Lucky: Yeah, boiling down an impression into a couple of words can leave a lot of room for misunderstanding. I was just trying to say that a lot of things like the stories you've shared about your life and your family and friends gives the impression of a real hard-ass tough guy, but I think every one thinks you're a real nice guy underneath all of that. Tough to boil all that into four words.
Huh. I guess I can understand it. I know other OO guys who have said stuff like that before. I guess it just seems odd to think I'm giving off any real "bad ass" vibe. But I can understand why it comes from stories and such. I guess I just figure that in the real world the bouts of cops and bouncers and brawls and whatever are just the anecdotes to an otherwise very "unbadass" demeanor.
I was working crew on an indy film with a lot of people from my college in senior year and I was roped into some of the acting classes. There was some weird game where you had to stand still and quiet while someone was in your face berating you. The director decided to grab 9 of the big/intimidating crew guys to play with the 9 main cast members and we were told to do anything we wanted to try and break them short of physical contact. Truthfully, I don't even remember anything particular I said to my guy but apparently I succesfully managed to freak out a few ladies who knew me who were watching and who said I had slipped into a pretty nasty character. So that instance of "bad ass" was apparently strange enough to shock them.
Huh...
I'll play this, I'm just too lazy to make sure I remember everyone.
Or don't do either. If you can't find an image you like at either than don't force it. Just give me something you like and which will look good on the board.
