At the speech tournament Saturday, I used Royce Gracie as an example in one of my impromptu speeches. Afterwords, I’m discussing the example with two people from my team when, completely uninvited, a fat fellow competitor in a grey suit turns around and contributes to our conversation.
”Do you actually watch that stuff, like Ultimate Fighting?”
“Yeah, I love it. Actually, I’m going to have my first fight at the end of March.”
His face contorts with the indignant reaction of Mr. Moneybags being informed that there will be no caviare served at today’s luncheon.
“No offense,” he says, “But that is so stupid. God, that’s so low brow.”
And he turns his back to speak with someone else. He doesn’t explain himself, doesn’t even leave our vicinity; he just explodes in a supernova of douche, then pretends it didn’t even happen.
I’ll never understand how people can be so rediculously stupid and arrogant. I mean, who does this? If someone was discussing how great the latest Danielle Steel novel is, I wouldn’t barge in and tell them how they are morons, then immediately escape the conversation. What ever happened to tact and respect? I can only assume that this behavior is the result of years upon years of a carefully cultivated superiority complex mixed with an absolute fear of anything that requires testicles.
Go fuck yourself, Grey Suit Guy.

What a pigfucker!
“It may be, and perhaps should be, difficult to accept the notion that a prizefighter’s work merits the same kind of attention we lavish on an artist’s, but once we begin attending to and describing what he does in the ring, it becomes increasingly difficult to refuse the expenditure. The fighter creates a style in a world of risk and opportunity. His disciplined body assumes the essential postures of the mind: aggressive and defensive, elusively graceful with its shifts of direction, or struggling with all its stylistic resources against a resistant but, until the very end, alterable reality. A great fighter redefines the possible.”

That’s a great quote!

Grey Suit Guy is a pretentious asshole. “No offense, except that I mean exactly that: to offend you.” Have the satisfaction of knowing you have the power to knock his fat ass out.
