Rodger the passive geek gets aggressive on the Cape Epic


I had an interesting situation last night. After the evening production I went to the chill zone to nurse a lonely bottle of “OomTas”. I interviewed a number of the people that were around the tent and got some great ideas for when I return. There are now all to many ideas to write today!

This was all great fun up until I decided to go to bed at about 11:30pm. I got to the tent that I had put my bedding in and realized that my bedding had been moved… I did not know where to go to find the bedding so I figured I would have to make a plan quickly. I went back to the chill zone, where I found some fellow crew. Sarah kindly suggested that I call somebody at the race office. I was not keen on this as I knew that they would be sleeping. I thought I would try find the stuff one more time, still no luck. I was cold, drunk and tired… I wanted my bed and sleeping bag! I thought to myself stuff this, I am going back to the chill zone to get that number and then phone the race office.

I got to the tent, Sarah was still there and I managed to make an arrangement. There was a sleeping bag left at a previous venue, which was available for me to use. I felt pretty bad about waking them up, but they were very accommodating about everything. I now had a warm place to sleep! Thank goodness!

The part where Rodger the passive got aggressive was when I went back to the tent a second time to grab that number from Sarah. There was this Southern Suburbs jock sitting chatting to her, who happened to find this all hilarious. As I mentioned I was cold, drunk and tired, so my temper was short and this dude just did not get it. I said to him straight “You can go fuck yourself”, he did not like this and as I walked away he called me a “stupid geek”. I am proudly geek, but when some doos from Wynberg boys tunes me something like that I get pretty pissed off. I turned around, walked back to him and did something I have never done before…. I head butted him! Haha, I never thought I would do something like this! He was larger than me and if things had gone further I would probably have come off second best, but I still did it. Then I simply turned around and walked away. He shouted profanities at me, but ignored them!

Rodger Hoffman contemplates what happened the night before….

    Don’t take any guff from those jock swines! Just one thing. I don’t think it’s wise to admit to headbutting the guy on your blog, as it could be used against you should the guy press charges.
