This is about the best advice out there. I got glassed in a barfight in Sydney once and the cat who did it knew what he was doing—snuck up behind me, shouted, glassed, kicked me a few times, and ran out the door. Fucking English backpackers. Anyway, the key is almost always surprise and making sure you finish the job to the point that you know you can escape without giving the guy a chance to get a shot at you. //edit: Just reread the article, and if you're facing two people DON'T fucking get into a corner. Move around so that one of them is blocking the other as much as possible and they can't both get to you. And stay the fuck off the ground.

I hope glassed doesn't mean you had a pintglass broken over your head/face. If so, glad you're ok, hope you didn't need surgery or anything. This stuff is no joke -- friend of a friend got killed in a barfight in southie once.. guy was one of those typical "its friday night, lets go pick a fight" guys, picked a fight with the wrong maniac. Knifer went to jail afterwards but that didn't really matter to the guy who was dead.

  Yup, it was a pint. I have a wicked scar over my left eye as a memento. I had to get stitches but I'm an Aussie citizen so I didn't have to pay for the ER. That said, try hailing a cab at 9:00am in Sydney with a busted hand (I caught up with him later, it's a long story) facial stitches, and a shirt covered in blood. But yeah, fighting is an incredibly bad idea. Sorry to hear about your mate, that sucks. //edit: This is a photo of me just after I got home that morning: http://droppingbombsonyourmom.com/photos/banged-up.jpg http://droppingbombsonyourmom.com/photos/banged-up.jpg
