"I'm your huckleberry" sounds like a come-on tbh.

Clearly a reference I'm missing.

Fat pillock will give himself a heart attack getting so wound up 😆

Is he threatening 'Don't mess with a surfer' ? Not traditionally the most terrifying demographic, Point Break notwithstanding.

Angry surfer dude looks like he'd be hard to sink.

Back off Warchild. Seriously.

Urban dictionary says;

I'm your huckleberry
19th century slang which was popularized more recently by the movie Tombstone. Means "I'm the man you're looking for". Nowdays it's usually used as a response to a threat or challenge, as in the movie.
"Who thinks they can beat me?"
"I'm your huckleberry."

Sounds even more like a come-on

I am slightly sad that nobody has thumped me since I read, possibly on here, and memorised for future use, the line 'You punch like a vegetarian'.

Sunny Garcia is a surfer I wouldn't want to get into an altercation with, that bloke is not Sunny Garcia*

*Garcia is a colossal jerk

That inspired me to watch Ronnie again and I literally 😆 with tears

This dude is good value but tbh what made Ronnie Pickering the star he is was his dancing partner.

"who?"
"ronnie pickering"
"who?"
"ronnie pickering"
"who?"
"RONNIE PICKERING!"
"Who the ****'s that?"
"Me!"
"Woahhhh... Brilliant!"

Yep. Things are always funnier when they're explained too 😉

Made my evening. Def been watching too many Clint films. He'll be Defense Sec in the Trump gov.....

I thought Trump was going to be Defence Sec in the Trump government.

"I went to the NBPD and spoke with officer XXXX in the lobby.

He did not want to take a report. I told him what happened before the video and then showed him the video.

Afterward he said the video did not show any crime. He said it looked like two guys arguing.

I asked about the “dead man walking” words and he said there was no crime...Before leaving,

the cop told me that I shouldn’t get into arguments with people like that (as if it was my fault) because you don’t know if they are crazy or unpredictable. He did not take a report."

'Merica!

That clown is pretty good but nothing on Ronnie.

Ronnie and cli(n)t wannabe would be a fight I'd pay to go see. The pre fight weigh in would undoubtedly be absolute gold!

Serious question (though I doubt I'll get a serious answer 🙂 ) but is there something about cyclists, the way they dress, or the way they act that leads people to be aggressive toward them?

That being the states, what's to say the cyclist wasn't packing a gun (you know, for packs of stray dogs) or trained to fight ?

Of course you're gonna get assholes everywhere but overwhelmingly, the cyclists seem to be passive and other parties are the aggressors and very much so.

Yes, they think they own the roads.

Didn't you watch the video ?

Some cyclists are nobs but the reality is there are some quite angry and ill informed folk out there behind the wheel who dont GAS about cyclists and hate us simply because we exist and we "steal" the road from them. He is one of them

in much the same way that rape victims are asking for it by dressing like that

I did wonder why Mr Your Worse Enemy kept calling him a queer and a faggot, and then I remembered that he was probably wearing skimpy Lycra shorts.

They inconvenience motorists, sometimes for up to several seconds at a time.

The likelihood of a gun is state-dependent.

Trained to fight, well, some skinny runt on a road bike isn't going to cause much of an immediately apparent threat to some bloke who thinks he's Rambo. The chances of squaring up to Bruce Lee's Ghost is probably fairly slim, and the sort of bloke who trots out phases like "my name is your worst enemy" as a matter of course is likely to be quite used to intimidating smaller people in order to get their own way.

TL;DR - it's bully mentality. I'm a big lad, therefore I'm indestructible, therefore I can act the prick with impunity.

Every time I've had a bad reaction that didn't seem entirely random, it's been because I've done one of two totally unacceptable things

1) Use a safe amount of the road
2) Passed someone who's stuck in traffic

"Sharrow" road markings, short for shit arrow

I thought the old fat surf dude was gonna cry half way through his death threat speech .

Oh I know, I've been the source of much inconvenience.

Florida, and California are pretty tight on concealed carry iirc now that you mention it.

Yeah, reason I ask though is because I've had pensioners act the same way to me. Old gimmers I'd guess were in their 70s step out into my path and try to shove me off my bike. All manner of silly shit that over the years has led me to wonder what emboldens pretty ill advised people to suddenly become self appointed vigilantes.

Maybe I'm looking at it backwards. Perhaps it's the cyclists mentality ie always trying to watch our space, protect ourselves and for the most part be in the right, legally speaking that means we automatically adopt a passive/victim role in confrontations which people pick up on. Just thinking and drinking.

Oh, that's different. It's because they're grumpy arsetrumpets who have long since run out of shits to give about anything.

I parked up the other day on a random cul-de-sac to make a phone call. I was outside a bungalow with enough space in front of it to park four cars and there wasn't a single other car parked on the road as far as I could see. By the time I'd closed the door (I got out to stretch my legs) the old woman who lived there was out, "are you going to be long?" "No, just a couple of minutes," I replied. "Oh ok, only, I'm expecting visitors." FFS.

Modern life is perfeclty designed to stress people to breaking point, all they need is some fool dressed in funny clothes and a plastic hat being vaguely annoying and boom, I'm your huckleberry.

I didn't actually get that reference so I've just Googled it.

?h?k(?)lb(?)ri
