neat idea! i would suggest that all wanting to beef it out about whatever or who-knows-what show up @ a tough-man contest in jackson , ms on a sat. nite , pay your 6 bucks and jump in to the ring ans settle all once and for all. or maybe they ought to have a tough-man contest in tucson this year. it would be a good internationally-know location- i would pay $100 just for admission to watch! and i'm talkin' chairs, coke crates or whatever. winner takes all. have it right before one of the big skyrock auctions. i'll inquire about a venue and a beer+hotdog sales license.
