    Thankfully none, and i intend it to stay that way.
    Im not trying to make myself look like some kind of hardcase, but i certainly wouldnt do a Rimmer, im far to belligerent, ...and i always think im in the right...

    So you are judging your performance in a fight on yoru childhood. Have you not matured in that time?

    In the context of that quote, he's spot on, since Mal goes on to stab the guy and say "Guess I'm just a good man", then stab him again and finish with "Well, I'm alright."

    :lol: You'd stand up for yourself, Dan? :rofl:

    Shit, crows were eating your garden awhile back, and you wouldn't even scare them off--"they have more of a right to it than I do" or something like that, right?

    I can see you getting your ass kicked and coming here to say "well, I probably deserved that."

    What a load of bullshit. Rather typical of you.
    I started a thread and asked for a good way to scare them off and no-one came up with a good answer. When someone suggested killing them i said that was a stupid idea :shrug: And i was right...

    Did you try using some of those heavy, aluminum foil type disposable pie crust plate thingies tied to a pole with some string?

    Naa, that problem sorted itself out within a few days, i think they were just trying to find nesting material. I didnt want a solution that scared off birds... as my garden is full of bird feeders and i often try (and invariably fail) to get some good bird shots. These crows were just a pain for a week or 2

    Okay...but if you ever need to, you poke a hole in the pie plate, then with about a foot or so of string, you tie one end of the string to the plate, and the other to the top of a pole, then you stick the pole in the ground in your garden, and then when the crows come around, you kill them. :techman:

    So. In some sort of attempt to segue back to the original topic, does this British soldier's heroism and action sufficiently heroic enough to offset Dan's pussyism and inaction? Have we found the Anti-Dan? Is there an award the Crown provides for that?

    This soldier only risked life and limb to kill a bunch of terrorist scum who really had it coming and, in the process, saved a whole bunch of his comrades in arms while serving his country and bettering the world for all mankind.

    That's not nearly enough to offset Dan's contribution to the average. :diacanu:

    They are only avoidable if both sides want to avoid them. If one side wants them, it's on. And you know, you can be in the wrong place at the wrong time and still get drug into something through no fault of your own.

    And I was drinking a bar when a guy swung on me because he was a Budwiser man and I dared to order a Sam Adams. So what?

    Only because I ducked when he telegraphed his punch and then punched him in the babymaker for his trouble. But I wasn't looking for a fight and wasn't a retard because I'd been in one. I was just a target for a guy looking for a fight.
