I wouldnt worry about the homophobic football jock; he just goes to football games and calls men whom he finds attractive "f4gg0ts" in front his friends to provide cover for checking you out in your bike shorts and to hide his secret activity of regularly sucking guys off from craigslist -- when he says anything to the affect of "I want to kick your ass" he actually means "I want to lick your butthole." I would take it as a compliment. he's a miserable bastard and ashamed of his true self...and you're not.

have you found any information in the local media about the wreck?

and if you see your junkie friend, tell him one word: suboxone.
