I'm one year away from that myself.
As far as your question goes, the closest I came to that feat was back in high school. I was in a mosh pit during a GNR concert and got absolutely blown up by this guy that was a couple inches shorter, but about 100 lbs heavier, than me. 6'2" and 170 lbs can go from upright to horizontal in a hurry when it meets the proper opposing force.
To my credit, I didn't cry, but only because my tears were too afraid to come out.

I'm not exactly sure where the emotion came from being that, not a minute before the initial tear, the neighbors and I were discussing which guy in the neighborhood could best wear a romphim.
I really hope I don't end up with ads for romphims after having to look that up.
Had to GTS. Is this for real? Do you have to have a manbun to wear one?
GTS is acronym my friends use for Google That $#!+.
I would probably recommend a good ad-blocker for a while. Evidently, there are images of lacy ones on men but nobody seems to know if those are real or a joke. The less lacy ones are a real thing... disturbingly.
So...you guys are letting go of your little girls. They're becoming independent...they don't need daddy anymore.
At what point does a son stop needing mommy?
Just got off the phone with my son. He is changing jobs. He "hasn't seen his social security card in years". He needs a birth certificate to get a replacement card.
him: Do you by any chance have a copy of my social security card in your files somewhere?
me: I don't think soooo?
him: Okay, what about my birth certificate?
me: you mean the one I had to get from the county recorder in Washington and sent to you so that you could get your security clearance 15 years ago? The one that replaced the original that I gave you when you got married and set up housekeeping with someone instead of various crash-pads? THAT birth certificate? You need to get a lock box.
him: Ma, I have a lock box.
me: well, then, you need to put your important papers IN the lock box!!!
I may still have a copy of his certificate at home (maybe not certified, maybe just a photo-copy of the certified one I sent him 15+ years ago. You see, I KNOW my son. He has a genius level IQ, but has the attention span of a gnat unless the topic interests him.
Maybe I should also mention that this son turns 38 next month.
Oy!
BTW...I'm not going to look super hard for the copy. Instead, I gave him the basic info - what county he was born in, and to contact the county recorder's office there to request a duplicate of his BC. I did that once...he can do it this time.

Looking through the amount of requests I would venture a guess that not a whole lot was accomplished while I was gone.
Sister could be the last ever valedictorian in school history. Superintendent/district administrator wants to get rid of that and class rank to make the lazy kids feel more accomplished.
Hey @jcyclonee i like how in your last day of school pictures it's a bunch of the little ones, then there's ONE of the teen, and it's her in the car driving away. Youths...
Rode a short quick 4 miles to a family event tonight. Nearly didn't get to for the second night in a row due to working late. Easy but felt great.
Fell asleep on the floor of LittleWx's room again. Who knew it was so comfortable.
Ran garbage disposal tonight and it made a hell of a racket. Did the tiny flashlight inspection thing and found a BB. Got out the little telescoping magnet thingy and got it out.
Gee, I wonder how that Squirrel Bob ammo got in the sink?
I had locked up the BB gun but not the BB's which were on another counter.
The school administrator might want to get rid of class rankings but that probably won't fly too far. LOTS of scholarship money given away by class ranking, plus the smart kids know who's smart anyway. The niece who graduated this yr was in a smart class 5 of them finished with 4.0, last yrs class only had 1 and a couple of 3.9 somethings.
