| FIGHT ON |
the guy in the park25 years ago I used to play chess a lot. lots. as much as I could. When I was working near Hollywood I used to stop at Plummer Park. Near the tennis courts at the north end of the park there was an area that had huge carport type roofs. They were like solid concrete or something hard. Beneath them were rows and rows of picnic tables. Maybe 30 or more tables. By the time I got there after work they were filled with old men. Most playing cards or dominoes. At least one table people would play chess. I would play a few games and go home. The noise of these old men was such a strange sound. Nobody spoke English. Like Russians, Armenians, whatever. Everybody screaming and yelling. Echoing off the concrete slabs and the underside of the carport ceilings. It was defining. Try to think let alone play a game of chess in that atmosphere.
So anyway every time I went there I would always see this guy in the park. He never sat down, never played any of the games, always was walking, in and out and around the tables, like in a pattern. Same pattern every time I saw him. He always had very clean clothes on. But was unshaven and looked dirty. He was always there when I arrived. He would stop every once in a while and stand next to a few chosen old men who would give him some food or money.  Never put out his hand or anything, I guess it was just known to do this with him. Like some of the old men had a routine with him. Never spoke. But every time I went he was wearing different clothes. I made a note of it.
Oh I forgot to tell you. Every time I saw him he always had a stain on the back of his pants. The first time I saw it I thought nothing of it but after the 4th and 5th time I began to wonder. Perfectly clean and ironed clothes except this stain. So I decided to find out why. I decided to go on a Saturday so I could come earlier to see if I could get there before he did. I got there at 12 but he was already there, with the stain, walking through his table maze. Same routine. I was getting pissed off. so I came back the next week but way earlier at 9, HE WAS THERE! The next week I got there at 7 and bingo he wasn't there. Hardly anyone was there. But after a while they came. Filling up the tables. The noise and ciaos increased. But the guy wasn't there. Finally around 8 I saw him coming. All clean clothes. I was dying to see. So as he passed me I looked and NO STAIN!!!!!!! I WATCHED THIS GUY LIKE A HAWK. Around and around he went. Walking and walking. in a trance. Finally after about a half an hour he just stopped. And stood there. Nobody around him. He looked down. And then he blew my mind. He bent down and put his palms on the concrete and squatted like a frog. His face like 6 inches above the slab and started to grunt and hyperventilate. The dude hurled on the ground Stood up, turned around and sat in his barf!!!! I left.

| JMunaretto |
I thoroughly believe that all these stories Fight On gives about other people are really him, but he wants to trick us. | ||||
| JMunaretto |
For example, I have concluded that this really is Fight On:

| FIGHT ON |
It's not Fight On. It's FIGHT ON. AND YOU ARE WRONG J! It's not me. Some dude I saw at the end of the Gabrielino Trail. Look at that dude! I got some questions for Simonov on if that thing on his back qualifies for a Noob Pack. If he showed up for one of his camping trips would he tell him to go away? I'm serious what if he just walked up by himself and said "Hi, I wanna go camping with you guys" dressed up just like that! Come on Simonov, What would you do?
|
||||
| simonov |
That's not a Noob Pack, it's an Old School Pack, the pack of choice for manly men who are immune to the transient whims of fashion. A pack like mine, in fact: 
|
||||
| TacoDelRio |
That pack is gangsta.
A n00b pack would be one of those weak bastard child rolly backpacks. |
||||
| FIGHT ON |
so are we then saying that the boob man is not a total boob? |
||||
| JMunaretto |
no, you're not | ||||
| FIGHT ON |
I hope you run into that guy on a trail some day J. NOW THAT WOULD BE SO FUNNY!
It's not me dude. I don't have a monocular. or a red hankie. AROUND HIS NECK. BAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAAHAAAAAAAAAAAA

Pretty funny!
But this is what I really wrote! "It's not Fight On. It's FIGHT ON. AND YOU ARE WRONG J! It's not me. Some dude I saw at the end of the Gabrielino Trail. Look at that dude! I got some questions for Simonov on if that thing on his back qualifies for a Noob Pack. If he showed up for one of his camping trips would he tell him to go away? Laughing I'm serious what if he just walked up by himself and said "Hi, I wanna go camping with you guys" Laughing dressed up just like that! Come on Simonov, What would you do?" Now, the real question is, who is guy with the boobies in this pic with your wife?!!!!! http://picasaweb.google.com/jim.b...ly2008/photo#s5228918378516121714
Then (I can't stop laughing) Then look at the two side by side!

Who knows, This might end up on the news like the Duct Tape Bandit denial! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUB-90bCm6U |
