They intended to have the wives of the Shawnee braves that he killed torture him to death. When he arrived outside the town, the Catawba brave pretended to drop from exhaustion. The Shawnee untied his rope and picked him up to carry him into the town. When they lifted him up, he jumped down and ran off. The Shawnee followed him, and he jumped into a river. The Shawnee were firing at him so he swam halfway through the river underwater, then came up for air and swam to the other side. The Shawnee were still shooting at him, so he mooned them before heading off into the woods.

A search party followed, but when the Shawnee made camp for the night they did not post sentries. They didn't think one naked man alone in the woods far from home was much of a threat. Instead of running farther away, the Catawba warrior snuck into their camp, took a knife from a sleeping Shawnee brave and slit the throats of all the sleeping Shawnee. He then traveled back to Virginia, dug up the graves of the five Shawnee which he had previously killed at the time of his capture, and scalped them before returning to his hometown in South Carolina.

He has my vote for All-Time Bad-est Ass.

When I pressed that link and discovered what it was about I immediatly thought about Jack Churchill. That guy was one of most awesome soldiers out there, bow, claymore and bagpipe. Brilliant.

Never heard of Alvin York before but great story, a pacifist who kills so many by just staying calm and think about practice shooting at basic camp and turkey hunting at home. And comes home with 133 prisoners, epic moment. Is it a counter-attack? Oh no it's York again.

EDIT: This one is awesome to read too: http://www.cracked.com/article_16354...r-uttered.html
Dying with humour is a good thing I guess!

They miss one very good one though:
"I see that you have made three spelling mistakes."
Thomas de Mahay, his last words when he read his death sentence before they sliced him with a guilliotine.

I like the "Baddass of the Week's" rendition of Simo Hayha's feints a bit more, but is was an awesome article none the less. Thanks for pointing it out.
