Now, THAT, my friends is a sport. I’m moving to Cambodia. We’re barely allowed to fight two roosters against each other.
I think the midgets would win. Chances are he would choke to death on the first midget, or if not, get so tired out from eating midgets the rest of them could easily finish him off.
This is so not funny. This is unjust and barbaric and cruel to animals, and derogatory and making fun of people of short height.
…I can’t help it, I’m laughing anyways. 
I wonder how much money they made.The fight was called in only 12 minutes, after which 28 fighters were declared dead, while the other 14 suffered severe injuries including broken bones and lost limbs, rendering them unable to fight back.Aw.
That is the most bizarre thing…Is this real? I feel like this might happen on bizarro world, but here on earth? Is this legit? I feel whooshed and if it isn’t a whoosh then I don’t know how to feel…
Strangely enough, someone just e-mailed me the same article in the last 20 minutes. And I think we’ll all breathe a little easier knowing it is FAKE:
My money would have been on the midgets. I mean they can be viscous little buggers at times. Two or three grab each of the lion’s legs and they should have him weighed down enough to prevent much movement. Then a few more leap on top, and that should bring him down.
The over/under was 27.5 Cambodian midgets dying. They had to let it go one for one more minute.
I will fess up that I was kind of suckered by the story. I didn’t think “midget” was appropriate anymore. I also was upset over the lack of detail. . .were the midgets armed? How do you actually provoke a lion into fighting midgets, etc. etc.?
Cover the midgets with sloppy joe?
Pluck the lion’s whiskers like a harp, Bugs Bunny-style?
Have the midgets dress it up in a sailor suit, complete with a little hat to Velcro onto its mane, and then take turns riding it?
[pet peeve]Midget=not acceptable. Little people or dwarves (if you must) please. [/pet peeve]
Alexei Panshin has a group of schoolkids face off against a tiger in his novel Rite of Passage. To tell the truth, I thought that it seemed farfetched and maybe the teachers were doing their part to reduce school overcrowding. But matbe now I’ll have to rethink that.
Yes, it’s their very viscosity which makes them so difficult to fight from a lion’s perspective. It’d be like trying to fight a barrel of molasses.
In the Wilbur Smith novel “The Sunbird,” there’s a section about where an African leader tells his people to attack a hippo. At first the hippo starts making mince-meat out of them, but there are thousands of the natives, and they eventually overcome him. (Well, it was just a novel.)
Also the leader of the lost city of Opet is called the “Gry-Lion.” So there’s a word that sorta starts with “gry”.
Does it have some sort of negative connotation? I recall reading somewhere that it’s a medical term.
Batman, if he’s prepared
…what?
I vote for the midgets. Especially if it’s the Fierce Midget Pirates of Willygoat.
They are known for gutting many and leaving few alive, you know.

[pet peeve]Dwarfs. Dwarves don’t exist outside of Middle-Earth[/pet peeve]
I don’t think you’re correct about that. Both are acceptable.
Unless you’re saying “my lexicographic skill dwarfs yours.”
Tolkien’s foreword to The Hobbit does not agree with you.
Agreed about the third person singular present indicative of the verb “to dwarf”, though.
