It might improve manners around here.

I suppose that we could make them cage matches and sell ticket.

Can we target anybody without consequence? Can we nominate champions to fight for us? What about hidden snipers? I'd instruct them to wound, not kill, I don't like murder. What's that, attorneys? Things are getting too complicated? Come on!
 
I'm thinking mano a mano, like Dice Clay said.


Maybe like Fight Club at some level.
 
With guns, swords, or dildos?


Maybe go all Andy Jackson traditional with dueling pistols. Then again, probably whatever sidearm the participants care to bring to use.


Gotta have seconds, too. No cheating . . . .
 
already being practiced in the USA. However, it's usually one-sided with the gunman having an AR-15 and creating multiple casualties.
 
Hmmm, not the same thing.
Not the same because it's supposed to be one on one, not one person surprising dozens of others. Well, I guess this is as close to a duel as we can get nowadays. Clink YouTube link for footage.

 
Ed would've ended up in a dual with one of the many welfare ranchers in the Southwest.


Ed is quite dead, and I'm certain that he is pragmatic enough to know that he can not give a shit with impunity because of that fact.
 
I have long believed disputes on Capitol Hill should be resolved at dawn, with swords, by the edge of the Reflecting Pool.

If we started choosing politicians for their sword skills rather than whatever it is we choose them by now, could we be any worse off?

At least they’d be good at something.


You are quite twisted. I like that. We have the grifters we do because we quit doing it ourselves.


Politicians need to get better at dying.

Again, not the same thing. A duel is riding your horse to work.

Actually, while Ed was alive, he did dual with The Welfare Ranching State, and there are ranchers today who want to find his hidden grave, dig him up, and fire AR-15s at him as if he were a case of Bud Lights.

Continuing kudos to Ed for speaking truth to power during his lifetime.

Absofuckinglutely!!! Ed was all about not fucking shit up, that it ain't all about making a buck, critters and wildlife, and monkeywrenches. I'm onboard.


Every good bar-tending guide should have a recipe for Molotov cocktails . . . .
 
I seem to have a vague recollection of such. I'm still skeert of you.


Waiting for this t-storm to blow in and wonderin' if the electrics will stay on.
You score points: if memory serves me right, you put up with my Madonna moves. 🤣.
Believe it Quebec is hot and humid as hell.

I'm over here working on The Coast, home of humididdity. And it showered. And I don't have all my workers today, and haven't.


I need for you to show me some more skeeriness so's I can use it to make them finish. ;)
