Computer Nerd Fight Clubs?

It would seem that there are actual fight clubs for tech professionals springing up all over the place. No, I’m not kidding. Quit laughing. I’m serious. Don’t make me challenge you at next week’s fight club. You can thank Jay Gosson for the linkage on this one.

They may sport love handles and Ivy League degrees, but every two weeks, some Silicon Valley techies turn into vicious street brawlers in a real-life, underground fight club. Then, bloodied and bruised, they limp back to their desks in the morning.

All joking aside, I like how some “expert” slips in the ol’ blame it on video games, cartoons and movies schtick. Lame. Hell, some of us nerd types look like we invented fight club.
