Mods, if this belongs in . . . say, GD, please move it there.  I couldn't quite pin down where to post this.

If the "fighters" were hot chicks that were in thongs, this would have potential . . .  :naughty:

Killing Me Softly: Pillow-Fight Tournaments Grow in Popularity

NEW YORK —  A spectator sport of lightweight proportions is sweeping the globe, but its combatants don't use knives or fists.

They use feathers.

Pillow-fighting is all the rage among urban hipsters these days.

On Monday night about 100 fans showed up at a club in New York City to watch 16 fighters take to the mattresses in a pillow-fight tournament. Pillow warriors with monikers like "Duck Down Decapitator," "Queen of the Gutter" and "The Little Smoker" faced off in one-on-one, head-pummeling battles.

If you've ever been hit in the head with a goose-down-filled pillow, you know that it's like being hit in the head with a full sandbag.  I'm surprised that there haven't been head injuries reported . . .

"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.
