I am just pissed off at nothing, lately. I either need to pound someone who deserves it, or get pounded by someone who doesn't deserve it. Maybe I will start hanging out in seedy bars for a while. This is *my* hormones trumping my logic, and not for something nice like a baby either.
Does anyone else ever feel like that? Anyone else here just enjoy a good bout of fisticuffs?
Posted by Deirdre (Member # 4200) on :
No.
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
Yes.
Not a physical fight, but I have occasionally gone looking for a fight before.
I'd say either some serious physical activity like running, or, um, no, physical activity is the only socially-acceptable solution I can think of right now.

To Dierdre:
Too bad. You are definitely in my 'deserving' column.

How about some mindless shooter like QuakeIIIII? Go get the chainsaw and slash some people up.
Posted by Sho'nuff (Member # 3214) on :
sometimes. but it's more of a general "i need to punch something" feeling than a "i need to punch someone feeling.
I had an idea for a business once. It'd be a place you can go to, and pay a fee, and you're givin like a baseball bat or something, and they put you in this room and just let you go off and break things. It'd be a great stress reliever.
I even wrote out the logistics of it all. Price and services offered. For higher prices you can take special requests. the client sends you a picture of a certain room, maybe an ex girlfriends living room or something, you re-create the room and let them have their way with it. for an extremely high price of course.

Come on, Slash. You're a middle aged guy with an office job who wears pull-over sweaters and uses way too many smilies. Who you trying to kid, anyway?
Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
Yup, I get that feeling.
Usually when I do, I go bowling. Something about chucking a 13 pound ball and some poor helpless pins makes me feel like I'm killing something. Makes me feel all manly and stuff...
Posted by Sho'nuff (Member # 3214) on :
use a lighter ball. you can chuck it much harder and make yourself feel better.
like picking on a 10 year old. Posted by Slash the Berzerker (Member # 556) on :
Dierdre:
I don't own a single pullover sweater, but the rest is true. See? I'd be easy. You should beat the crap out of me.
Posted by Synesthesia (Member # 4774) on :
I felt like that last week. Everything, especially old arguments was making me mad and i just wanted to bite someone.
Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :
Slashy, about once a month I'm terribly obnoxious and ornery. My husband hates it because he knows no matter what he says, I'll pick apart almost every statement he makes.
Personally, I don't believe it's my hormones however. I just think that once a month, I can no longer tolerate his idiocy. Posted by Deirdre (Member # 4200) on :
Nah. I like a challege.
(You sure about the pullover sweaters? I could have sworn you wore pullover sweaters. Hmmm...maybe they were just cartigins with really small buttons.)

If you'd like to make the trip to Boise, Ty, I'm due for an ass-whooping.
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
You have a punching bag in the basement and boxing gloves.
edit: Deirdre - that's Dan.

I know what Dan wears, Tone. I'm the one who's always borrowing his clothes, remember?
I could have sworn it was Ty.
Posted by Slash the Berzerker (Member # 556) on :
My bag doesn't hit back.
Frisco? Man, that would be sweet. If I could justify going to Boise, I would totally take you up on that. Can't work your way over to Portland somehow?
Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :
When I feel like that, I just go punch somebody...
Or go to sparring class...
Posted by Slash the Berzerker (Member # 556) on :
Dierdre:
Nope, no pullovers, and no cardigans. In fact, no sweaters at all. Lots of sweatshirts though.
Posted by Deirdre (Member # 4200) on :
Ah, that must be it. My mistake.
Posted by Duragon C. Mikado (Member # 2815) on :
Slash, I know most video games don't really quell that need for hurting something or exerting force all at once, but there is ONE that can.
Mortal Combat 3 for SNES or PS2. The graphics are textured enough and the combos fluid enough to sate that urge to reap the feel of flesh compressing from your actions.
Posted by Sweet William (Member # 5212) on :
A close friend of mine runs the place. He's a real jerk. I'd pay you to fly down here and pound him.
Edit to say "down here" I am still thinking "Smackdown in Dallas."

Duragon, you're not far away.
Want to get together?
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
For Frisco.

Sweet William:
Yeah, those are some big boys, no doubt. I imagine that could be a painful lesson in humility.
Posted by Duragon C. Mikado (Member # 2815) on :
Hrm depends, I work full time. Butttt, my summer college ends in a week and fall semester @ PCC doesn't start up until around Sept. 8th. If you have a time in mind, go ahead and put it on the table. It'd be nice to get out of the Puyallup valley anyway.
[edit] I hope you don't mean just to fight. I'm not a pacifist but I doubt you or I deserve a beat down.

By then, I will be over it. You are probably safe. But don't tease me. You teased me once before, and I'm still not over it. Gimme a date, so I know you really love me.
Posted by zgator (Member # 3833) on :
Maybe you should become a vigilante, Slash.
Posted by Slash the Berzerker (Member # 556) on :
And I *DO* deserve a beatdown. I really do. But I will only take volunteers. I won't draft anyone against their will.
Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :
It doesn't usually go so well for me when I get that urge. I typically end up pinned to the sidewalk with a few extra bruises and sometimes a neck injury.
Posted by Sweet William (Member # 5212) on :
Yeah, like "Mr. I Can Fight Off Vietnamese Gang Members in a Parking Lot" is going to get volunteers.
DAH REEM on.

I think I am available the last weekend of August. If you make the trip, I will even buy the first round for having been so mean to you when you first showed up.

Slash, have you tried drinking iced tea or ice water in large quantities? I'm tellin' ya....
Posted by Duragon C. Mikado (Member # 2815) on :
Alright, let me check my work schedule tomorrow for days, but you have to promise to wear a torn white tank top with oil stains that lets your belly hang out and take me to Waddles and call me Billy-Bob.

Ummm...
You may be misinformed on how far *South* Portland actually is.

I'm over due for an ass whippin'. But you have to come down here to give it to me.

I was down there. You Bowles boys pussed out on me.
Posted by m. bowles (Member # 3743) on :
I mean much further down..... Like south of San Antonio.
Posted by Duragon C. Mikado (Member # 2815) on :
Dude, I almost went in that place before. I SAW the invisible intelligence reducer coating the entrance, sapping what was left of ambition and inquisitive nature from the blobs going in there. You're saying it's just a fluke of Portland?
Posted by Slash the Berzerker (Member # 556) on :
I can honestly say I have never been in there, nor do I know anyone who has.
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
What's "Waddles"?
Posted by Duragon C. Mikado (Member # 2815) on :
Oh Ralphie, I don't even live anywhere near Seattle, nor would I claim that crowded nest as my home territory. And as to Puyallup vs. Portland its no contest - your microbreweries alone slaughter for great justice.
Posted by Slash the Berzerker (Member # 556) on :
I think it's that restaurant just before you cross the I-5 bridge into Vancouver. The one with the big duck on it?
Technically, that's not Portland, it's Jantzen Beach.
Duragon is clearly someone who has only seen Portland from the I-5.
Posted by Duragon C. Mikado (Member # 2815) on :
Jantzen Beach is a town seperate from Portland?
I have been in Portland, I do like how the city is constructed in an orderly fashion, with lots of space and neo style archetecture.
Posted by Slash the Berzerker (Member # 556) on :
Yeah, Portland is surrounded by lots of little townships. I'm pretty sure Jantzen Beach is not part of the City of Portland. But I think it's very funny that Waddles is your memory of the area. Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
Duragon - I realized you were slamming "Waddles" in particular and used it as a mild catalyst to slam Portland. Considering that, I decided my post was a bit more antagonistic than it should have been so I removed it in favor of "What's Waddles" which is actually a semi-legitimate question.
However, considering that you did slam PDX even a little, if you know what's good for you, foo'... Posted by Sweet William (Member # 5212) on :
Somebody clue me in here. I have been to both Portland and Seattle each once. And I really liked them both. A lot.
Which one of them has that restaurant downtown with the concave glass-like ceiling, and if you sit in a certain place you can hear the conversations at tables clear across the restaurant?
That was very, very cool, and somewhat espionage-y. Posted by Amka (Member # 690) on :
I always liked the sparring in martial arts. Sign up for a class. I think you've taken them before, so advanced is definately preferable. Then you can legitimately beat up on the other students.
Oh, and it is likely that we are coming up there in September. I'll volunteer... Vovka

You are coming to Portland in September? Let me know before you come.

I need to get in a fight, too, Slash.

So did I, Narnia, but if we laugh every time she utters something funny, her head--
*calculates distance to Portland* *gulps*
--uh, well . . .
*runs*
Posted by Slash the Berzerker (Member # 556) on :
Actually, Narnia, I thought it was great too.
Frisco would be a great opponent. He looks fit enough for it not to be a slaughter, and I like him enough that I would shake his hand after I helped him back up.

Anybody remember that guy on ebay who was auctioning off an ass-whupping?

If you recall, I lost that fight, but only because they ganged up on me.

Posted by Zotto! (Member # 4689) on :
I'm a wussy little geekboy, but yeah, I get to feeling like that every once in awhile. Actually, playing loud electric guitar takes out a lot of *my* aggression.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to an amp right now.

That just sounded so funny. If I were a guy, I would pay money so that people would refer to me as "Bonduca's boyfriend."
*snort*
Sorry. Just struck me funny.
Posted by littlemissattitude (Member # 4514) on :
When I get in that sort of mood, I tend to pick arguments with people. I'll debate anything with anyone, and I will not let go of it. I don't yell and scream or anything, I just want to debate everything. My friends understand and just let me go on until I wind down from it. Everyone else just thinks I have an attitude from hell.
This tends to happen about once a month. Go figure. I mostly try to stay away from Hatrack when this happens. Fortunately, it never lasts very long.
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
When I'm in that sort of mood, I either practice my karate or play guitar. Mostly the latter.
However, Slash, should you wish to beat up a lowly white belt I'd be up for it. I need the conditioning.
