    In the movies, when someone hears a noise, they go to clear with the fireplace poker or the kitchen chef's knife. Does someone offer a class on responding to psycho killers and monsters with such improvised weapons. Sometimes the golf club.

    I do recall an episode of I Love Lucy, where Lucy and Ricky were going to buy a home in the country and somehow at night, wandering into the wrong house to check it out. The homeowners in PJ's came down the stairs (man and wife) with pump, sporting guns! Luckily, the Ricardos survived.

    Young dude dressed as his old mother who tries to slice you up in the shower. Can you defend yourself with soap on a rope? Don't make me remember my college French, that was a bad experience.

    Brother, those aren't low-down dirty tricks, those are a way of life. That's normal shit right there.

    Yes, and unlike many dirty tricks, it works.

    I have only ever done it one way: essentially an ab crunch, while standing. To the best of my recollection, every instance was when I was working the door at this one bar that would reliably erupt into violence. I was pretty young, I'm not saying this was a good idea or anything. That's just what happened.

    I have seen it done several ways. One guy did a slight crouch and speared the other guy like the old school football move, but in the face. It was pretty brutal.

    The craziest one I ever saw was a guy in a verbal confrontation that looked like it was about to go hands-on who said "fuck this" and turned as if to walk away, then took a really fast half-step backwards and snapped his head back into the guy who he had correctly guessed (I think) was reaching forward to grab him from behind. He cut his head pretty badly, I'm not sure exactly how, but the guy he hit was levelled. He turned back around and started laying his boots into the guy on the ground and that's when we pulled him off.

    I would never have expected a spinning reverse headbutt to work, but then I did once drop a guy in the ring with a spinning backfist and I honestly didn't think it would have much effect either. I was just going for style but man, apparently a lot of momentum when those connect.

    I don't have a bunch of ring fights to my name or anything, I only fought a few times so don't infer too much from my commentary. I was never all that good, either.
    This is a thread where I built a boat I designed and which I very occasionally update with accounts of using it, which is really fun as long as I'm not driving over logs and blowing up the outboard.
