Real-Life Fight Club for Techies
Status: Undetermined
The Associated Press reports that software engineers in Menlo Park, CA, taking a cue from the movie Fight Club, have begun forming real-life fight clubs in which they pummel each other senseless after work: They may sport love handles and Ivy League degrees, but every two weeks, some Silicon Valley techies turn into vicious street brawlers in a real-life, underground fight club. Kicking, punching and swinging every household object imaginable -- from frying pans and tennis rackets to pillowcases stuffed with soda cans -- they beat each other mercilessly in a garage in this bedroom community south of San Francisco. Then, bloodied and bruised, they limp back to their desks in the morning.
This could very well be true. Probably is. But it sounds kind of comical, like nerd combat. I'm wondering if the techies dress up as Captain Kirk and Spock when they fight each other. Also, it's not clear to me how the reporter learned of these techie fight clubs, or if he personally witnessed them.

For some reason, I'm picturing a lot of slapping and broken glasses.

My vision for this is more like the Stooges' Joe Besser in a slap fight with Charles Nelson Reilly...

I saw some footage of this on a news program (the program claimed the footage was of this nerd fight club) and they all had on head gear and pads and stuff. Not very manly 
Booch, I think Charles Nelson Reilly could beat the stuffing out of these guys from what I saw.

Christian attends a nerd fight club every week and comes home covered in bruises and aching.
It's called soccer.
