Yeah, I know what you mean. I saw someone swat a fly once, so I picked
up a 2
x
4, whacked him a few times in the head, and asked how *he* liked it. It
takes
all kinds.

Holy flashback, Batman! True story I forgot all about until just now: When
I was
about 6 years old, my older brother pushed my cat off the top bunk, so I
pushed
him off to see if *he* liked it. My parents were ****ed - go figure.

which story puts me in mind of the time when, at age 8, my cousin bobby
and i took his little brother, darrius, who the participants in the first
clave will certainly remember, to the barn at the back of their property.
the loft was probably eight feet high. we were engaged in a really serious
argument about whether or not it was possible for a cape, such as that worn
by superman, to support the human body in flight. darrius became our
experimental model. we tied a towel around his neck (he was four at the
time) and threw him out of the barn loft. he didn't fly, but he didn't die.
so, i have always figured that one out of two ain't bad.

wayno (yeah, forty, i know, the name "darrius" is not an accurate
rendition of the name of the persian king, darius, from whom the name
originated. but, ****, after all, we are just a bunch of carolina trailer
trash... )
