Coincidentally, a few days ago I was attacked by a group of guys with fist gloves. Fortunately, I was able to fight them off with my kick board. I have deleted all personal information from my profile.
I am truly amazed that this is the first documented incident of such a thing.
On a more personal note, I am glad that you survived the fistglove attack.
Imagine the horror if they were weilding sharpened noodles in addition to the fist gloves.
Dare I say, this thread would not exist would that have been the case.
I can visualize maddened forum members having to take a number at some future Nationals before they can indulge in 'GeekRage'...
Fortunately the one who would be first in line is afraid to become a member so I don't expect a thorough drubbing.
These comments are a hoot!
But on a more serious note, armed with only my first name and the fact that I am a swimmer, within only a few hours, a newcomer to my town could find out where I live and work, where my wife works, where my children go to school, and the list goes on. It's great to live in a small town, isn't it?
The song reminded me of something that happened recently. We had dropped my youngest son off at college and my wife,daughter and I were driving back through Seattle. After we passed a Hooters Billboard my daughter commented that it was the third one she had seen on the trip. At this point my wife said" I guess Hooters are big in Seattle" My daughter and I nearly died laughing while my wife puzzled at what was so funny. When she realized what she said she gave us "the look" and we had to calm down.
