Wow, did I ever get a freebee last night........
I'm not usually a fight picker, or a drunken asshole. But, we were at the pub and I was a few deep when this happened. My buddy Ben was talking to some guy about this Qu Ran burning. And Ben was taking the point that it appeared the collective common sense of the country had prevailed and the guy didn't burn the thing. He also said, moslem fundies can go to hell. (Bear in mind, he was a reporter in Afghanistan for six months, so he's seen his share of what religious nutjobs can do.)

The guy started going on about how he was a moslem and blah blah. Ben was saying, "Yeah, and doesn't it piss you off what gets done in the name of Islam?" ANd the guy kept wanting to "Take it outside." Ben is too relaxed for that, but I was getting pissed at this assbag threatening my friend. So, I said, "How about this, if you keep threatening my good friend, Ben, I'm gonna break your fucking jaw in two."

Now, as I said this I was thinking, "Dude what the fuck are you doing? You're gonna get your ass kicked."

But, somehow, it worked and he fucked off. It's amazing what being drunk enough to be dumb and confident can get ya.

It could have EASILY went the other way.

"drunk and stupid is no way to go through life"

I am glad it didn't turn out worse for you, and the other guy too.
I am glad you all let it go.
