Westbound on 35th and Broadway, a group of white guys with dreadlocks spin lopsided urine balloons at police._ �What are you guys protesting?� I ask one of them, a skinny kid in his early twenties whom I slide up alongside.
_____"**** off, narc,� he says, not looking at me.
_____I flash him a peace sign._ �No war for petroleum-based latex products filled with liquid human waste,� I say�then I sucker punch him in his kidneys several times until he folds up like a broken beach chair, the filthy little pissflinger.
_____A vodka gibson, I�m thinking._ Or maybe a dirty martini._ That�s what I�m in the mood for.

"Class"?

The urine-filled condom, or the assh0le who wrote that up?

They're both well ahead.

Zimphire · Aug 30, 2004, 07:36 PM

I agree.

But I think the urine filled balloons tops it.

Most of these folks are just doing this out of boredom it seems.

NARC!

Well, the idiot blogger certainly is.

I don't know if that qualifies as "most of these folks", but I'm sure you have insight I'm not party to that allows you to judge this.

Wait, now I'm an idiot blogger, too? Wow. How to recover from such a stinging indictment.

Yawn.

**** you, Organ boy.

Spheric Harlot · Aug 30, 2004, 07:54 PM

Bored enough even to sift through referral logs, it seems.

Oh, and "could care less" implies that you DO care.

Not that bothering to register and post in this thread didn't clue us in to that anyway.

protein wisdom · Aug 30, 2004, 08:01 PM

Yup. Just killing time between now and the first major convention speaker.

And you're right: saying I don't care is JUST LIKE admitting that I REALLY DO care. Because up is down, black is white, Starsky is Hutch...

Anyway, back to the convention coverage.

Honey, the phrase is "I couldn't care less".

Borrow somebody else's brain if that's too hard to think through.

If he actually punched the condom/piss slinger, then thumbs up !

If somebody threw a piss condom at me, I'd flatten them, and they'd have a few dozen teeth less in their mouths, and I'm not even a violent guy.

Maybe you two should get together.

The quote also mentioned that they weren't throwing them at him.

He was just some uninvolved, bored passer-by who decided to physically assault some kids doing stupid things.

At least, that's what he wrote in his blog.

(If we're gonna have fun with this: that amounts to public admittance of a felony, doesn't it?)

I'm sorry, but there's no way I'm going to feel sorry for some kids who came there to cause trouble to begin with. Protesters infecting people with their tainted bodily fluids deserve to get beat up. That's just the way I see it. Throwing piss on people is some sort of crime no ? So we could say the guy who stopped the one piss thrower was doing a public service.

Maybe they both technically were in the wrong, but white kid dreadhead piss boy is defintely more in the wrong, the way I see it.

Actually, the body fluids bit is a felony.

The puncher actually interrupted the commission of a felony.

People who throw bodily fluids or wastes are committing a felony punishable by up to five years behind bars and a $5,000 fine.

Indeed. And if they're doing it at people, then their protest has crossed the line into violence.

No, seriously. The health issues involved in this sort of thing are enough that they're actually putting people into danger. Mind you, this only reflects on a couple of kids, but it sets a tone I find disturbing. I'm just glad I'm not in New York right now.

I once knocked a guy out because, while we were whizzing in our respective urinals, he decided to send some my way. I promptly reach over, grabbed his head, and threw him into the wall. He hit it and then crumpled to the floor whilst finishing his whizz on himself.

I finished my business, zipped up, and then bowed for a brief round of applause before exiting the men's room.

Upon exiting said men's room, I hauled bootay (aka Fled The Scene).

Lesson: Don't whizz on Maury or he'll slam you into a wall, knock you out, and then run away as fast as he can while trying to look "tough."

Given the circumstances, and if there weren't any cops around to yell at (and point out the "piss slingers"), I would have asked the guy to stop, been told to "f*** off", and then cold-cocked him with the maglight I usually keep in my pocket at such events. At such times, you have to defend and protect those who can't defend themselves. There's no telling what diseases those guys were transmitting with that stupidity.

I mean, who the hell do those guys think they are? Dave Matthews?

Someone shares one of my pet peeves.

protein wisdom · Aug 31, 2004, 01:14 AM

"Borrow somebody else's brain," eh? Ouch. Devastating.

As to the "could/n't" thing, you're absolutely right. But I wouldn't go confusing a mistake made in haste with intellectual inelegance.

You mean apart from the cops they were throwing the condoms at?

Oh, if they were throwing them at cops, I'd definitely be knocking the nasty buggers out.
