Drunk fights, screaming matches, tell your friends you’ll kick all their asses. You took a shit on someone’s mattress. Broken bones, slashed tires, throwing rocks at passers by, and you set the neighbor’s lawn on fire. Now you’re cast out, reviled, too trashed, too volatile, they say, “Just stay at home. Do us all a favor.” “Well, that’s fine. You can keep it. Don’t call, I don’t need it. But if you’re gonna call, you can call me the Rager.”
