TopIdol goes to Thunderdome

Greetings my little readers. I have returned. Well, physically yes, mentally, NOOOOO! I so do not want to go to work tomorrow. Or do laundry. Or worry about blogging every damned day DEEZ did an AMAZING job and I’m sure I’ll be begging her to keep up with a few contributions here and there. I think she had fun doing it, too, right Deez? Heh. EVERYONE THANK DEEZ FOR BEING DEEZ!

But my little desert sojourn was wonderful. I’ve spent the last 8 hours going through my photos, uploading my photos, labeling my photos, adding descriptions, tagging, et al. It is tiring. But I DID want to share a little something fun with all of you. (Probably because I haven’t gone through even close to all the comments and posts since I left and hell, I’m sure some of you tarded your asses off in my absence, so…perhaps it is best if I let them be for awhile…)

Have you ever seen Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome? Well, at Burning Man, a SF-based camp called Death Guild runs their very own Thunderdome where you can fight. As it turns out, one of their members was an old friend of mine from about 8 years ago. We literally ran into each other in the kitchen of my camp. He gave me the lowdown so my new awesome friend Ruth and I decided to give it a go. And we have video!

It’s not the best video, but you can get an idea of what it is like. Nuts, yes. But lots of fun. We escaped injury free, sans my skinned knee and her scraped elbow, which was mainly because our skin was just so damn dry. (YOU try being covered in an alkaline dust for 8 days and tell me how your skin feels.) I’m on the left, in the furry green spats. Our fight was a draw. They sent two other girls out to fight with us. I think they do this when most females fight, given that people think this sort of thing is really hot. Heh.

Enjoy.

Spread the word. Do it.
