Oh yes, Marney it's true. I can take a shot with a bat. I can take a punch from a 100 pound girl.

 

I can't take a kick in the junk, but I'd wear a cup if I was fighting a girl.

[Guest Cancer Marney]

Who says I'd just punch you?

And I can and have cracked a cup into three separate pieces.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Yeah, but a kick in the junk is a pretty cheap move, I was hoping you'd be a bit more honorable.

[Guest Cancer Marney]

Some hope. And I'm packin' too.

I don't fight for fun, I don't fight fair, and I don't fight nice. I fight when I have to, and when I have to I fight to win.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Well what the FUCK? I can't take a bullet. I'm a pretty shitty shot, too. My firearms experience is primarily from shooting a shotgun at a stationary target. I'm not bad with a bow, though.

[Guest Cancer Marney]

I used to have a really nice 80 lb with neat little pulleys and stuff, but I haven't strung it in years. I'd probably suck now, so you can laugh it up on that range, Robin Hood.

But with my modified .357 DEXIX, I can consistently hit head or upper torso on a man-sized target at up to 50 yards without much difficulty. Time to draw and fire: 2.3 seconds (mean deviation .2 seconds). I was given my USMC Pistol Expert badge 3 months ago.

I can plunk a deer about 60-70 yards away, fairly drunk, without any trouble if I'm in my stand. I've only shot a handgun one or two times in my life, and it was someone else's .38 a couple years ago. I'm a somewhat decent shot with a shotgun.

 

However, I'm Billy the Fuckin' kid with my BB gun. My brother always had welts growing up, and I haven't slowed down a bit.

[Guest Cancer Marney]

In your stand? Wussy...

[Guest J*ingus]

Wow, for maybe the first time ever, I'm 100% perfectly agreed with every single thing that Marney said in a debate. I too feel a pretty great rage towards any "loving God" who would create this world.

 

And just wondering, how did the Marines (a macho bunch if I've ever seen one) react to being instructed in HTH combat by a skinny little girlie girl?

[Guest Cancer Marney]

False and unfair stereotype. Of course there are macho idiots in any group, but the vast majority of the USMC are serious, professional soldiers. They took orders when they were told to even if they had doubts. And since I'm an excellent instructor, after the first ten minutes of the first lesson they were not only willing but eager to learn.

 

I'd had previous experience as well. A friend of mine and I helped to train a US Embassy security detail during the Gulf War.

[Guest J*ingus]

Well, maybe it was too small a sample. I've known three Marines, and all three of them were arrogant assholes with serious God complexes in regards to their view of their branch of the military.

[Guest Cancer Marney]

Yep, sounds like three unpleasant coincidences. But, to be fair, a God complex - if present - is more than understandable. Our armed forces are the best in the world, and the Marines consistently distinguish themselves even among them.

A skinny little girlie girl instructor for the Armed Forces? Holy crap, I'd run. Fast. As for ANY insinuation that girls fight badly, especially some of the smaller girls, watch out. Girls have no desire to look good while fighting, don't (usually) feel like they need to hold back (ESPECIALLY if they're fighting a guy), and forget unspoken rules that guys use like "No kicks to the groin." If you get a woman mad enough to take a swing at you, just run. I've seen girls in fights who have raked eyes, ripped out body piercings of all kinds, and at one point a little 60 pound girl made sure one 180 pound fella would never have children. Cringe.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Shit, some girl (or anyone) swings on me, she better be able to take a headbutt.

Well as far as the "unspoken rule" goes... if someone is really gonna kick my ass and I'm not going to walk afterwards I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to go for the field goal.

[Guest Cancer Marney]

The testosterone in this thread is making me feel ill.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

What? You can't handle the heady aroma of MANLINESS?

[Guest Cancer Marney]

No. It makes me nauseous.
