LOL. (as if it's a christmas story you're reading your children:) Once upon an early morning, I was waiting at Boston's Back Bay station at 5am when all of a sudden, a crazy guy grabbed my camera bag and said he had a gun! When he turned his back, I speared him into the wall with as much force as I could muster and down smashed him as hard as I could. When I eventually got him to release the bag, he pulled out a needle and jabbed at my face, screaming, "I've got AIDS!". Not wishing to get the AIDS, I let him take the bag, but knowing full well my weekend at APEX 2012 would be for not if I didn't have a camera, I chased him down the tracks. Knowing that crackheads typically can't use cameras but can use money, I offered him 20 bucks for the bag. Out of breath, he countered with 40. I handed him 30 and took my camera bag and my other belongings and barely made it onto my train in time. In 8 months, the fine people of the MBTA Police were able to track him down and now he's doing 2.5 behind bars. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

I am going to imagine that was a fully charged down smash because any other mental image just doesn't compare
