Ok, this story needs to be turned into PSA for bullying immediately:
Don’t pick on nerds…especially when you’re on their turf.
According to Click2Houston, Eugene Thompson was engaged in a heated argument with his live-in girlfriend when the woman called her estranged husband for backup. That’s when Thompson barricaded himself in the bedroom and decided to defend his honor.
“I heard him heading to the bedroom where I was, so I jumped in the closet and I grabbed one of my replica swords, and I pulled it out and stood at the doorway, and he was coming down the hallway at me while I was yelling, ‘Go away, you don’t live here’
Once the ill-tempered ex-husband broke through, Thompson, an avid anime fan and cosplayer, unsheathed his Master sword and prepared for battle. But what special attack did this brave and noble warrior use on his enemy? The spin attack!? The Fatal Blow!!??
”He just walked right into the point of the sword, I don’t know if he thought it was a toy,”
From there, Thompson and his adversary continued to duel with the latter being stabbed twice more in the in the leg and chest. Then, in a absurdly ironic ode to “Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time”, the ex-husband picked up a flower pot and smashed the brave Thompson in the head.
Soon after, the police arrived and separated the blood-ridden combatants. In the end, both men were taken to the hospital and treated for injuries. As for Thompson, well, he and his entire nerdy armory will have to find a new home as he has been given the boot from his now former lady.
But really, could you imagine what else this dude could’ve pulled out from his closet? What if he pulled out Cloud Strife’s Buster Sword or the Soul Edge from Soul Caliber? Thompson would probably be in jail for completely decapitating a man clean in half.
Actually, the only thing that could’ve possibly made this geeky Jerry Springer-like story better would be if the ex-husband decided to flee and Thompson tossed a red turtle shell at him.
PS- Tell me Thompson doesn’t look like a strung out Harry Potter. He’s got the glasses and the scar now. Dude just claimed his spot as the poster boy for nerds.
