So I'm having a few drinks some friends. then a fourth guy shows up. I let him know I've had a few to drink. after a while he says he can out run me, I say "no way". He says he can "out bike me". My friend says to him that I race bikes. I'm standing a this point, because I do race bikes and the friend tells me to sit down... so I do. I sit down and then the foruth guy says he's a "boxer" and can out box me. I stand up again ready to go out side. Not that I know a ton about boxing, but obviously the guy is full of himself. The other guy is still siting down, my friend is saying to calm down, so I get really pissed and walk out and go home.
sorry just venting....

I think you did the right thing by walking out. If you were having a few drinks and were a little buzzed, it would have been easier to puff out your chest, he to puff out his, thus becoming a manly man contest. But by walking out, you came home unscathed and he did too. I'd say you won here. You were the bigger man.

Don't get pissed, race the guy. And if you're so confident, wager a good sum of money.

Oh that would be fun. Seeing two guys race bikes while drunk. :D
any time somebody says that they're better than me at something i just nod & agree. the last time it happened i destroyed my cousin at pool.
"i've never hit 3 shots in a row! today must be my lucky day!"

I think setting him on fire (the guy, not the dog) would be an acceptable substitute.
No no no. I say spray him with flourescent pink icing and set him outside.
No, no - a walk off!

I think you guys should race to see who can grow up first.
I think you two should race. The man who wins gets to buy the other man a beer. (shrugs) I don't know. I'm thinking about it as if I were being called out in a game a pool. I hate when people call me out and say that I can't do something. I then would put money on the table and then they shut up...
So, I guess, my answer is changed to racing each other and putting money on it.

Tell him he has to drink as much as you've had to even the odds. Then race him. Then box him. Then phone an ambulance for him.

I think that you should have ignored him and carried on about your business...even though you went home...he still won because he annoyed you to the point where you had go go home...You shouldnt let morons bother you and you shouldnt be so ready to fight over something so stupid...if he was a good boxer he might have handed you your ass.

So is the point here.......
You race bikes so that means you can whup a boxer.
So ,you stood up getting ready to back this all up & attempting to prove it. Then, your friend ordered you to pop a squat on that attitude of yours & upon that public ordering you have a baby tandrem & run home,that showed 'em :). I bet he wont mess with you again :eek:

What would I do?
I'd pack up and move to a small hicktown in Wyoming, where I would fit right in with the dick swinging, bar fighters.
Maybe you should lay off the booze. Sounds like you are a violent drunk, and it could end up biting you in the ass (or wallet) one of these days.

Here's a thought: since you wre supposed to be having a good time with friends you could have laughed it off and kept having a good time, and taken what seemed to be a joke AS A JOKE. Instead, you acted like an a$$clown. You likely won't be asked out for drinks very much by these friends in the future.
I agree with Air, but instead of a walk off, I would go for some break dance fighting.

JP does a mean Electric Bugaloo and is one of the most insane poppers I have ever seen. The hat actually shoots lazer beams in time to the music and emits fog.
only pic I have, the lazer wash on the wall kind or ruined it.

Oh yeah, we actually haven't seen Pope Ratzinger's mad skillz.
I do like his "Touchdown" pose, though.
Just give him the silent "And what the hell is wrong with YOU?" stare a good 3 - 5 seconds. Awkward silence that screams that you think this guy is the biggest ******bag ****** you've seen all week. Then, just change the subject and start talking. If the guy has any intellect at all, he'll feel like an idiot.
I've seen plenty of people who think they have to prove something, but this guy just sounds like he's just dying to prove something. What a ******.

how do these things happen?
I've never been in situations like that....I guess I (or someone else) somehow diffuses these things before it gets to the "step outside" stage...
you are welcome to talk about that, but try to work it in as part of your break dance attack. As far as I am concerned you can get the Popes hat and burn Pheards wedding tackle off with that. Just stay on topic.

pheard, hambone, siu, what does any of this have to do with walk offs or break dance fighting, or the pope's lazer shooting hat? Focus here people!!!!!

I am afraid, yet somewhat excited. I don't think a fight is supposed to feel like this.
