Should Zell have his way?

Only two choices and no flip flopping.

*Note: Most duels in the U.S. never resulted in death. The duelists usually shot up over there heads. The event was mostly held to make a point and restore one's honor.

Shaddim · Sep 3, 2004, 04:32 PM

Yes, absolutely. It's about freedom of choice, no?

Atomic Rooster · Sep 3, 2004, 04:50 PM

Just some more info...

I'm all in favor of those two dueling. Either way it turns out, the rest of us win.

itai195 · Sep 3, 2004, 05:04 PM

I demand satisfaction!

SimeyTheLimey · Sep 3, 2004, 05:52 PM

How about we start with Michael Moore and Anne Coulter?

Of course, that probably puts old Mickey at a bit of a disadvantage, target wise.

itai195 · Sep 3, 2004, 05:54 PM

Moore and Limbaugh might be more appropriate

Yeah, Ann's probably too good of a shot.

It doesn't have to be guns. There are all kinds of weapons we could utilize.

Miller vs. Matthews. Painball match of doom.
Miller can hit the man, and Matthews will ask what "he meant by that."
Or:

Pay-Per-View Battle of the Extremes! A deathmatch of the dead!
Watch as Joseph Stalin and Ronald Reagan fight to the undeath at a past gate to the Berlin Wall! It will be the Armageddon thing-y. Except it'll be Stalin vs. Reagan.
Stalin can use his demons in the Secret Police to try to assassinate, and Reagan will use an M-16 to the forehead. Hell, we could even bet on this one.
If Stalin wins, we put Miller in a PC Communist labor camp, and if Reagan gets the first shot and wins, we'll put Kennedy in a construction job/workout program/AA plan.

Deal?

Hey, I didn't take fencing in college for nothing.

itai195 · Sep 3, 2004, 11:24 PM

I'd like to see a Miller/Matthews duel using spitballs instead of guns, that might be intriguing.

PacHead · Sep 3, 2004, 11:28 PM

I bet Michelle Malkin could even kick his ass. They way he treated her was pretty pathetic.

PS - Did I mention, I like asian women, especially ones who have good political opinions. Most asian women I meet aren't interested in politics. Too bad she's married, I believe.

Sometimes I think it might actually be for the best if we legalized duels, you know?

Imagine, for example, if international disputes were resolved with duels instead of wars. Just as stupid and pointless, but much cleaner. Besides, Bush vs. Saddam would have been quite entertaining

Well I think Bush may well shoot himself in the gonads so they could pick seconds to do the deed.

Bush could Pick Swarzzenegger and Suddam could pick Comical Ali.

Winner gets free oil for life and a country.

Bush was in fact challenged to duel with Saddam but he chickened out: http://edition.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/me...raq.bush.duel/

Yeah Saddam def would have won. He slays Dragons for scantily clad blond women don't ya know.

Too bad he doesn't do it for Allah.

OBL v. Bush.
We'll construct cage above a rebuilt WTC (God I hope they don't build that gay looking one I saw) and have a fight to death. OBL can have his AK-47, and Bush will have a revolver. Anyone ever see Golden Gun, the Bond movie? Remember where he was stalking him in that room? That'd be even cooler.

I'd perfer we do it in an arena.

khufuu · Sep 4, 2004, 09:40 PM

No! Absolutely not! It would take all the fun out of killing your best enemy and then trying to get away with it!!

Heh. Because we all know Kerry would scuff his thumb with the hammer, ask for a purple heart, and whine about wanting to go home.

I remember that. In fact, that was why I used the Bush vs. Saddam example. Bush vs. bin Laden would also be cool.
