Loading ...Seriously, why is it that every single dangerously violent sport, with very few exceptions, seems to originate somewhere outside the U.S.? What I mean by “dangerously violent,” of course, is “sport that I’d love to watch on a regular basis, but can’t because it doesn’t happen here.”
At any rate, Japanese Flourescent Lamp Fighting is probably something you thought about doing as a kid. I know I did–we had these long-ass flourescent lights in our kitchen, and I can clearly recall how cool it would be to use one of those as a lightsaber. Then, when I found a bulb in the garbage, I ran around the back yard waving it like some semi-retarded Jedi, only to discover the explosive power of the pressurized tube. Let’s just say pops wasn’t too happy when he had to cut the grass that weekend.
Ergh.
So, lamp fighting: bloody, thoughtless, and probably very, very watchable.
