Default The "How To" Guid everyone needs

Going back to the thread about how many 6 year olds you could take in a fight. Well, now there is a how-to guide for all your children fighting needs.

http://www.cracked.com/blog/2008/08/...enty-children/


Could a mod please change the title from guid to guide. Thanks.

You should get a "How To" guide on how to spell "Guide"

I recently watched a video of my 4-year-old nephew breaking a board with his foot during tae-kwon-do testing. It really made me re-evaluate my opinion on this matter.

Awesome. I like this one the best:

I could have sworn we had a thread on here some time ago where we discussed how many 5 year olds (can't remember the exact age) we could take at once. For the life of me I've been unable to find it.

Perhaps I was simply inspired by the location, but I found that a Zangief-style spinning lariat worked well when I was assaulted by a dozen gypsy kids in St. Petersberg. That and the 'going for the leader' strategy. Actually, there's a secondary psychological advantage to going for the leader: if you have any reservations about fighting back against some of the more pathetic looking kids, start with the tallest, and you'll quickly lose your inhibitions about delivering a below-the-belt shot to a boy who's belt is parrellel with your knee.

Wow, that sounds like a hell of a story. How did it turn out?

Unfortunately my mobility was very limited as I was just coming from the train station and was wearing a backpack while carrying another bag. Spinning around swinging my arms was pretty much the only thing I could do. But I got some good blows in, bloodied a few noses, bruised some shins.
The only thing they got from me was a case that my prescription glasses were in. They got a half block, realized that the glasses would be more or less worthless to them, and just left them on the sidewalk.

I was relating it to a Russian later, and she explained to me that the Romas would do anything they could to take anything of value from you, but they weren't spiteful; the glasses had no value, so they left them, even though they could have caused me severe inconvenience by keeping them or chucking them into the canal. Especially after everything else that happened to me on the trip (see the stranded-on-the-trans-siberian story somewhere in the forum archives).

Haha! My favourite part of that story is the first response.. Something about finding the wallet and knowing it was yours because it had: # stamped on it..
