Have You Ever Said Something That Erupted Into An Unintended Verbal Bloodbath?
Last week I was up in Baltimore (Why go South? There's nothing there of importance) and I was at the local punk rock/goth/skinhead/alternative bar. A few beers and McNuggets later, I openly stated that I was happy that the guy from Joy Division killed himself because New Order is a much better band...

The bar erupted into a complete Joy Division vs. New Order verbal assault for at least a drunken hour.

Gheesh, I'm lucky I got out alive.

1. My sister's first mother-in-law was Austrian. Once, I introduced her as German to a friend.
Holy zombie Jesus was that a mistake. Turns out Lydia was a Holocaust denier and really, really nasty person, so I didn't really care, but I was only 15 at the time - what did I know?

6. Actually, it is a "Thunderbirds" or "Tracey Family" marionette.
It was the first Google image I got for "mikeytherat" but, now that you mention it, it does look like Heino.

2. I brought up the Monty Hall problem at a barroom table full of number theorists.
A good problem, because although it isn't a number theory problem (which meant that nobody at the table was able to PWN it) people felt comfortable taking their shots. Of course, the first 45 minutes were spent with everyone yelling.

I was at this Nazi rally and they were shouting and doing their thing, and I looked at this one guy and said "Nice Boots, do you want to go to my place or yours"
The whole rally started throwing steel swastikas at me, I am lucky i got out alive!!

7. You probably would have won him over if you said
Nice boots and braces. They'd look better crumbled up in the corner of my bedroom.

Zing.

5. Go anywhere and yell "Kirk Sucked. Janeway Rules."
Janeway was a Replicant.

9. Seriously
What kind of asshole would ever bring up nothing Joy Division ever did compares to the perfection that is the Substance album?
