I'd hammer in the morning :smash:
I'd hammer in the evening :smash:
All over this land :patriot:

Hah! Pretty good! :mrgreen: :lol:


But..I doubt the younger folks here would recognize the lyrics.

I like the version by Peter, Paul and Mary (Uh-Oh...I'm really giving away my age now). :oops:

I am of the same opinion. I won't be 58 for 3-1/2 months, but the rest fits pretty well. I am just too old and beat up to do any "knuckle dusting".

My dad always said that there is no such thing as a fair fight. If it takes a hunk of two by four or a baseball bat or a hunk of steel rod, use what it takes to win.

:fire :fire

Legally speaking, can be mighty dangerous ground to tread on.

Just make sure you can reasonably show the disparity of force then. It can be a fine line.
Well in my case, disparity of force is going to be easy to prove. I was going to add that you'd have to be an old granny to attack me and not have me claim disparity of force, but then, I've seen some grannies that scare the bejabbers outta me.
:mrgreen:

I'm 6'-5"....260 lbs. and still in decent shape, but Nuns still scare me (went to Catholic schools). ;-)

I don't think I'd shoot one though.

Seriously, the "shoot before attacked" thing (when opponent is unarmed) can be pretty dicey. You're a smart man...so if the time ever comes for you (God Forbid), I am sure you'll make the right call.
