Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Four-time gold medalist Dawn Fraser subdued and helped capture a teenage intruder at her home in Australia, kneeing him in the groin. It's a pretty impressive story before you consider that the would-be victim won the first of those gold medals in 1956. "I have got a titanium knee so it must have hurt him," said Fraser, 72.

Me too. Geriatric Krav Maga!

"While Fraser said she was "annoyed" with the intruder, she couldn't be too angry, since she has dabbled in some intruding herself. At the 1964 Tokyo Games, Fraser went on a middle-of-the-night raid to steal a flag from the entrance to the Emperor's palace. She was caught and arrested, but was released soon after and given the flag anyway."

Wow, the Japanese can be so elegant.

"Olympic Medalist, 72"

Damn. I thought this was going to reveal how old Bruce Jenner was under all those facelifts.

If Australia didn't have such restrive gun laws, he would have been shot. Never to do that again.

This reminds me of another attempted robbery a while back. Apparently a young man in his twenties tried to rob a convenience store and its sole patron late one night. The patron was in his 80's. The robber made the mistake of grabbing the patron. What the robber didn't know is the patron was ex-marine. While in the marines for many years, he was also the boxing champ. And after the marines, the patron spent 40 years as a butcher. The robber survived the beating but not by much.

After that first right cross it was just like stacking meat.

Kneed in the groin?
Ouch.
With a Titanium knee Joint?
OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!

He could now probably spend the rest of his life singing in The Vienna Boy's Choir......

She's just lucky the kid didn't have a car antenna.
