Thanks a lot, Worm! I am just checking out this forum, come across your post, and Burst out laughing! Way too loud. Anyone paying attention will have no difficulty knowing I am not working at this point. (I almost fell out of my chair!)

Bill never did indicate what kind of Bar it was... That plan may have unintended consequenses. You might make a friend...

Allie blushed when I read the last one to her! thanks for the compliment (and I totally agree). Its just your average Irish public house tho worm, so I keep my fingers dry and to themselves, at least till I'm home!

I gotta say that you would have to be especially careful with any kind of stun gun or pepper spray in a public house. Many states have special legislation regarding what you can or can't have/do while imbibing so be certain to check local ordinances before engaging in any shocking behavior.

just a joke, friend. I have a FL CWP and know the laws very well, but aside of that I would never involve a weapon where a good thump on the noggin would suffice.

The lack of respect of others & their personal property, or the inability to face being held accountable for their own actions, speak volumes about our people and our culture.

Trust me, I feel your pain. I've had people try to ride Herbie at stores while I'm shopping. The Alarm Mode on the i2 does seem to help prevent people from doing much with the machine when activated.

Probably the best plan of attack in that situation, is to just take his picture. Then go back to the pub later and post his image all over the bar with the appropriate caption of your choice, and the amount he owes you in repair costs. Make sure it's okay with the owner first, of course.

Then, you can use either mace or the stun gun on him (or both?) should he confront you about warning others he's an a-hole. Or, if he has a soul, might offer to pay you what it cost for repairs? Who knows, stranger things have happened...

By the time I got up and to him he had ripped my button off and "pilled" the rubber around the grips and now the handlebar is permanently loose but not quite wobbley. Tried to grab him and get him away from it and he ran around a table and started spouting that he just figured they were for "public use" then he bolted before I could get his info for repair costs.
Grrrrr.

I'd just call "Tony" and say you know who dissed his wife. Do it today and it may make the series start .
