Hey Garlic, there are wimps and there are realists. Not all of us can be Conan the Barbarian. Although, I'd kinda like to be The Hulk sometimes. "Don't piss me off, man..., you won't like me when I'm angry!" :D

In actuality, I'm a lot more like Radar O'reilly than Conan or The Hulk. Look alike, act alike, but my glasses are different....
 
There may be an identity crisis here, behind the keyboard, there may be wimps that try to portray themselves as monsters. Then, there may be monsters that portray themselves as wimps. Nothing is EVER as it seems.

The ones that scare me are the ones that stand off to the side and say nothing.....they're the ones that will hurt you the worst. :)

I had a big loud golden retriever purebreed and a big for his breed yellow labrador retriever, they would bark their heads off, deep throaty barks, and would go nuts when strangers came over, but automatically would turn into lap dogs when anyone came inside the back yard. They would roll over and offer up their bellies to be rubbed, to anyone who came near them. On the other hand, we had a scrawny junk yard dog siberian husky mix, that would yelp sometimes, his version of barking, and would usually sit quietly as the other dogs went nuts, he was somewhat of a loner until the end. As soon as a stranger made a move into the back yard, that old husky would be on the fence, trying to take a chunk out of the person. After he got to know them, he would like them, but much growling and biting would take place first. Whenever I see a dog roaming free, making a lot of noise and basically trying to get you to see how tough they are, I know my options. Quiet dogs bother me, you have no idea what they'll do.

As for chimps, you have the ones who will throw excrement at you, and those who won't...
 
Bill Bixby died Nov. 21, 1993 from prostate cancer, age 51 if my ciphering is right. Good actor. What a shame.

I was thinking along the lines of harrymole in that chimps have evolved a way to assure the death of an opponent without a fight to the death. Even if the opponent survives, it cannot gather food and eat, or climb (no fingers). Can't run well, or at all, no foot, or feet. Cannot reproduce, no equipment, and can't see or see well--one or both eyes gone. Plus the attacking chimp would have no fear of retribution (if they engage in such).

Chimps have been refining these skills for, what, thousands of years, and as such, I don't think I would stand a chance against even one of them who was determined to do me harm.

Hmmm. Anybody sell a mini flamethrower? From what I've gathered, Baboons are nasty customers too.

Enough from this armchair ninja....

What have I learned from this thread?

Being at the highest level of tactical alertness at all times, with knives drawn and at the ready is making me nervous, and very tired.

As Ultrastick said, Bill's been dead for a while now. But I didn't think it had been that long. Saw a pic of Louie on the cover of, I think, MMI or Ironman back in '95, I believe. He looked better than ever at that time. If ya could have transported him back in time, he would probably have been able to beat Arnie. Or at least worry him a lot. :eek:
 
Could this be the offending chimp. Maybe the guy was a Republican.

I have read some threads that say it would be impossible to injure a monkey even with a bowie knife. Come on now, you can probably split apart a good half of the head with only one direct hit from top to buttom by using one of Busses long blades or equal. Of course you got to hit it right and there is a chance you would miss it, because the monkey,ok the ape is pretty fast. But it's possible. And I don't think it will be still fighting you with two parts of brain split apart.
