I have not commented on this thread and on this subject and as a result have awarded myself this here dancing broccoli.

aw, come on, SF, since when are you shy about controversy? Is it me? Dude, most of my friends think I'm full O' Crap, not to mention crazy. (I am.) I'll bet you have something really interesting to say. Besides, we already disagree about Aaron Brooks, remember? Jump in, man!

I've been called out...er somthing. LOL

Ok, ok. I'll chime in, but I have to admit I have avoided this topic because it appears to me to be a whole lot of hot air. I read the articles. I watched the video, and here's my take <drum roll>:

But wait. Let me qualify myself. I've been a patron at, and I have also worked for, a number of bars and honky tonks that friends of mine would not go to because of their 'reputation'. "Hey man, people get CUT in there". You get the idea. I had a fantastic time too I should add.

So at 40 (okay, okay, at 41), here's what I know that I didn't know at 20 or at least didn't really care: Bars are dangerous places. Strip Clubs can be even worse. Of course I'm not talking about your local watering hole necessarily, but trouble can be found there too.

What do you get when you mix alcohol and young men full of testosterone (or old men in a crisis) and women dressed 'to impress'? You get trouble - that's what you get. Everybody's is bigger than everybody else's, right? Vince Young got in a bar fight. Well...heh...now THERE'S some front page news. I used to keep a stick (the butt end of a pool stick) in the booth with me to beat 'em off the light console. They fight over anything and everything.

Don't look at my girlfriend.
Don't talk about my mama.
Don't tell me a Chevy is better than a Ford.
Don't say anything negative about "Freebird".
Hey, you gotta CALL that bank on the eight.

Any of this silliness, and lots of things MUCH sillier, and it's on like Donky Kong. Or, as what appears to have been the case with VY, somebody was mocking somebody's College. That, too, will get you whacked in the head.

So, my opinion <another drum roll>: There is nothing to see here. This is boys being boys (notice I didn't say "Men", because real men don't do this crap), and VY needs to grow up. Maybe he'll live long enough to realize that...and maybe he won't. Most of my friends grew up and grew out of it. Some didn't. Some are still strutting around the honky tonks, chest stuck out, beer in hand, and looking for someone to cross them sideways...at 40. Okay, okay, 41. Some are dead as a direct result of their failure to grow on up.

You're not shutting down the bars, so you better get a stomach for this kind of stuff. VY is no different than any of us, and most of us have been there and done that and ripped off the t-shirt in an effort to impress somebody. It happens all over the world, and if people were on the moon it would happen there too.

We should stop the and do a little more of the and then we'd have some and then, at the end of the night, instead of being beat up and in need of medical attention or bail money, all we'd be is .

That's my .02.

Oh, and Zooey doesn't like brawls in bars.

C'mon Man...

This is a complete bull**** myth. Potheads will fly into a rage too, sometimes at a completely ridiculous time. BUT--- this is funny as hell, so, I'm glad you posted it! Art it is.
ok... you nailed me to the wall on that one. I knew this guy that walked around with his sleeves rolled up, a big fuzzy mullet, cholo-man mustache & drug-cartel dangling earring, thinking women wanted him, and being 6 feet tall and bullet-proof. Not to mention an embarrassing intolerance for alcohol. He looked exactly like me in my 20's. damn look-alikes.
Its funny all the things we thought about women that we're completely opposite of true. They really dont like macho displays.

really great post SF, Im glad I called you out.

Pauly, you make a lot of sense too.

anybody else? lets hear you.

skymike

btw, dont I get any dancing broccoli for using the terms "butt plugs" and "Mississippi" in the same sentence?

saintfan

But only because their azzholes by nature, not because they're stoned. There is such a thing as liquid courage, but there's no such thing as smoke courage...or whatever...but this would be an entirely different thread. LOL

papz

Dancing broccoli revoked.

saintfan

Son-of-a-. I KNEW it.

skymike
