3. Answers
1 - Have you ever been in a fistfight?

Yes, several. Mostly when I was a kid, but a few when I was a young adult, and a bouncer.

2 - Have you ever started a fistfight?

Yes, it was the only severe ass kicking I ever got, and I deserved it. I was 11.

3 - Have you ever "won" a fistfight?

Yes. I wailed on three drug dealers in the laundry room at the last apartment building I lived in. I won a couple as a bouncer too, correspondingly the only two I was in. The first was a gang of teenagers pulling a guy out of his car, and I intervened and held them at bay until the cops arrived. By then two of them had broken legs, and one was out cold. The second was when a couple of members of a band at the club dragged the owner outside and started wailing on him. I broke that up too. When the police arrived I had a fat lip, they had broken ribs and a broken wrist.

4 - Have you ever bought your fistfight opponent a drink afterwards?

No

5 - Have you ever been bought a beer by your fistfight opponent afterwards?

No

6 - Have you ever have someone pull a weapon during a fistfight?

Yes, the kids from the band that were beating the club owner pulled a box knife.

7 - If so, what did you do?

I broke his wrist and gave the knife to the police.

8 - Ever been arrested for being in a fistfight?

No

9 - Have you ever talked your way out of a fight?

Several times, usually as a kid.

10 - Have you ever deliberately tried to get into a fistfight?

Only once, and I got my clock cleaned.

4. Okay, this made me realize I was a really evil kid.
1 - Have you ever been in a fistfight? Yes.

2 - Have you ever started a fistfight? Well, if running up to somebody and pounding the crap out of them counts. :P

4 - Have you ever bought your fistfight opponent a drink afterwards? No.

5 - Have you ever been bought a beer by your fistfight opponent afterwards? No.

6 - Have you ever have someone pull a weapon during a fistfight? Yes. If anybody's considering getting whapped in the head with a huge socket wrench, I'd advise against it.

7 - If so, what did you do? I got an enormous lump on my head, was a bit dizzy for a second, then I beat the shit out of the girl who hit me with the socket wrench.

8 - Ever been arrested for being in a fistfight? No.

12. Well - if someone ever pulls a weapon on you in a fight
Edited on Wed Jul-12-06 12:19 PM by Taverner
Aim for his throat and hit hard. It might kill him, but then again, if he has a weapon he's trying to kill you.

15. Omg!
:rofl:
1 - Have you ever been in a fistfight?
Technically, no. I've punched people who didn't hit me back, and I've been in numerous "catfights," but nothing I'd term a "fistfight."

2 - Have you ever started a fistfight?
I was frequently the cause of my own catfights.

3 - Have you ever "won" a fistfight?
There is no winner when one is behaving as a Dumbass.

4 - Have you ever bought your fistfight opponent a drink afterwards?
No.

5 - Have you ever been bought a beer by your fistfight opponent afterwards?
No.

6 - Have you ever have someone pull a weapon during a fistfight?
Does a large textbook count?

7 - If so, what did you do?
Got hit with it.

8 - Ever been arrested for being in a fistfight?
No.

9 - Have you ever talked your way out of a fight?
No.

10 - Have you ever deliberately tried to get into a fistfight?
No, but I have punched, kicked, slapped, scratched, and pulled hair, either resulting in people getting mad, saying, "Jesus Christ, Lara!" and walking away from me, or engaging in hair pulling, slapping, and other embarrassingly stupid behavior with me. I have also kicked the shit out of numerous pieces of furniture, appliances, and doors. I still haven't figured out how to get the dent out of the front of my dishwasher, from when "we" had an altercation.:rofl:
