If you never saw the movie, "Fight Club" skip this one.
Standing on the bus yesterday afternoon was a tall kid of maybe 16 or 17 years of age. He was athletic, wirery and appeared very confident. He had a scar on his face. The scar was much like a thin backwards Nike swoosh which extended from about the middle of his left ear, over his high cheek bone to his nose. Oddly, the scar seemed all him, totally natural as if it had always been there. It wasn't raised but, rather appeared almost as if it were drawn on although, I think not.
As more people boarded the bus the kid could no longer lean against the railing near the driver. He now stood in the middle of the aisle with his back to me. I only then noticed his teal blue shirt which looked new. It was short-sleeved with epaulets. Across the back (I think this is called the yoke) between his shoulders a white piece of cottony fabric was stitched onto the shirt. That piece of fabric had the two inch words, "FIGHT CLUB" embroidered with navy thread.
You probably have already figured out where I'm going here. FIGHT CLUB? Why isn't the first rule of Fight Club that you don't talk about Fight Club? Boy is that kid in trouble. If there's some sort of certain hell to pay for speaking of Fight Club, what punishment will this lad incur for advertising for Fight Club? In addition, advertising in teal blue can't help his case either. Who am I to judge but, maybe confidence and the scar was all he needed to signify his membership in Fight Club? It's a different day however, I still believe that Mr.'s Pitt and Norton would not approve of any of this. Geez, the kid probably even Twitters about Fight Club.
