When you're 140 lbs, everybody is bigger than you. That's just how it goes for us skinny folks.

You're too jaded Bob.


It's not any one of the elements that I find to be implausible, it's the combination of the whole.

It's voss. If not Voss personally, then a disciple in spirit.

But it's in writing, it's GOT to be true! Especially on the internet! :confused:

Ok, so he added a ton of self-promotion... Like you said he's a 15 yo typing on the internet.  I say you're jaded because you're comparing (what my gut says is most likely anyway) a kid's first adrenaline rush and the huge ego boost that follows to some full blown maniac like Voss.

See Moot, for me it's a very basic equation...

Would you rather be cynical, or gullible?

Personally, I'd rather be a cynic, and draw the line of plausibility somewhere outside of the story as presented above. That way, I risk not believing a narrow band of stories of questionable plausibility that wind up, against the odds, being true.

15 year old + 2 larger assailants + heroic victory over such assailants + young girlfriend waiting at home, WITH parents = Voss

Next week he'll be defusing a bomb at school

The week after he'll be admitted early to the Airforce

The week after that he'll be flying a mission to the Middle East to rescue his dad, with Lou Gosset Jr. as his wingman.

Cynic or gullible?  Neither.. that's like a choice between the dark side of the moon, and the dark side of the moon.
You're making a bigger deal out of this than it is, you're jumping the gun.  I don't see how the anecdote has to lead to the ones you're expecting, nor how telling it with as much hyperbole as he has is anything abnormal considering the source.
Write me off as agnostic.. until better evidence is available. In the mean time it's just a lot of speculation.

Moot, I'm also 85% kidding...

I don't care enough either way, and am bored enough that another energized Voss sighting/speculation in the O Club might just add an iota of happiness to this day.

I do think that it's ironic that  guy who calls himself Serenity is walking around with a concealed deadly weapon in his pocket.

I think one of those two assailants was Iceman, and maybe Brian from Iraq....I just hope he doesn't get a serious case of PTSD.

Over my head Bob, you sounded dead serious. The rabbid neighbour setup was a lot funnier :)

The story seems plausible to me. The situation described happens every day of the week somewhere. Walter Mitties always add a little something too implausible which gives them away. Having said that the internet is full of good story tellers.

Having been in a similar situation at a similar age. My best defence was my ability to run fast. Unless surprised, it's still the best defence. The second best defence is to read the situation early and move off. Streetwise.

Two against one is usually no contest. Although I did fight off two kids who attacked me in the mistaken belief I had hit their friend. Very noble of them. I almost admired them in a way as I planted one with a swift kick and threw the other to the ground when he jumped on my back. In the exciting internet version. I finished them off with a few swift kicks and sent them on their way after forcing them to apologise for their mistake. In the real world I used the opportunity to run like hell until I made it to my back garden from which I lobbed rocks at them.

Pulling a knife only escalates things because it is very likely that they will have knives too or worse take it off you and turn the tables.  As for the gun suggestion. When fifteen year olds start carrying concealed guns. Then I will be very worried indeed:eek:

If it's true well done. If it's not, then good story.

Did he call his next door neighbor who just happens to be a detective for the local police?

This story, if it's true is certainly embelished, just like his stories of the "uber Spit 16", which by the way, we're still waiting for those films.
