I think like, four years ago. It wasn't much of a fight, I got jumped by three guys and had my ass handed to me.

I've had a few incidents recently, but nothing I'd really consider a good fight.

I bet if this question was asked in a hiphop forum or something, I'd see either a lot of responses, or a lot of made-up stories.

I wish I was making my story up. Then that would mean I would of never went to prison. I can not see how a man can go through life without fighting. I was probably raised alot different than most guys here though. I just couldn't back down from a fight when I was younger. Nowadays its easy. I don't have anything to prove. I cherish my freedom way too much. After something like your freedom is taken away from you it gives you a different perspective on life.

Did you learn the word "alot" in prison? Is that code for butt sechs?

Last time I actually got in a fight some dude snatched the bag of weed I'd just bought and started walking away. Since he was black and I was white and in the hood, he figured I'd just get back in my truck and leave. Instead I locked my truck up and punched him in the head.

We fought for about 10 minutes in the middle of the block and as we were fighting the cops came and he ran off. I think we both got our shots in, but he still got away with the weed. That was about 15 years ago and I haven't had occasion to throw down with anyone since. Nobody ever challenged me over there again and later I quit doing drugs and stopped putting myself into bad situations.

Sorry man I don't do the whole butt sex thing. Funny how being on an internet forum you have finally grown the set of balls you've never had your whole life.

Do sparring matches count?

Otherwise none. Came close a couple of times in high school, but nothing serious.

You rack da disciprine!

I sometimes find fights amusing, in a rather pathetic sort of way - chimps fight and scream over who gets the best branches of a fig tree. People do the exact same thing, but we call ourselves "civilized." We've got a few million years on them evolutionarily, yet we still so readily resort to the same primitive idiocy.

Never been in a fight. I've swinged at people as a warning when they are trying to invoke me, but never been in an actual fight. The closest I'd say is when this 8th grader seriously wanted to beat me up. I was in grade 12 and started to walk closer and I was laughing in his face. We were about same size but I probably could have taken him on but he backed off when I mentioned the grade I was in. People always underestimate my age.

Open mouth, insert foot.
But I guess it's better than the dicks that were in there while you were in prison?

Not since 1999, thankfully. I have a very limited set of circumstances in which I'll gladly wade into a fight. Drunk rednecks looking to impress friends isn't one of them, but damn some A-holes just force you to give them an attitude adjustment.

Since then, the only scenario close to that would be breaking up a few scuffles. Last fight I broke up was between two Peruvian girls. I used an agitated 2L bottle of Sprite as I wasn't close to a hose. Worked like a charm. :)

College.

Guy was drunk, I was buzzed. He was belligerent and threw a broken beer bottle at me and my friends. I punched him a couple times in the face. His friend showed up, the police showed up, I got a $150 ticket for disorderly conduct.

Your just a broke down old man with nothing better to do than post 30,000 times on a computer forum. If I was in my 50's with nothing better to do than post on ATOT I'd be bitter too. I may have been to prison but at least I got out and have a life. You've had 50+ years to do something with your life and all you could come up with is Elite Member status on ATOT. Your pathetic. Now take your hand off your wanker and get off your porn box then try to do something with your pathetic life. Maybe human contact?

Never really. Kinda rolled-around, no real punches, with a kid in elementary school (fifth grade maybe). Did a "Fight Club" kinda thing with friends when I was like 17 but it didn't last long cause I smacked my friend in the nose and it started bleeding (we weren't supposed to hit in the face and I missed cause he kinda ducked).

Oh the ironing. Attention whore much?
This is the second post in a row where you've mentioned being in prison. Well one useful bit of information we learned from your post is that you didn't learn to spell in prison!
Oh and wwybywb?
