An American Idiot in London

FrogClarke (NRC123) and his family are visiting relatives in London for Xmas.

FrogClarke: 'Don't forget Mom, I'm going to Harrods on Boxing day.'
FrogClarkes dad looks at his wife puzzled. His Mom says 'It's something to do with that on line Judo gang he's part of.'
FrogClarke squeals 'Mom! It's Karate not judo. Judo is for pussies'!
His Dad stares at him furiously 'Watch your mouth young man or you will be grounded for the duration. OK'?
'OK, dad. Erm...sorry'.

His dad talks to his mom 'Why is he going to Harrods on Boxing day'?
His mom says 'Apparently he's going to meet some English person for a fight'.
'What, his dad says, he's meeting some random English guy, who for all we know isn't alone, or worse, he's a psychopath serial killer'?
His mom says 'Yes. I suppose you should go with him just in case'.
'Jesus H on a bike Marion. Why the hell do you indulge him'?

Boxing day arrives and FrogClarke can't contain himself. He shouts up the stairs 'Right I'm off to Harrods'.
His Mom shouts 'Hang on. Your father is going with you'.
FrogClarke and his dad jump in a taxi and the taxi driver greets them. 'Alright guvnor, where to then'?
'Harrods please' his dad replied.
The taxi driver then went in to full on cockney mode.
'Gor blimey, you a yank then guvnor? My old man used to 'ang around wiv the Yanks during the war. Yeah, he couldn't enlist to fight cause he was Mutton Jeff wasn't he'?
FrogClarkes dad blurted out 'What? what the hell are you on about'?
The taxi driver continued 'Yeah, Mutton Jeff he was. Couldn't hear a fing you know. Anyways, every Saturday he used to put on the old whistle and flute, leave us dustbin lids wiv the trouble and strife, jog down the frog and toad and go to the rub a dub for a night round the old joanna for a sing song and get scotch mist wiv his chums'.
FrogClarkes dad sighed 'Goddamn it, these guys invented the English language and can't even speak it'!
FrogClarke said 'Dad, we're here'.
FrogClarkes dad said 'Thank Christ for that'. Paid the taxi driver and got out.
They took up position outside Harrods and his dad turned to him and said 'OK, what's this all about then'?
'Well dad, he says, wearsalan.......
'Who'?
'wearsalan is the guys name. He's this English guy who argues with us on the internet'.
'Us? Oh you mean your on line judo club'?
'It's Karate dad. Cobra Kai, never dies'
'Yeah whatever, carry on'.
'Anyway dad, he went too far with romefan123, so I suggest they have a fight to resolve it'.
'Wait a minute. So the argument isn't even yours'?
Well romfan123 wasn't coming to England and I was, so I suggested that I fight for him'.
So wearsalan is going to fight YOU even though he has no problem with you? How long do we have to wait for him then'?
'Weeeelll actually, said FrogClarke, he said he wasn't going to be here as his beef was with romefan123 and not me'.
'Wait, What? said his dad , Then what the hell are we doing here in the freezing cold waiting for someone who has already said they wont be here'?
'So we can say he is a coward for no showing' said FrogClarke.
'What the actual fuck'? says his dad, 'Are you shitting me? He already said he wouldn't be here. Are all your on line Judo club fucking idiots'?
'It's Karate dad, objected FrogClarke, not Judo'.
FrogClarkes dad said 'Wait here'. He went in to Harrods and bought a walking stick. He came out and started to beat FrogClarke with the walking stick shouting 'There's no way you sprung from my loins boy. When we get back I'm gonna punch your Mama right in the mouth'.

On the way back in the taxi FrogClarke reflected on the day. Maybe dad was right. Maybe being part of an on line Judo gang....Dammit! Even he was thinking Judo instead of Karate. Then he thought No! I am part of something for the first time in my life. Romefan123 even called me sensei, that's gotta be worth something after all. A compliment from a person who for all I know is an old man banned from being within 2 miles of middle school. Still, we're Cobra Kai and as such brothers in arms. Cobra Kai never dies!

....and the madness continues to this day.

Earlier that day…..

At a counsel estate in Tichfield, there lived a volunteer karate instructor. As his alarm went off that dreary British morning, his heart sank into his chest like the slow descent of the Titanic into the Atlantic. He had been dreading this day for some time. With some effort, he pulled himself off his mattress and tiredly stumbled his way to the third floor community latrine he shared with his Irish traveling neighbors. Gazing upon the forlorn figure staring at him through the cracked glass, he reflected upon the poor choices that had brought him to this moment.
“How’d it ever come to this,” he wondered aloud.
After that day, he knew, his life would never be the same.

It would never be the same because the idiot American had not learned his lesson. Despite the beating FrogClarkes father gave him. Despite standing outside Harrods waiting for someone he knew wasn't going to be there. Despite knowing that the person he was white knighting could indeed be banned from being within two miles of middle school, he still felt he was doing the right thing by being part of the on line Judo...er...I mean Karate gang.
Wears heart sank. But then he realized that this idiot would post his (ahem) adventure on the internet and would be laughed at (not with) by the rest of his on line Judo...dammit...I mean Karate gang.

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a toilet flush and from the third stall emerged Mr Stanley, his portly neighbor with whom he had often watched Strictly.
“Come to what, my dear lad?” Inquired Mr Stanley, a smudged edition of the Daily Mail hanging from his battered trousers.
“Aw, it’s nuthin,” mumbled Wears.
“Bullocks. Out with it!” Demanded Mr Stanley.
Wears took a deep sigh.
“You see, I verbally agreed to a fight in London later today but I’m starting to get cold feet. Im afraid ok!”
“Aren’t you a ninth Dan black belt? You showed me your online sensei profile.”
“ I haven’t been completely honest with you, Mr Stanley. It’s just something I paid Ollie in 4C five quid to make for me. You see, I always thought it would be better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody.”
“Wow that’s pathetic. You're obviously a deranged young chap with self esteem issues.”
“I know. I know.”
“My advice is to not show up. You may have already lost all your dignity, but you’ll still have your life intact.”
“Thanks Mr Stanley, you always know what to do.”

“You see, This arsehole believes I verbally agreed to a fight in London later today despite me saying I wouldn't be there”
“Aren’t you a ninth Dan black belt? You showed me your online sensei profile.Just go kick his head in”
'Actually I'm a 7th Dan. But that's the problem, it would be like shooting fish in a barrel for me. Besides, my beef is with romefan123, not some keyboard warrior with nothing to lose but his teeth'.
“So this idiot is turning up despite you already saying you are not going to be there? Wow that’s pathetic. He's obviously a deranged young chap with self esteem issues.”
“I know. I know.”
“My advice is to not show up. Let this dickhead stand in the cold if he wishes Hopefully somebody will sort the cunt out.”
Suddenly the radio burst to life. It was Green Day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee_uujKuJMI

At the same time FrogClarkes father was beating him with a walking stick outside Harrods. Though wearsalan didn't know it at that time, there was justice in the world

You’re trying to rewrite history to portray yourself as some kind of hero despite the fact that you’re the one who no-showed. Considering the context, your actions were beyond cowardly.

Longtime posters already know that you chickened out from a real fight after agreeing to meet, then maneuvered to shut down the IMDb boards to cover up the evidence.

He no showed on me twice! Once in London and another time in Jamaica. Actually in Jamaica, he sent his girlfriend to fight! This girl came into the bar and started asking “who is cruisin109?” I just drank my beer and was embarrassed that WA no showed.

He created a sock puppet called cruisin109. He hoped that if he was completely overboard with his fantasies he might evade attention from the others in the gang who were now really ripping the piss out of him.

Notice how there is no reply to that question?

The boards closed and he hoped that saved him from embarrassment. But then moviechat started and the Kai could rise again.
Such was FrogClarkes embarrassment and derision from the rest of the on line judo gang (dammit did it again) karate gang though, that he had to reinvent himself. He decided on a name change and became NRC123. Unfortunately his idiocy betrayed him. What to do? Of course, his cruisin109 sock account could save him.
Sadly, there was a new generation of posters on the boards and they saw right through his guise.
To this day he remains an embarrassment to the Kai and has been reduced to posting on old Daniel vs threads and talking to himself whilst trying to battle wearsalan. A fight he would never win.
Still, he often promises to go to wearsalans dojo but despite this empty promise, wearsalan has extended an open invitation for him to do so.
THE END.

Mr Wears, what you've just written is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this board is now dumber for having read it. I award you no attention, and may God have mercy on your soul.

WA how come you didn’t just show up to fight NRC123? What would have been the harm?

[–] wearsalan (5554) 3 years ago

None....to me.
Have you been following the situation?
Romefan123 and I had an argument. FrogClarke (NRC123) said the only way to settle it was to have a fight. I asked how that would be possible seeing as romefan123 lived about 3000 miles from me. FrogClarke (NRC123) said he would fight me as a stand in for romefan123 as he was coming to the UK at Xmas. I turned him down as my argument was not with him. He kept saying he would meet me outside Harrods on Boxing day. Contrary to his bullshit I repeatedly told him I would not be there as my beef was not with him.
He says he was there and that I was a no show. Not sure why he thinks I would be there as I always maintained that I wasn't going to be there.
But then seeing as you are him, you already know this.

No
I'm saying I had no beef at that time with him/you. The argument was with romefan123. Romefan123 said he would love to meet me to smash my face in because of said argument (violence eh? The last resort of someone losing an argument).

So if you have no beef with me.. why do you purport to have shown up at Harrods to fight me? Your excuse that you no showed on NRC123 was because you had no beef with him but you ostensibly DID show for me despite having no beef? Caught you in a logic trap! You have lost WA!

Point 1) My argument was with romefan123 when your FrogClarke guise challenged me whereas my argument was with YOU directly when in your cruisin109 guise, challenged me. Hence in the first case I had no crib at that time with FrogClarke but in the second case I was dealing directly with the person with whom I was arguing. I didn't know at that time you were the same person.

Point 2) I was in London the day you suggested so it was no inconvenience to go to Harrods and call you on your bullshit. Whereas in your FrogClarke guise it was Xmas time and I wasn't going to leave my family and travel 250 miles to meet someone who I wasn't arguing with and didn't believe would be there.

Point 3) You asked if I had a beef with you. I don't but I did at the time you in your cruisin109 challenged me to meet at Harrods.

Your trap failed because your logic is flawed and failed to take the details of what happened in to consideration.
You see when YOU ask a question it is never genuine curiosity. It always has an ulterior motive (i.e) it's usually a trap. You are a keyboard warrior playing to a non existent crowd.


You have lost FrogClarke/NRC123/cruisin109. How do you like them apples?

I’m sure the Harrods doormen would have called the police to escort him away. Can you imagine it? Wear Alan, a grown ass man in a karate gi loitering in front of a store in London waiting for some American kid to show up that he can fight? If he had a wife or girlfriend she would have berated him for such tomfoolery. I wonder if Wears Alan bragged to his child students that he pulled this stunt… their parents would probably pull them from his class!

First off, at least you now accept I was there and seeing as you have done that you are also confirming you weren't. See, the truth has set you free.

Secondly, ....in London waiting for some American kid to show up....thanks for admitting that you are what I suspected all along...A KID!

Lastly, why would I walk around London in a Karate gi?

Go back to the shallow end of the pool kid. This is where you swim without water wings.

The middle bit was true of cockney taxi drivers so had to be left in. And the added (epilogue) was asked for really.
