That's a couple things you can get in Thailand, yes.

Pineapple sucks.

Tae Kwon Do isn't much of a self-defense art.

Muay Thai is interesting - I've wanted to hit it up as a supplement, but it's hard to find a reputable place without knowing who to ask.

Krav Maga is retarded, don't fucking bother. It's asshole karate without any sense of proper technique. Think about it for a second: it's a bog-standard military combat training system, designed to turn Any Random Israeli into someone capable of hitting someone else with their fists. There's no understanding of the potential of the human body, no attempt to exceed the limits of musculature, all it's really good for is getting aggression up in the reticent.

When I took it for a few months I looked at the undisciplined fratthings around me and realized that they were exactly the demographic I'd be mostly likely to get into a fistfight with: white, twenty-something, moderately athletic, a bit dim, and convinced that they were badasses despite not actually knowing shit.

Krav Maga has an amazing PR firm though.

If your Mai Tai has pineapple in it, you should send that shit back and call the bartender names.

Mai Tai (original Trader Vic’s recipe)
1 ounce light rum
1 ounce gold rum
1/2 ounce orange curaçao
1/2 ounce Orgeat (Almond Syrup)
1 - 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
1 ounce dark rum
Shake all but the dark rum with ice. Strain into old fashioned glass. Top with the dark rum. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.

We used to serve them in hollowed-out pineapples. Fancy.

I envy you, punching a yuppie would bring my blood pressure down, not to mention bring me loads of joy and happiness. Ahh, the sweet feeling of the shit-bag's jaw as my fist collides with it.........!

Might I ask why?

It's a pun and also a reference to one of Sup's favourite fetishes.

Kerble is wrong; there is one "c" in "Superchunk" and two "c"s in "Suckerpunch". "Suckerpunch" can be anagrammed into "chuck-prunes", if that helps. No? Fuck it. I'm just going to walk away from this situation before it gets anymore out of hand.

Great.

So how is this different/worse than punching someone? I'm sure they feel just as righteous as you do, and nobody got punched in their story.

And why is it all of your stories come from a profoundly black and white world, where all the cops are on the take, your wife is hot, and everyone you punch is clearly deserving?

I'm going to guess the guy you punched has a slightly different take on what happened than you do. In his version, some asshole attacked him on the street because he wanted to go first down the street.

You were in a yuppie vehicle as well, does that make this a case of yuppie-on-yuppie violence? Yeah, sure, I read your posts more often than his, so I know you a little bit more than him, but why should I assume he was just a yuppie asshole and you're not? Just because you say so in your attempt to justify punching him? I somehow doubt he would be bragging about how lazy he gets to be at his job - personally that makes me like him better. And hey - he didn't punch anybody. Or door you, or mace you, or do anything to hurt you. Already makes him seem like a better person than you.

The only justification I can see in your story is that "it was clearly your turn to go". Says who? Based on what? You called him an asshole before he showed you the birdy finger - who provoked whom? In the quid pro quo logic you're trying to use to justify your actions, he should have punched you. You're lucky you got a sucker punch in on him when you did, otherwise he might have gotten out of his vehicle and you would have had a fair fight on your hands. I don't know you, but I'm going to guess your odds would have gone way down.

So why did you do it? To "teach him a lesson"? Or was it more about you? Just curious.
