I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I really can't remember when,
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.

That's when the gunplay started, the report said, with the son firing four or five shots at his dad.

Gunplay always sounds so lighthearted and whimsical.

This is terribly relevant here, but it is related:

I happened upon an episode of one of Dr. Drew's many television shows the other day. Apparently, it's really common for adopted children and their biological parents to become sexually attracted to each other if/when they reunite later in life. The examples on the show were opposite sex, but this is what I thought when I read the headline.

Give the dad a break with the name Artavious. Around 16 years ago there was a reprise of I, Claudius on PBS that he was probably really into.

To The Escape Zeppelin!: "Archie said his relationship with Artavious has been hostile since he sent him to a juvenile center for his behavior a few years ago," Well at least dad realized his son had problems early.


Refreshing departure from the angelic child theme.

When I hear that phrase I always think of the houselights dimming and hushed voices.
"Shhhhh... The gun play's about to start."

Also since when are 16 year olds even allowed in the liquor store?

I imagine the scene was well choreographed.

He's most likely pissed off at being named Artavious.
