Poll question: If you met your 21 year old self today, could you kick your ass?
Edited on Mon Sep-26-05 09:18 PM by JanMichael
Just curious.

I know that I could. 20lbs heavier, in better shape, PLUS meaner and a dirtier fighter:-)

3. I think that I would.
I'd only rough myself up though, no facial shots.

4. My 21 year old self would so kick my ass
That was only 5 years ago, but at that time I was lifting weights 5 days a week.

And then along came graduate school.

13. Yeah, I was a skinny little bastard,
I got a good 80 pounds on him (me?) now.

And, there is no longer any compunction against using the ball kick.

16. Depends upon your interpretation, for example, if I were to swing my
foot and plant it on his(which would be my) posterior, then yes, I could kick my ass.

18. Step away from the meth
Actually, this question made me laugh. Of course I could kick the younger me's ass.

I'm a whole lot meaner now.

Now put that shit away....:smoke:
