I've won and lost a dozen fortunes, killed many men and loved only one woman with a passion a flea like you could never begin to understand, that's who I am" -the whole statement was a bad ass line.

[@MikeSakaru]

@@Packguardian_gacha8684 The original idiom is, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch." They might not all hatch, then you went out and planned around having more chickens than you actually do, and you're screwed. So in a sentence like this one, where it's more past tense. It's implied that you should "count your chickens" 'cause you already counted 'em before they hatched, but they didn't all hatch. So recount them now, so you can plan accordingly. In other words: He counted his chickens before they hatched by engaging in a fight with this guy. Then when given his knife back, he should've "counted his chickens" now that they'd hatched (now that he was already into the event he triggered), realized he has less than his original count since they didn't all hatch (plan fell apart) and get out of there since he didn't have enough chickens.

I was a teenager during the decade of the 1970's. I worked with and knew multiple older guys from around town. Little did I know at the time that many of them were WWII veterans who saw heavy action in the war and never talked about it. One of our home town hero's was John Bradley who raised the original flag on Iwo Jima. For many, I didn't know they were WWII vets until they died and I read their obituaries in the local newspaper and learned of the many war medals and purple hearts those guys earned. I later discovered the same for Vietnam Vets. Respect your elders, you never know who they really are. R.I.P. Ken, Don, Harold, Bud, Dick, Alex, Bob, Robert, Dale, Randy, Steve, John and all the other veterans I have known.

Couldn’t agree more. That was the look and speech of a man that lived more in five minutes than these guys (or even most people) did in 18 years. I noticed it too when he emphasized flea. It wasn’t until I got married and had a kid that I could truly comprehend that feeling behind that line. It isn’t just that the kid dared to mess with him. Hub is disgusted because this kid is so blind to his own ignorance and so ill prepared for life that he’s gonna get himself killed. He doesn’t hate the kid and want to kill him. He sees what’s missing in the kids life and is disgusted by it. Fatherless behavior of an incomplete boy in need of discipline and direction. In my head I’d like to believe that after this, Frankie went on to better himself by joining the army, served for a few years, came home and became a cop and started volunteering with troubled kids to help them so they didn’t end up like he did.

This has always been a generational issue. I am an honorably-retired police officer with a law enforcement career spanning 30 years. As I drove young thugs to jail, many times involving hours and hours at the Emergency Room getting their boo-boos patched up first, I asked them if they knew why there were no old people like them. Not one of them ever figured it out. They often theorized that people mellow as they age. It came as quite a surprise to them, that the reason there are no old people like them, is because in order to become old, you first have to survive being young.

According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

Michael Caine was a British soldier in the Korean War, patrolling out in the no mans land of the line once the war went static, killing and avoiding death among the churned up ground and rotting corpses of the previous year. It was nearly as bad as WW1 and he spoke on the utility of bravery as a survival strategy.
