MENLO PARK, Calif. - 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.

I thought that movie was for nerds.

Why does anyone think this is a good time?

I participated in a Fight Club about two years ago.

I won, but I also came to a conclusion:

Never again.
:hmm: :nonono:
