Some time ago, someone told me that I should take my husband to a cock fight. I laughed in their face, knowing my husband, and didn't really think much on the statement til last night. While I didn't take him to a cock fight, I ended up inviting him to attend one and ultimately take part.

I want you to envision a peacock strut. I'd also like you to take note of how many times the word 'cock' has been used, as you'll soon find it's fitting. Picture if you will the movie fight club. Now imagine someone seeing that movie and NOT getting the fact that it's all a metaphor for inner conflict and the fights we have with ourselves constantly within the fragile framework of our minds. Multiply that by multiple shots and multiple beers and quite possibly some other nefarious substances, and you STILL can't picture what was going on.

Now, I'd left the bar to go take care of some girl business which took about an hour and a half. When I left the bar there were 2 normal guys sitting at the bar, smoking cigarettes and drinking beers. I called Dave and told him he should meet the boys at the bar, and the ladies would be back shortly. Now, I wasn't there for the hour that my husband had been alone with the boys. I can't exactly claim to know what was going on at all. I do trust my husband so I'm going to have go with his version of events before I arrived.

I'm going to give you a rundown. These are a set of direct quotes before I arrived actually.
"Are you a scrapper?"
"I don't mean this in any sort of adversarial sense, but I really want to punch you in the face."
"Don't you feel like something is missing in your life?"

And then, the ladies walked in. Now, the first thing my husband said when I walked int the bar was, "apparently I'm supposed to kick his ass." And he pointed my ex-boyfriend. Then there was this way out of left-field dance involving both my ex and my friend's husband constantly trying to engage Dave in a fight. They continued to size him up. My ex continued to say, "Man he's a big guy" and "what a side of beef". They claimed it was all in fun. They claimed it was a way to welcome him into the "family" as it were. I'm not sure though.

"I wanna shank your husband in the liver" is a bit much for some show of brotherhood, no?
