More than likely
Although I would quite like to see a duel between Legless and the Loon *opens up a book*

My monies on the Loon....
He knows how to handle an axe. Although Legless is from the North East.

Money on Legless please
what are the odds?

Geordie in a fight? Gotta back 'im. Although an Engineer might have some kind of weapon ...

Would Be Interesting
Only 2 years between us. Both brought up in the school of hard knocks and dirty tricks.

It could be a classic fight.

But.

The Loon is a 'Merkin so, as soon as the fists started to fly, he'd end up punching someone on his own side.

Friendly Fire is a bitch.

Cheers

Nah, no friendly fire here.
I'll just fire up the infrasound and blast him with the Brown Noise, 'coz that's what us geeks do...

my money would be on legless
true they have their similarities: wilyness, reliance on wacky gadgets...

but I think the maniacal glint in legless' eye is just that brighter than that of the Loon.

Finger wrestling.....
Would be a fine way to prove ones masculinity and silliness.

Make them play
rock, paper, scissors

Or.....
Welsh un-armed combat.

Welsh un-armed combat
I'm probably going to regret this .... but

What's that then BGB?
(TheWeeWitch hasn't been here much recently .., Thu 1 May 2008, 14:25, closed)

Or...
Jam, Badger, Flag. The izzardesque equivalent of rock paper scissors.

He may be from northern England...
but I have a Jack Russell with a case of Mad Nub.

Oh..
You want a *Geek* fight?

I giggle at your Brown Noise as you'd need weeks, and weeks of calibrating (and only with my co-operation) and, even if it worked, the best you could hope for is for me to fight "brown-trousered". The French have been doing that for centuries.

So, my home-built weapon of choice would be two-fold. Surround-sound Bee-Gees to sap your will to live, followed up by a vacant Bimbo waving a 'shopped birth certificate.

I winz..

^^Weewitch
Welsh un-armed combat is when you fight with your arms tied behind your back.

I can do worse.
"How much is that doggie in the window..."

(If ever there was a sound to induce the tearing off of one's own ears, that is it. What the hell ever made them think that should be recorded?!?)

@TRL : raise the stakes
You could always go for St Winifred's School Choir and "Grandma We Love You". It has been known to cause mass murder of pensioners, mind, and should be approached with extreme caution.

Oh, I can hit you with worse than that, I assure you.
I sadly have a head full of songs that crush the spirit.

"Ain't she sweet? See her walking down that street.
Yes I ask you very confidentially, ain't she sweet?"

"Five foot two, eyes of blue
But oh, what those five foot could do
Has anybody seen my girl?
Turned up nose, turned down hose,
All dressed up in fancy clothes,
Has anybody seen my girl?
Now if you run into a five foot two
Covered in fur,
Diamond rings and all those things,
Bet-cha life it isn't her.
But could she love, could she woo?
Could she, could she, could she coo?
Has anybody seen my girl?"

"MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!"

Give up yet?

No, stop, my ears are bleeding!!

I find that the best thing for removing Frank Sinatra from my ears
is some early Pink Floyd. "Meddle" in particular seems to do the trick...
