hugs? or should i start wearing protection? :crazy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearsAlongTheSea Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 I just saw velvet at Michael Franti. Mildly disturbing. Everytime Franti asked how Velvet was feeling, he started wailing on some crippled guy that was sitting next to him making funny faces. It may have been a misunderstanding. Personally, I think it's the fascist hair-cut. Tone it down a notch buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 (edited) Franti has the same effect on me, too. He is an odd performer, though. We caught a little of him tonight as we were walking around downtown (hard to miss - helluva PA they've got there), and every time he'd say something really poignant or you'd think he'd reached his audience with some candid or sincere reflection on the fragility of the human condition, he'd come out wailing with one of his HOWYAFEELING?!!s. Is he deliberately trying to be ironic, or keep the mood light, or is he just stoking people's latent tendencies towards said skinhead, fascistic violence?[edit to add] - perhaps inspired by Velvet's razor adventures last weekend, I lost the beard this afternoon (first time in almost a decade). Will have to see if I am in fact feeling more violent in the morning. I'll try to keep news of anything I get into out of the back pages of the Ottawa South Weekender.

phorbesie Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 i thought the "how you feelin" count was pretty low tonight actually, compared to usual. that said, we did finish our drinks really quick (drinking every time he said it).i think velvet was just feeling angry about the guy at CSNY abusing meggo and i...
