It used to slightly tweak my nose when the weaponized outrage mob on the left complained of not feeling safe. Primarily because they'd say it in response to someone doing nothing but disagreeing with them or even simply saying something they didn't want to hear. Since neither of those remotely implies impending violence, I figured they're either lying or so paranoid that they need to be institutionalized and medicated.
Nowadays though, I count it as a happy thing. Turns out it's usually a combination of them lying and being extremely fragile little pussies. That sets me up to call them out on both counts and I genuinely enjoy doing so.

Frankfort, Kentucky, makes it against the law to shoot off a policeman's tie.

S'true. I'm terrified I might miss a perfectly good chance to catch a catfish. It gives me nightmares.

"Catfishing. The term comes from the long barbels, or whiskers that stick out from the mouths of catfish. While the whiskers of catfish house their taste buds and are used to search for food in murky waters, the act of catfishing will only serve to make you look like a complete slob, oblivious airhead, or creepy perv."
You do you I guess.

We await the day that the Mighty Buzzard becomes a Noodler. This is a southern thing, well below his latitude, but it involves going along the banks of waterways, looking for holes in the bank, where catfish may be, um, doing what catfish do, and so the Noodler in question inserts his hand into the hole in the mud bank, whereupon the fish in question is liable to latch onto the hand in question, allowing the fish entire to be pulled to the surface. Of course, TMB is from the Territories, so Noodling is outside of his cultural perview. Next thing you know, he will be using dynamite. It's a Libertarian cultural fishing thing.

Noodling's alive and well in America's sauce pan. And I want nothing to do with it. It's not only catfish that like to hang out in a hole in the bank and you don't get to look in first and make sure it's not a beaver or a cottonmouth.

The Mighty Buzzard, accidently catching beaver! So funny! Ha! (Cottonmouths cannot hold their breath so long, unless you are referring to something else?)

Not all holes in the bank are flooded. Apparently nothing much scares a noolder more than feeling air up inside a hole that their hand's in.
