JFC.
I actually got in to a quasi-fight at the bar last night. The whole thing was totally random and surreal.
The wife and I went out to dinner and then to a bar that is less than half a mile from our house. We like going there every now and then because we can walk home if we can't drive. My friend Chris met us there for drinks and darts.
About 11PM the place started getting packed. The 3 of us were sitting at a high table when this woman asked if we were using the 4th chair. We told her she could sit with us and the dude she was with stood next to the table.
Now this couple was probably about 45 and little over-dressed for the place. The guy was wearing a suit and tie which was strange for a Saturday night at this place.
Anyway nothing seemed out of the ordinary but I could tell the guy was pretty drunk. He was also Scottish. So I'll call him Willie. We were all actually having a good time. My wife and the Scottish dude's girlfriend were talking and joking. Me and Chris were talking to the dude or at least trying to.
He was one of those drunks that couldn't focus on anything for longer than 5 seconds. Chris asked him "How long have you lived in the U.S.?" The Willie's reply was something like "I came here in 19...Damn, it's going to take a long time to get a drink with this crowd." He also kept asking for random high-fives and fist-bumps. But overall he was being friendly enough despite not making much sense.
The next thing I know Willie's moved around to the side of the table next to Chris and he's standing over him like he's trying to intimidate Chris. Chris hadn't said a word to the guy and just laughed it off. Then Willie moves over between my wife and his chick. I don't recall exactly was he said to his girl but it was something pretty perverted like "show everyone how you don't have a gag reflex". His chick told him to go back to his side of the table.
But he stayed there and then asked my wife for a high-five. My wife was getting tired of his antics and said "No. Just go back over there. Then he actually tried to grab my wife's arm and make her high-five him
That's when I stood up and said "Whoa, time for you to back up...seriously." So now he moves over to get in my face. I stood my ground and told him "Get the F away, dude." So then he steps up to get right up to me so I grabbed the lapels of his suit jacket and started to push him back.
Then the crazy SOB head-butts me. Or at least he tried to. I kind of saw it coming and I pulled my head back. His forehead just popped my upper lip. It wasn't to strong of a blow but it did give me a slight fat lip. So now I'm ready to beat the everloving crap out of this guy. But by this time everyone around us saw what had happened. Some guy that we had been playing darts with moved in to pull me off. He had ahold of my right arm so I went to punch Willie with my left. I had no leverage and was still being pulled back so it didn't land very hard. Just a quick pop to the nose.
After that there were probably 10 guys that jumped in to pull us apart. Fortunately everyone nearby saw that this dude had started it and he was 86ed.
Now here's the kicker. Willie's chick stayed in the bar...at out table. She starts telling my wife that he gets like that. One minute he's the life of the party and the next he's starting fights. She also said "he's a soccer player so all he knows how to do is head-butt".

Bizarre.
I was pretty hammered but I do remember yelling at the guy as he was being pulled out "You cheap-shotting MFer! I'll end you!"
