Earlier this month I had e-mailed these two asking if something like this was either welcome or warranted. There were reservations at that time, but now things have come to a point where I believe it can be held off no longer.
Scylla declared himself supreme high poobah here despite my warnings that such power, no matter how well intentioned, would surely go to his head.
Fenris apparently woke up this morning with the song “Blue” playing on the clock/radio and threatened to take over the MB here.
There being no simple or easy answer to these two usurpers to the throne, and as moderator of the forum where antagonistic additudes threaten to explode between those even now taking up sides, I feel there is only one way to settle this.
Behold … The FENRIS vs. SCYLLA CELEBRITY DEATHMATCH.
(and before someone points out that it should have been Scylla vs. Fenris, I did it strictly alphabetically.)
Kibbitzing is welcome. Peanuts and popcorn are available in the lobby.
Am I supposed to fight for your Machiavellian amusement, Eutychus?
For your entertainment?
Don’t I have twice the Threadspottings of Fenris?
Am I not Supreme Leader?
What do I have to prove?
And more importantly, what’s in it for me?
Besides, Fenris is kind of a swell guy.
Have you considered the possibility that instead of jumping through your hoops we might come after you?
Yeah, but I’ve got you beat 13-3 in Teeming Extras. And threadspottings are transient things. The true prestige and glory for the ages lies in Euty’s wonderful Teeming Extras, with almost a 4-1 Ratio of Fenris to Scylla!

Sniff. That’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me!
Wandering in with my Dr. Pepper and Lorna Doones. This is my first SDMB death match, I think I’ll find a seat a little back from the ring in case things get sweaty or bloody. I get kinda queasy about stuff like that. Checking for my pocket pancho… yep it’s there.
Freyr wanders thru the stadium seating, calling out:
“Getchyr Programs! Getchyr Programs! Right here! Can’t tell the players without a program! All proceeds from this program go to buying the SDMB a new server!”
