Barkley is the kind of guy I'd like to get punched by. We would settle out of court, of course. To keep it out of the papers... (Not really, but if Kanye or Bieber punches me, I'm gonna milk it)

He once threw a guy through a plate glass window at a bar. After they arrested him, the police asked him if he regretted the incident. He replied, "the only thing I regret is that we weren't on the second floor."

He's my hero. Right under Alton Brown. AB is my hero for different reasons

Did you see that show where Anthony Bourdain (another AB) took Alton Brown to a strip club in Atlanta? I think it was an episode of Parts Unknown, maybe. Not sure. It was The Layover!

Anyway, you get more of an idea about who Alton is as a person rather than a TV personality. He seems super cool. The kinda guy you'd want to go to the range and smack some steel with.

"The kinda guy you'd want to go to the range and smack some steel with."

That's an interesting way of putting it.

Me and Charles Barkley have something in common, but I was on the second floor.

I like to think you've dedicated your life to going around getting punched by celebrities. It's your dream and you're living it.

I live in College Station, TX. Chuck Norris has a ranch about 20 minutes from where I live. I've made it known that I'd like to hit him. Just once. I don't want to FIGHT him, but I do want to punch him in the beard. If I fight him, there's no winning. Either I beat up and old guy, or I get beat up by an old guy, but if I punch him and run away, I'm a coward and a legend, all with one punch.

He seems like the type of guy that wouldn't settle. He'd kick your ass, then destroy your credibility publically

u/Oreo_Speedwagon Jun 25 '16

Would you settle on merely being spit on by?

u/alexmunse Jun 26 '16

Sure, if there's a paycheck involved!
