Who will win in a fight to the death?

**Disclaimer:** I am not wishing death on my fellow SDMBers. I’ve just noticed lately how everyone keeps equating the two of them, and with all the Batman vs. threads lately, thought this would be appropriate.

Ah. A 1920s style death match.

I don’t know.
Have you ever actually _seen_ **Reeder** and **december** at the same place at the same time?
I’m just sayin’ …

If they did appear at the same place at the same time the universe would instantly transform into a naked singularity in a blinding flash of light leaving no one to tell the tale.

Hmmmm… Maybe **Reeder** is just the secret identity of **December**. Or perhaps it is the other way around.

Reeder.
IIRC, december is kindof elderly.

I disagree - it’s a battle of wits, so age isn’t relevant.
Based on my entire three months of viewing experience, I’ll go with **december** , if for nothing other than length of political rants.
Eh, this thread wouldn’t be encouraging them to get in the ring, would it? Yikes!

ACK!!! What if, just as the battle was joined, a nearby nuclear power plant blew up, exposing the combatants, locked together in their death duel, to a transmogrifying blast of radiation, and the now-fused **DEREEDBER** was loosed upon an unsuspecting universe?
The mind boggles.

So mind-boggling, that it had to be said twice, just in case your mind wasn’t boggled enough the first time.

Oh, sorry; terribly sorry; my 1920s style death ray malfunctioned.

Sorry to hear that, **Freddy** , I hear that 1920’s-style death ray malfunctions are pretty nasty. You didn’t, like, lose an arm or anything, did you?
Yeah, I’ll bet that’s what happened, your arm fell off and hit the submit button again ;j

Oh, and I apologize for my use of the Jewish man that’s probably out of context, but he’s so happy and so underused. . .
Oh, a bet? If I had known that, I wouldn’t have waited until my third post here to say **december** in a landslide.

I bet he’s really one dude, like that guy in Star Trek with the half black, half white face. Only his is like…one half is red, in the shape of Alabama, and the other is blue, in the shape of California.

There is no question. December would kick Reeder’s ass from here to eternity.

First of all, what sort of a brawl is this?
Second, making some assumptions as to what sort of one:
1. “Fighting with fists”: I recall that **december** claimed to be sixty a while back, so the advantage would go to **Reeder**.
2. “Fighting with OP’s”: A draw.

I’m thinking option #2. I wouldn’t want them to literally fight to the death.
