That depends on a lot of factors. But if happened in a flat barren land and the gunman was far away from me, I'd probably give him whatever he asked for.

Today I came across this thing-

Whoa.

I've been held up at gunpoint three times. The first time I was 16 and working at a 24 hour gas station. I thought "it isn't my money", gave it to the dude and that was that.

The other two times were when I was living in Phoenix. One happened as a female friend and I were walking home from the store with beer. Two kids - probably around 17-18 - approached us making small talk but I knew something was up. Like clockwork, one pulled a gun and told me to give him his wallet. Before he even finished his sentence, I wailed him with a 32oz bottle of High Life across the cheek. His friend ran away. The bottle was unopened and didn't break so I hit him a few more times in the head until he ran off. When we got back to my place, the bottle, my shirt and hand were covered in blood. Blunt force trauma is messy.

The other time, a tweaker approached me as I was leaving a taco place at around 2am asking if I had any change. I gave him a few coins I had in my pocket and he said "No man, that won't do" and suddenly had a gun in his hand. I could tell he wasn't going to do anything so I got in my car and drove away.

Guns are stupid.

+1

if they were just trying to rob me, give them whatever. material posessions < life

if dude was trying to end me, id attempt a scrod style highlife wailing

Didn't you get shot that one time, too?

Yes, by a punk-ass kid in NC trying to be a thug.

I agree but sometimes there's an opportunity to let it come right down to principles. "**** me? No, **** you."

At 15 I was nearly mugged at gun point. It happened while I was sitting in one of those bus stop booths, the muggers walked up and basically cornered me. Luckily, before they could take my things a police car rolled up into the parking lot behind the bus stop and the two guys scurried off.

Hold the guy back up at gun point.

I can just see this. Two guys in a mexican standoff in the middle of a city.

I'd say its its a Clint Eastwood worthy film. The Old, The Bad, and the Ugly City.

I've mostly been drawn on by cops. Honestly scarier than some kid with a saturday night special.

Today I panino'd. I live a boring life compared to some of you.

Today I feel like everything I have touched lately, despite my best intentions, has turned to ****. Can't wait for this weekend. I need to drink all the booze and have my face rocked off by a bunch of awesome bands.

Ditto.
Cept I'll be rocked by different awesome bands. I'll be at Hideout's Block Party rather than Riot Fest.
Although, I may actually take it mostly easy on the booze. Going through some pretty rough stuff at home and I'm finding that less drugs/drinks is actually helping me deal.
Oh also, if you find yourself at the Revolution Brewery (Kedzie location) for their Oktoberfest on 9/22 I'll be volunteering there.

Scrod, I'm beginning to think people hate you haha. Between your neighbor calling you *****exual slurs and people shooting you... :p

I shot a kid once. In the hand. With a bb gun. I was trying to shoot his candy that he left on top of a fence post and he reached to grab it at the last second. He lived.

Today, I did this: http://app.strava.com/rides/21843217. Nice 47 miles. I was going to go for a full century, but a friend I haven't seen in a while wants to get lunch so I cut it short. Maybe I'll head out again after lunch.

the day's not over

i've done a few accidental centuries like that..

chrisss gettin them street creds.

friend lost her bike today.

they took the time to get through her Krypto chain for her econo-Diamondback that was parked right outside a hospital and left her helmet.

?!?

don't even make sense. put the word out with the local bike collective and my former snitch network. hopefully it'll turn up. she's a nursing student and can't afford a replacement right now.

That sucks.

Today I went out for a ride and said "****!" out loud when I realized halfway through that I forgot to turn on Strava. Made some fit adjustments; flipped stem down and dropped it 10mm. Surprisingly it felt a lot better and I was so pumped that I busted a hella dope skid down this curvy hill. Saw some derp on the way home:

Can you spot the derp?

I walked instead of biked today. It felt strange. I also realized my pedals are cutting into my Reef flip-flops too much, so I need to find tougher sandals. Yes, I bike in sandals. Bite me.

it's not so much biking in sandals, it's the specific combo of flip flops + fixed that gets you.

Yeah, I only freewheel in sandals. I wear SPD's for fixed riding.

Today I:
 

SPF sandals do exist if you care to try
