i have another 2 1/2 weeks off work so i went up to the biker bar i go to on occasion. alot of guys up there know me and we shoot pool and have a few drinks. a small group of them are into shit i don't want to know about and we get along fine with that understanding.
this particular evening though i had to drive my truck there. right before i left for maui, someone had stolen my license plate and i won't be able to get a new one until tomorrow. i'm still very upset over this.
tonight i start getting questions about the presence of my truck and after a few cocktails i'm feeling really cocky and not very smart. i tell them what had happened and mentioned i'm guessing the thieves in question stole it to ease the efforts of transporting stolen motorcycles and mentioned that when i saw my plate on someone else's motorcycle "bleed from ear to toe" as well as anyone they ever cared for.
unfortunately i did mean it and i guess it showed. normally, people that know me know that i am no threat to anyone, but i guess because of my new beard, i think i got myself in a little deep.
as i was leaving a biker i had never met followed me out of the bar and asked to have a private conversation. i had long forgotten about my previous comments and obliged. he said he knew i was in the navy and i have shaggy hair and a beard and it doesn't take a genious to figure out what i do for the navy (here's a laugh: he thinks i'm a navy seal, doesn't realize i had been sucking in my gut all night and have facial hair because i'm on a months vacation). he puts his arm on my shoulder all serious like and looks me straight in the eye and simply tells me to drop it and go away. this guy was at least 40 and 3 times my size. i am drunk and reason has apparently become affected.
i told him simply, "just don't let me see that license plate."
trying my damndest not to visibly shake and completely shit my pants (he did show me his .38 in his inside belt holster) i got in my truck and drove away. i don't think i will ever go back into that bar. i have 86'd myself. and i think tomorrow after i go to the dmv to get a new license plate i'm signing up for friday nights 3 hour concealed weapons permit class. and the worst part is, i think i was undrunk instantly and in virginia i can't buy alcohol after midnight to calm my nerves. i only hope i passed out and dropped a bottle in my couch cushions again.

Shit dude.

On the one hand if they want to think your some Special Warfare badass then why dissuade them of that notion. On the other hand they might thing you more dangerous than you really are and overcompensate, which would be bad.

Be careful.

i let them think that. kind of cool to think someone finds ME intimidating, but at the same time, i think i will avoid that bar forever.

Oh shit. Yeah. Don't go back for a while, and then when only a little under the beam.

At the bar I used to hang out in in Florida I stopped a guy from stabbing someone the first night I was there. "Stabby Craig" became one of my best friends.

When people are moving serious narcotics and stealing bikes for a living by using "Bike Clubs" for cover, they tend to be a little paranoid.

I would go back to this bar immediately.

For some reason I keep going back to bars that I get into fights in.

Was this guy carrying inside of the tavern? In WI, that is a felony.

Play this navy seal thing to the hilt - maybe you can find some bar honeys to do their patriotic duty before you have to go back to "Iraq/Iran/North Korea"

Not good advice. If they figure out your ruse, you'll be shit-stomped for sure.

Or worse, you'll be tied to a couple of cinderblocks sitting on the bottom of Chesapeake Bay.

I remember one time I was out with some friends. It was a guy's birthday.We decided to play wingman for him looking to score. I went over to some ladies on the dance floor and asked them "Would you like to come over and say Hi to my friend Steve? He is leaving for Iraq in 3 days"

Later, my other buddy of course later changes the story and tells them "Steve just got back from Iraq".

He still took two of them home despite our crappy wingman technique.

BTW - he was in the army - just not headed to Iraq yet.

this is why i don't drink gin anymore. that story is complete crap. i don't know where in the hell it came from. i didn't even go to the bar last night. i got plastered in a movie theater watching "be cool" and that was about the last thing i remember. my license plate was stolen a few weeks ago and i would destroy anybody who ever touched my bike in a violating manner, but none of that actually happened. fucking gin, i'm going back to whisky.

At least it was an entertaining story

Just like a squid to tell a sea story.

But that's ok, because if it's not true, it ought to be.
