I would guess 95% of things thrown at me onstage have been tossed by people I know. I wonder if that says something about what my friends think of me?

People like that punchy guy (and apparently the bulk of that audience for that matter, who *laugh* about it?) should go fucking smash each other's heads with metal pipes until they've all killed each other. I hope that guy has to give all his money to Shore for the rest of his stupid, miserable redneck life.

And no, I've never been assaulted on stage. Maybe someday.
