The Mayor's Linkie Love

I was coming out of Sobeys the other day, I had two 12 packs of Coke in one arm and four or five bags in the other. I saw my car in the parking lot and started to walk towards it. I noticed that in my direct walking line were two punks, about 20-22 years old, and I could just tell that they weren't going to move around me, they had drawn their line in the sand. No problem. I didn't look at them, I kind of looked down and kept walking. 25 feet to go, 20 feet to go, all the time I kept appraised of where they were, 15 feet, 10 feet...at five feet I looked up, right at the guy who was going to bump me. I not so much looked up at him, but I looked right through him, he knew I wasn't going to move, and he must have figured that I wasn't going to be a happy camper if he bumped me.

At about 3 foot to go, buddy swings away from me as fast as I've ever seen a white boy move. He spins around and kind of falls into his friend. I kept walking to my car, but I heard the people behind me giggle.

Something was learned that day, not by me, but by the young man who lacked the intestinal fortitude to challenge someone from the warrior class. He learned that, although he meant to be tough and show his other geek buddy that he was *The Man*, a survival instinct kicked in, and it's better to look like a turd to your buddy than to eat a face full of fist by an angry, bald 40 year old who takes no prisoners.

In a game of poker, what he did would be described as a bluff. He had two 7's while I had a straight flush to the ace. He took it right to the end but found that no matter what he did, no matter how he played, he was destined to be the loser as God intended. He was smart, he ended up living.

Todays linkie love is dedicated to that little punk loser who, if he had tried to be the tough guy would have been beaten like a red-headed step-child. Linkie love is dedicated to living, it is dedicated to life.

Is Barbie pregnant? Holy crap, River Rat, you have some 'splainin' to do! (it's safe to say that this isn't safe for work)

Steve Austin, move over. There is a new bionic man in town...but somehow he doesn't instill much fear in me.

A man who spent 18 years in jail for a rape he didn't commit has been charged with murder. When is this guy going to have a good day?

Has there ever been a war between two democracies? The answer is yes. I just saved you a read.

Patrick has a good post called, The Good, Bad, and Ugly (Dogs) Patrick is dead-on right with his selection.

We are in a war for the survival of our future. Do you want to know what happens if the Islamofascists win? Scary stuff.

I found a huge selection of excellent billboard signs, and now I feel as if my life is complete. To be honest, there wasn't much left to complete my life.

I've posted something like this before, but this is the new and updated version of Israeli girl soldiers. I Israeli want to bang them.

They have crowned Miss Hooters 2007. And believe it or not, she has a face.

If you haven't seen "200 horses rescued in the Netherlands", then you are in for a real treat. It's sad, then happy, you'll love it.

That's it, I'm running late. Keep sending me your links or posts, I'll put them on and promise not to disparage them...although I can't promise that Reg won't.
