We've been trying to get a group of college friends together for dinner since the summer. Someone suggested using the upcoming USC-Cal game since we're all football fans. So I offered to send out a message and get the ball rolling. The trick in this is everyone's location: one lives on the coast, one lives between Sacramento and Lodi, and one lives in Walnut Creek, while the rest of us live on the Peninsula. Plus, one guy is flying in from LA, and he's the one that wanted to see the people who don't live on this side of the bay. I suggested Berkeley, but neglected to say why. One of the Peninsula guys said he won't do Berkeley because he'll "get into a fight trying to save you all after you start a riot defending USC." ??? So I kiddingly said something to the effect of him being the age at which anger can be managed, limiting this message to him and his wife. In response, this tirade went out to the entire group:
"Regarding [Meathead]...[Meathead] doesn't fight either, he's actually a peacemaker to tell you the truth. He keeps his "anger" on the field...
That is unless, someone we won't mention here decides to call a bouncer a f**** on a street full of bars (each of them with 1 to 2 bouncers) in Chicago, then decides to grab the rose-bucket girl's ass in front of said "f****" bouncer, who then confronts person whose name we won't mention here, whereupon [Meathead], peacemaker that he is, approaches and tries to persuade said "f****" bouncer and person whose name we won't mention here that there doesn't have to be conflict in this situation, whereupon what had to be like 6 guys decided that they had to "take control" of peacemaker [Meathead] by holding him down, trying to gouge his eyes, choking him, hitting his face and bending his fingers backwards (note that peacemaker [Meathead] does nothing of aggression in return). At which point I punch one guy in the face because he's choking [Meathead], whose bouncer friend then hits me which resulted in a 6 inch bruise on my upper arm, at which point [Meathead] (who then finally makes a decision to fight back upon seeing me get hurt) then grabs a hold of asshole girl-puncher's larynx and proceeds to give him a choice of whether asshole girl-puncher would like to live or die. I think that would be the only time Jess would bring his anger off the field, in defense of others.
And that's why I love this man."
We've heard this story a million times. And what really pissed me off was the blatant use of the F word [derogatory word for gay], in addition to her implying that we are as stupid as the guy in the story who started the fight. Does AC really seem like the fight-picking type? The guy from LA is the type who wants everyone to be happy and get along. It's gotten to the point where I don't even want to see this couple anymore. At their Halloween party, Meathead proudly told everyone how he told the wife to never ever put the collar with hearts on his dog again because the dog's not gay. This guy is a huge arrogant homophobe, and although I've known it, it seems to be getting worse lately. Plus, he brags about how much money he makes.
So I sent out a message clarifying [again, because I'd clarified it off line with the wife] why I was leaning toward Berkeley, and offering 3 more places [including one in the City]. Even before today, only two other people were stepping up and offering places [that turned out to not work]. But that's it. I'm done. That's the last message I'm sending out about this.
