Semi-Rant

[Bryan]

I'm in the DFW area. What bar were you in?

[Roan Carter]

My dad's family once owned a bar in Roanoke.

His advice was to piss off a man before you piss off a woman, because the guys are more likely to fight over her than theirselves.

Strange. O_o

But I'm glad you stood your ground and made it clear she was rude. Her behavior makes me feel icky.

I did security around Roanoke for a few years. My rule was to avoid barfights at any cost. Most of those boys don't know how to fight, but they are so tough that skill really isn't a factor.

Actually that is a general policy. Have known fellows to have judges throw the book at them for a drunken scrap and that record haunts them forever.

I think we are lucky to have a representative like AnimalK who was able to act with class and defuse a situation that could have cast a dim light on us all.

A million drunks can punch out a million other drunks with virtually no major media attention. As soon as a guy in kilt injures some idiot who richly deserves it, prime time. And they will probably bring up every other 'kilted' offense they can.

Anybody remember the recent national attention for the couple attempting to propogate the species in M.N. apparently in a location and manner which displeased the locals? How about the poor old fellow who whimsically answered "the question' at the celtic festival.

How many couples get caught in the act? How many moonings get national coverage? Kilted for some reason means newsworthy.

At least in this case, our man was trustworthy.

My wife could easily be described as a "Biker chick", and she is definitely NOT shy... she would never do something as tasteless as that. Most motorcyclists (I know) wouldn't. Most of us just want to have a good time... not bother anyone, nor be bothered.

Perldog hit the nail on the head: You know the old saying: "Instant A**hole, just add alcohol".
Sounds like you ran into a "fair-weather-biker", struttin' his stuff, with his wannabe floozy.

You played it well... regardless of whatever bar you were in... you had a right to not be bothered.

Imbibing in the drink too heavily just magnifies behavior that is already present, not making someone act against what is truly their "normal" personality (it just may be much more repressed).

Good Job in standing up for not being another "kilted man in the news".

Imbibing in the drink too heavily just magnifies behavior that is already present,

That reminds me of the Bill Cosby routine about cocaine. He asks a man why he does cocaine.

The man answers that it intensifies your personality.

Bill answers back, "But what if you're an a--hole?"

Well handled, AnimalK. I respect your restrained and responsible reaction.

[LordKiltClad]

You know K if you would call the rest of us kilted yolkals to come join ya for a drink, you wouldn't be the only one kilted.

OR

if you came to kilt night with the rest of us, you could have been chatting up the Coors Light promos girls at the Tipp. Just sayin.

I've felt the same way when a totally strange woman has done such a thing to me. I've also had some great fun when a not so strange woman has finally collected or drank enough courage to check. The look on their faces is priceless. I guess it all boils down to my mood and familiarity w/ the perpetrator at the time.

This just shows once again that there is a great double standard between what men are allowed to do and what women are allowed to do.

Sounds like you handled it well.
