Scottish Bar Fighters

[keepoffgrass]

I was out and about yesterday wearing my kilt. I stopped in the post office to ask about a package Im expecting when a guy walks in and comments on my kilt. First he asked if I was in a band, I said no its just a Scottish thing. Then he got all excited and decided to tell me a story.

"Scotsmen are the best bar fighters ever! Me and my brother we out drinking one night in a crouded bar. There was a group of football players (american football), five of them, in there being loud and giving a hard time to a Scottish guy sitting at the bar. Finally after a while the Scotsman had enough and told one of the football players "ok... you get one punch, make it count" the men got up, the football play swang and hit the Scotsman in the head and dropped him. The Scotsman gets up shakes his head and laughs and says, "is that all?" and beat the crap out of all five football players, in the matter of about two minutes. It was the most incredible thing I had ever seen!"

Thats a recap of the story as best as I can tell it on here. I thought at first he was going to give me crap about the kilt but I think he wanted someone to go drinking with. haha

while I don't like fighting much, that story goes to further prove..."Don't <insert favorite expletive here> with a man in a kilt!"

it also reminds me of a thread here where one of us heard a few kids whispering about the xmarker's kilt..went something like this..

boy 1: (whispered)"that guy is wearing a skirt"
boy 2: "don't say that! Those guys will kill you for saying that..and he has an axe!" (the xmarker in quesiton had an axe as a walking stick..don't remember who it was, though)

Its not for nothing that a headbutt is called a "Glasgow Kiss."

Great story! I've heard similar stories.

I'm quite certain the early Scots immigrants had encounters and possibly a fight or two with bars in the wilderness.

I'm really no fan of fighting. But on the few occasions it's been unavoidable... my noggin was a VERY effective though unexpected weapon! You just don't see enough head-butting in fights....

That's just it, isn't it? No one should want to fight. But you should be able to win if you do get into one.
