Last Conformist - I don't mean getting mad - I mean going berserkr, to borrow from the Norse roots. I pulled the bastard off my back, over my head, one handed to get at him (and he was a little taller that me and built the same). I tried to f**kin kill him, it took five people including a football player to get me off him and they had to bodily pick me up while ripping my arms free - two people per arm plus the football player bodily picking me up. I had every intention of strangling him to death, and left a bruise all around the front of his neck.
It's one of the reasons I've never been drunk - there is a history of berserking in my family. Trust me, if you go berserk versus going into a simple rage, you will know it and it will scare you. You have no control, and you will, if nobody intervenes, kill, cripple, or maim him until it subsides. I suspect it is what people call a killing rage. I was lucky, I found out when I was able to dodge any run-ins with the law, as I was clearly assualted.
It also meant that girls looked at me a little bit askance, as in my fellow acedemic types I was interested in. Thus the attempt to be successful at sports - there is a difference between "successful at sports" and "he almost killed KevinS," and in our nice middle class suburb the latter was NOT considered paticularly attractive.
