I have done plenty of research into the various recreational, stress/frustration-relieving activities commonplace among lower (and, in the case of purple, higher) bloods, and this particular bit of discussion reminds me of the one that seems most interesting to me: true, no holds barred brawling between with fists. I am, of course, typically too busy, too couth, and too 'above' such barbaric forms of stress relief, however... I will admit that it has tempted me recently. There is something to it when one thinks of it as a form of art, to get two people in an enclosed space, perhaps bereft of unnecessary garments, throwing punches and dodging counter-attacks with little care for anything but victory and the spectacle of it. Thinking of it that way makes it sound more appealing. That is to say, for the sake of art, I would like to engage in friendly fisticuffs with somebody sometime.
