A week ago on the radio, there was an interview broadcast where someone remarked “if dueling was legal, mass shooters and terrorists wouldn’t be terrorizing, they’d be dueling” which led me down a rabbit hole which led me to wanting to make something out of it as it’s now one of my fixations. Throughout history, though, it has come in many kinds, from guns to swords to jousting and, at one time, Canadian logrolling. What kind, real or fictional, is your favorite?
They say the best revenge is a life well lived. I want two guys to competitively live great lives at each other, until in old age they’re best friends!
One that I hope will be part of history some day: wrecking ball duels. Imagine how cool it’d be to have two of those huge tower cranes swing at each other.
I also want to see train jousting. Instead of just two horses with one dude each, I want to see two passing trains with open carriages, each with hundreds of lances trying to poke the people on the other train/track.
You are a deranged monster.
Don’t ever change.
Medieval Rap Battles? Fantastic!
Warbird dogfights.
I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Deathball.
It’s been a really long time since I read “The Three Musketeers” but I loved the way they described the duels. I also love the way sword duels from that time period are portrayed in movies. Fencing is also something I enjoy watching everytime the Olympics comes around.
