This is scary. I warned Jody about taunting and making inflammatory posts. A friend in Yosemite reported Jody was hit, at El Cap Bridge, by an unidentified photographer whom Jody had taunted about winning a photo contest. So much for Mr Tough Guy.

Apparently he isn't hurt. I was able to reach his daughter by phone. She said Jody was out on a shopping spree spending the winning fee as well as royalties for a couple of photos that will appear in September Rock and Ice.

Does the transition to successful outdoor photographer make law enforcement officers forget how to duck?

Read the transcript on Fox News -

"I got the prize and you didn't, I won the money and you didn't, neener, neener ,neener WHAM!"

End of transcript.

hmmm...somehow the words "taunted" and "sucker punch" don't seem to belong in the same sentence/thought.

Hope all is well, Jodester.

But did Jody get a picture of it with exceptional composition?

Try getting you assed kicked into darkness. Happened to me. I learned combat handgun skills in that same year. Not planning to let it happen again. At the same time, I'm not planning to kill a fellow over a single punch.

Blah, blah, blah. Anyone one of us, regardless of how "bad" we are, can be hit by a sucker punch. Not file charges and go on. Life as a man.

Yeah, SL2--I mean, why can't females understand that when a man goes out, his footwear reflects the action that may soon come?

"Why are you wearing THOSE shoes?"

"Umm, because you NEVER know what can happen."

Yeah Mojede, I'd like to see those shoes that kicked me near to death. Won't ever. I tried, for years, to find out who those guys were. No longer a plan. Gone forever.

I am careful these days, to be prepared. Watch their hands, early on. Stand back, more than arms length. But hell, these days, I wear a suit with dress shoes. No choice, no kick ass footwear, but an alert mind and a concealed weapons permit.

Yes, jstan. My opinion is Jody's entry (grand prize) had exceptional composition. The vivid orange really stands out against the neutral colors of the rocks and surf.

That's when I knew this was a troll. Photos never seem to equal shopping spree.

Any one with shorts as tight as Jodys you don't "sucker punch" anyway... you slap them.

Side note: Jennie = Jody - Michelle + Mimi

I avoid Jody like the plague, he is just too contentious for me. As soon as he gets into a thread I am usually heading out. I have read very few of his threads, or threads that he infects. What’s funny is when I saw Jennie posted a thread about Jody I immediately thought Jennie = Jody too.

Also I recently heard that Jody is a big (strong) dark haired guy. I would have pegged him as a small red head that most likely had a runny nose problem as a child. Funny how you try to match a face/ persona to what you read.

Granted I do not know Jody, and he may be a great guy. The above was just my impression.

Prod, you're thinking of Mr. Beasley's friend.

Edit: Fattrad, more info = Brian Keith's TV son on "Family Affair" (if you meant me). OOPS. It's Mrs. Beasley and Buffy's doll not Jody

Maybe Prod (nice pic below) knows how to post that one.
