Ed, please take no offense, but your Ned Flanders styled avatar makes you look like a bit of a wimp.
You need a tougher image. Maybe you should 'Nelson'-ify yourself? Or maybe try 'Kearney'-ising?

Yeah but I AM a little bit of a wimp so it's fitting. I'm not trying to intimidate anybody here, I doubt if muggers are going to say; "oooh, we can't attack him, he has a tough avatar on the magic Café!"
Magicsanta, the problem was there was no set up to the confrontation. The first moment I knew I was in trouble was when someone grabbed me from behind and dragged me up the driveway. By the time I'd managed to drag the guy down (ripping his shirt in the process) I was already a little loopy from having been punched in the face twice!

Couldn't identify them, first thing that went was the glasses! Other than that, it sounds like fun!

Ah, well I'm an old-fashioned kind of guy, I like to take my revenge on the person who actually wronged me. Otherwise, we end up like "W." ("We've been attacked, prepare to invade Iraq!" "Um, sir? Iraq didn't attack us." "Your point?")

We didn't attack Iraq because of 9/11. Maybe they were trying to beat some sense into you.

I live next to one of the roughest communities in all of America, South Central L.A. Its right across the train tracks.
I have never been robbed, never been in an altercation, am part of the ONLY white family on the block, never any trouble. I walk back from the bar at 2am on my own. The last place we lived was worse. It was on the outskirts of Inglewood. We got burgalized twice, 2 guns and a whole heap of electronics gone. For me it all comes down to Karma... Everything. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time equates to me as being the right place at the right time. Sorry to hear about everyones unhappy experiences, but take it from me, keep your wits about you in the Ghetto. I am from a small town in the Heart of England. What an experience it has been living here... Oh and it helps to have a protector or two. I have a few, Dorje Shugden and Vajrapani. Bring it on...
For as long as space exists,
And living beings remain in cyclic existence, For that long, may I too remain, to dispel the sufferings of the world. -Shantideva Engaging in the Conduct of a Bodhisattva |

Well. Those of you who suggested I get out of the neighborhood, it's happening.
Not because of the mugging, I wasn't going to be run out by a couple of punks. Oh no, earlier this week a lawyer for the realtor came to the door. Seems the landlady has defaulted on her mortgage and the property is being foreclosed! We have until the end of September to get out! Fortunatly, we found something fairly quickly. Unfortunately, we're going to have to move again! (As Spider Robinson once observed, on the "personal disaster scale" three moves equals one fire) AND we're going to have to go into some considerable debt to manage the move and the first month/security deposit. But, what'cha gonna do, huh?
