More Things You Can Do Now That You Don’t Have A Job: Organized Cardboard Tube Fighting Leagues
“This isn’t really as fun as writing bubble mortgages, but that just
might be because I can’t afford drugs anymore.”
The same sense of duty that propelled us to tell you about the burping contest and The Brutaltron Bicycle Booze Cruise makes us want to let you know that Cardboard Tube Fighting Leagues are coming to Philly, and soon. (More info here.) Cardboard Tube Fighting, we believe, is one of these new Recession Pastimes that’s supposed to show us that, now that we have nothing, you can have fun with almost nothing! (See also: post below.) Anyway, this is all the rage in Seattle, where they apparently do unemployment right, and now you can have it, too, Philadelphia. Just make sure you don’t get your wires crossed and show up on the day they’re doing Metal Pipe Fighting instead.

There’s probably at least three to four guys who show up to every one of these things and take it way, way, too seriously. I might toss a World of Warcraft action figure onto the Art Museum circle in the middle of traffic just to thin the herd.
