Did Anybody Else See The Nunchuck Guy?

Living in North Austin has its benefits. Short commutes, parks nearby and proximity to Rudy's BBQ. However, they say around here to “Keep Austin weird”. Around here I don’t think it is something that needs any effort. I have not advertised nor solicited weird. It just happens. Yesterday was kind of weird. Now, our neighborhood looks pretty suburban. The streets are wide. Not uncommon to see a cyclist or runner, and a mother pushing her child in a stroller. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, the streets have been very full of people doing all of those things, but there was one guy doing it a little different. A man walking down the street does not get too much attention from me. However, walking and swinging nunchucks is a whole different matter. Not sure it is much defense from the virus, but it sure works for social distancing. I am concerned that a child would be curious and approach said individual. With one swing, curiosity extinguished. There are times I confess that I wish I had nunchucks. You know, like all those times the person behind you at Starbucks is uncomfortably close and his breath is awful. Nunchuck!. The time you waited in a long line and somebody cut in front. Nunchuck! Now if we can get some car nunchucks we’d be all in for nunchucks. I think I swung a nunchuck a fews times as a kid. You remember back when it was cool to do karate. My parents would not let me participate in a sport like that or wrestling. Something un-christian about it. Don’t ask, it’s a whole other story. I do recall my cousin had some nunchucks. You quickly learn that if you don’t know what you're doing, you could lose a tooth. You’re lucky if you just get by with a bruise. That’s an odd weapon. I think if I were attacked by someone with nunchucks I would just step back and wait. Because it’s going to happen, just wait for it. Then bam, the guy hits himself in the balls. Now just walk away. Your attacker has removed himself. Which brings me back to the street walking nunchuck guy. I think he is pretty talented, and ballsy. To swing a weapon with the potential to remove a testicle while walking down the street. I tip my hat and avoid you, nunchuck guy.
