Fort Worth woman bites, swings sword at boyfriend for not cleaning dishes
Hey guys, not only is she single, but she just posted bail.
Artist rendering of Pouncy during the assault.
A Fort Worth man, Joseph Boykins, told police that his live-in girlfriend, Briana Lin Pouncy, 20, became rather angry after he didn't clean the dishes. After Pouncy ordered him to leave their apartment, which he did not, she tried to force him out. She proceeded to bite him and break a picture frame over his face, before grabbing a sword and swinging it at him. She missed.
The incident took place on Thursday. By Friday she had posted $10,000 bail.

You really have to learn the woman you live with. There are times when you just don't want to be in the house.

Ok - So a meat tenderizer, a cast iron skillet, and now I have to add a sword to my list of relationship essentials??? This is beginning to sound like a lot of work. Maybe I should just stay single!

Hey, methinks the dishes were the last straw...wondering what else is in his resume..? Maybe he didn't put the lid down.

Rick - yes, longevity depends on spotting the early warning signs of a "mandatory night out" Though it can be confusing to chart specifics like picture frames or meat tenderizers, generally a blow intended for the face by anything not manufactured by Nerf is an announcement of two beers waiting for you at the Pearl.
Tumbles, I think you can rest assured a skillet is adequate. Don't get into that "upgrade trap". There will always be a cooler, more fashionable way to bludgeon your loved one. Frankly, I'd shy away from the tenderizer. Its been done. For front page coverage, be creative. Stretch yourself. Find a weapon that says "jtmbls." Maybe some repurposed lawn art or pet care products - you're much more interesting than that.

Yes, something a little more Buffy-esqe. A wooden stake perhaps? Holy water? Maybe just practice my round house kick. Depends on the man I suppose.

Hmm. I'm just thinking -- for style and maximum fashion crossover... I'd make the weapon a piece of attire. Maybe a heavy belt or weighted sash... something functional but apropos for after six or dinner. Flashy, but not outrageous (except for its weaponry attributes) sort of a modern metro chick Oddjob angle.
It's definitely worth doing right, but my Y chromosome is too healthy today to get a real "flair" on for it.

Seems to me like this woman would have saved a lot of money by just chucking the dirty dishes out the window, then putting his x-box 360 on e-bay to pay for a new set.
You have to hit them where it hurts.

Good idea, jtmbls. Any chance PN can get one via FOIA?

Gosh! She doesn't look like she'd hurt a fly. Not at all what I was expecting.

Tumbles, they all look dangerous to me. Remember, only in western culture have we taken away one duty usually reserved for the females of the clan, the torture of enemies taken prisoner.
THAT one perspective can keep a toilet seat in the right post-use position indefinitely.

Poor thing needs an older, female mentor to help her learn how to whup her man into shape without leaving visible marks. Kind of like a Victoria Stillwell for husbands and boyfriends.

I see great community service potential there momzilla! Can we use shock collars???

I like the way you think, jtmbls. I've never had to resort to the shock collar myself, but the idea has merit. It's certainly more humane than the traditional freezing method.

Correction, JT: I am informed by my husband that the shock collar is only effective on certain breeds of men, and then only as a reward.

Nah. He's not the type to whom I would need to issue stern commands in German. Comfy sofa, good quality feed and liberal cigar smoking rules and he's pretty darned easy to live with. He was just explaining one of the mysteries of the male brain, and not the oddest discussion we've had on the general subject. Y'all aren't like us, which tends to lead to miscommunications and, well ... beaning y'all with heavy objects and hacking with swords. It is just too strenuous with virtually no positive influence on behavior.
