I have a black eye.

I got into a fight last night with this big fat bastard who was trying to break into my home. He got a shot in but I ended up kicking his ass and he ran away. I got the black eye after I slipped on the ice and slammed my temple into the corner of the car door. I must not have been the first home he broke into, as he left a big bag of stuff behind, presumably stolen from his other break ins. It was dark and I don't have a description, but I found traces of red cloth and white hair strands under my fingernails. Keep an eye out for this asshole.

Update:
I just heard from the Oneonta Police Department. that this EXACT kind of break in was reported many times last night and I was not the first. In fact many N.R.A members reported taking a few shots at this lunatic. I heard 1 person who said that "If I had a 30 round magazine I would have cut that sucker in half. But since I only had a 5 round mag all I ended up doing was shooting a few holes thru the walls of my kids bedrooms." Sad isn't it?

From UPI:
"According to recent reports from the O.P.D. "This is not a 'LONE' perpetrator, but the work of a TEAM", consisting of one man and one woman. The woman, apparently being a prostitute, as the main 'Person of Interest' in these break ins, was heard, multiple times, calling out for the help of his 'Ho' according to unconfirmed reports."

People just seem to go nuts during the Holiday Season. This incident has convinced me to join the NRA and buy a weapon to protect my home from unwanted intruders. And I hope the NRA pamphlet explains the difference between -an intruder- and -an unwanted intruder- because I would hate to draw down on the WRONG intruder. I could probably find the definition under a subtext if I looked up the difference between rape, and REAL rape, but I digest...invest...divest...uhmmm....wait..... digress...yeah that's it...DIGRESS.

Merry Christmas Everybody.

P.S. It sucks that I had to turn this bag of goods he left here over to the O.P.D. As I looked thru it before they arrived and I would have LOVED to own ALL the crap in the bag. It's almost like I ASKED for this stuff. How strange is that?

many are now reporting that he was yelling ho, ho, ho - so there were apparently three prostitutes involved.

after I read the responses. I admit it, this humor was way over my head. I guess the giveaway was 'strips of red cloth and strands of white hair.' I was going to write stay from the NRA, they are poisoned kool-aid and they make their members drink, sooner or later. And then I read responses, and duh, it's a joke. Best cheer of the season to you.

is pretty risky. You're lucky you only got a black eye. But all's well that ends well, and you protected your home and family, so well done.

get enough hits to ensure a burglar is dead or incapacitated, you don't deserve to own a gun. That is way too much risk of collateral damage. Maybe try an edged weapon? Or booby traps? Or a dog? Or a really really good security system?

I went there once for a doll convention. Unfortunately the business that hosted the convention went bankrupt.
It is a nice, attreactive town and the college there looked really nice too.
It was very hot in the summer though.

Merry Christmas and I doubt Santa will be making a return trip to your house. Better keep the stuff.

I hope he learns his lesson. If not, I hope he gets taken out next time he tries something like this. It'll be one less undesirable on the streets.

After you kicked his ass, did you say "Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal"?

I live very close to the Webster, NY arson/gun ambush on VOLUNTEER firefighters (just moved out here from a tiny rural community an hour south).....so when you mentioned Oneonta, all my abilities to catch satire went out the window.

Didn't even get it about Ho's and red cloth and white hair and bag of stolen goods. I just thought, "lucky for you, you're a guy and you're strong enough to overcome an intruder...what hope does a small middle aged chick with a tiny puppy have..."

sigh.....

You should've indicated that in your post. Or better yet, posted it in the Lounge.
