After the Great Outdoor Fight, Lyle is going to get a job at a Car Wash, Beef is going to be on an Airplane that suffers a horrible fate but is miraculously landed and everybody will be affected by 9.0 temblor that hits downtown Achewood.

Sorry, I am too tired and got bad news on my cholesterol tests today.   You may take all my Dr. Pepper cans because (sob) I am such badness.

I gave you one, because a tiny can of Dr Pepper is exactly what you need to cheer you up.  Plus, it's cholesterol free and has no saturated fat!

I'll slip in a giraffe oil softgel.

Someone should run a book on the fight.  I would bet on Ray.

Jeezus folks, it's 4 in the am here and there's already two pages.  I used to like this place when it was quiet and private, &c! </grouch>

Okay, so I like how Teodor comes up with the name of the 1973 winner completely off the top of his head.  Also, despite Ray being able to lift all that, his dad was in much better shape than he is (ie No CHiPs Ponch).  I hope this meme runs for a looong time.

The Toronto Man Machine. Mmm. Did they ever have a rematch, I wonder?

I, too, would like to learn more about Brad Sweden and the Toronto Man Machine, although I'm not sure if this can be done in a worksafe way.

New favorite details about this strip:
* The intense old-timeyness of the picture of Ray's dad despite the relatively recent date;
* The use of "the Acres" to refer to the territory on which the Great Outdoor Fight takes place, making it all sound a little more country-club than you would normally associate with this sort of occasion; and
* Ray's dad's insistence that he personally beat the asses of 3000 men, and the realization that this is entirely possible given that I have no idea of the format of the Great Outdoor Fight.

Damn it, now I have that godawful Robbie Williams song, which I know was on the lock stock soundtrack.

Doesn't this make it so much better? I hope we never know.

Apparently it's not based on any system of groups and stages. Every contender has to fight each and every one of the 3000.
Now that's a man's, man's competition.

It's also funny that Rodney Leonard Stubbs is a much more sensible name then Ramses Luther Smuckles.

The paper implies that it's a battle royal. Where all 3,000 start fighting each other all at once, every man for himself until one is left standing.

I beg to differ.  The article says RLS "deftly avoided all allegiances, a risky tactic scarcely tried here on the Acres."  So much like Survivor, you can band together with a group to try to get through the preliminaries, then duke it out amongst the group at the end.

Yes, but not before putting slow-acting diarrhea pills in the drinks of your alliegance group during the pre-last-fight-day dinner where you celebrate having made it to the third day.

I'll bet there isn't anything of the sort... no breaks, no meals, just 72 hours of straight fighting, as many men falling to exhaustion as to the punches of other men.

THE GREAT OUTDOOR FIGHT AIN'T FOR SISSIES.
