Ever wondered why the bad-asses get all the best lines? No, neither have I - I just love them – which is the first reason I had to seek out the best bad-ass lines for my TOP TENS blog category.

 
 … but, I need your help!

 
I’m going to throw one in the hat to kick things off, and it’s a biggie. A biggie that inspired reason two! I watched THE WALKING DEAD on Monday (that’s a lie, I was knackered on Monday and went to bed after watching I’M A CELEBRITY, GET ME OUT OF HERE!), on Tuesday night, and the nasty Negan delivered a killer line right at the end.  Be warned, I don’t think it will beaten!!
 
I’m sorry for all those who haven’t watched it, but it won’t ruin anything – other than the delivery of the line.  However, I do hate a spoiler: so please feel free to skip watching the clip below and just post the best ‘bad-ass’ line you can think of.
 

​THE RULES?
The line MUST HAVE been delivered by a bonafide bad-ass!
The definition of bad-ass?
I’ve just Googled it, and the definition reads:
“…a tough, uncompromising, or intimidating person.”
 
Up for the challenge? Cool. I’m posting this one on my blog, and I will be sharing it here, there and everywhere.
 
Looking forward to checking out your suggestions – post’em anywhere I can see them!!
 
Oh, any suggestions that hit my TOP TEN will automatically be dropped in the hat for a signed copy of a limited edition copy of my Hourglass Heights! Limited Edition I hear you say? Yep – I changed the cover design a while back, and the publisher pulped all the original copies… but I hid a few away for a day just like this!

MY CHOICE IS BELOW!! (I know, it's bad-ass! But don't worry, I'm ineligible)

This list is subject to change due to the potential of huge income in the near future ☺ But I was asked the question, so here is goes:

My Wife
Apologies, thing = stunning woman who I exchanged vows with nearly twenty years ago. Without the support of my wife, I wouldn’t have been able to write – period.

My Children
They’re loud and full of energy (and questions), but they keep me young. They also provide the motivation for me to earn mega-bucks so I can sign them up for classes and pay for them to go out and enjoy themselves – a totally selfless act, I promise.

Starbucks 
The Grande Mocha - the fuel of authors!

Email
I seem to remember a device that you could tap numbers into and that enabled you to speak to people on the other end. Not sure what happened to that, so I’ve become reliant on electronic mail to communicate with people now.

Football 
It’s the only way I can sit down and switch off from my writing. When I watch movies, it triggers my creative process. When I watch football, there is no plot, no twists and turns and no intriguing characters (in the story sense!) so I can just switch off and recharge.

My Car
Without it, how would I get to Starbucks to write my books? Oh, and how would I buy life’s little luxuries like food and drink? Once a year I lose it for its MOT – horrible!

My Laptop
I’d look very stupid finger-tapping thin air when writing my books.

My iPhone
Duh! Email. Facebook. Twitter. Web-browsing. Taking photographs. What other possible use would there be for a phone?

SKY TV
Sky TV entertains, inspires and educates. It also keeps the kids quiet!

Food
Think back to Biology class! I also actively enjoy food, of course, but that means lots of walking too, otherwise I’d have no chance of fitting behind a desk. I don’t actually work behind a desk, but for the sake of this question I do. But I don’t. But if I did. It would.
