#1 Politician duels might replace pro-football on TV. Pro football has gotten much too racist and political and IMAO not worth watching anymore. Imagine, two politicians who you feel screwed you, both going at it in a duel--hmmm, it just might sell. Term limits for one of them. Also, bring back caning to the Senate--CSPAN could carry it (cynicism).

#3 In Portland, it could be 'dueling bongs and dildos'.

Not so much fun to watch........for me anyway.

#4 Portland is a little different. It's been a long time since I've been there but it was a little different in the early 70s too. Portland got shanghaied a long time ago.

#5 I propose for Oregon that all the friends of the two duelists stand behind them. In case one of them misses.

#6 Grenades and trench knives. Yes, in a maze of trenches.

#7 Not bad Beso but I think I'd want to bring back sabers or maybe go ethnic with machetes.

First they have to sign organ donor cards.
