Rumble in the Jungles

A consensual bloodbath is near.
Will Hialeah Polo owner Marko Serrano be our Henry VIII and kill Penguin owner, and current girl and friend, Christie Zavaleta if she does not bear him a win?
Or, will Zavaleta become a cruel mix of Chrisitine de Pizan and Simone de Beauvoir and restraint from fondling romps if she does not get the big W.
Truly, only observing the relevant historical context can we begin to understand the meaning of this fantasy football match.

Traditionally, significant others shy away from competing with one another. It's just not good for business. The love business, ooohhh yeaahhh. In our multicultural, tipsy-turvy society tradition is for the nerdos (in our case we don't have a lot of multicultural-ness going on, one is Jap other is Korean, to-ma-toe=to-ma-to.) Still, Mr. Serrano or as he prefers to be called in the streets, Hialeah Polo, is willing to shake up conventionality and beat the shit out of his women. In turn, if he loses, he risk being completely emasculated. Suddenly, he will be flipping channels on late-night TV and begin to really consider Extenze.
Ms. Zavaleta joins the million of women actively seeking a feminist agenda. What's more non-Barbie than beating your boyfriend at football? Not much, maybe just cutting his nuts off. And how will the dynamics of the relationship change if she sees him lose?
Hemmingway wrote a short story on showing fear and cowardice in front of a women in a hunting trip. Didn't end well for the fella. She slept with the hunting guide. And, she shot her husband. Who knows if something similar might happen or the exact consequences. But, nothing should be dismissed.

Next Up: A Look Back

1)Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton
--Yes, I know what you're thinking. "WTF." Little known fact is Hamilton and Burr were totally gay for each other. One of America's first unhealthy, violent relationships. But, they had such chemistry in the sack, I'll spare you the details. And boy did they set the bar high for unhealthy couples. For some reason, the bumpy linear passage of time (if you subscribe to such thought) has us believe Burr killed Hamilton in a duel because of political slander. That's plain wrong and kinda silly. Burr shot his lover because for not taking out the garbage as he had been told on several occasions....

2) Adam and Eve. A dare contest between lovers hat got all of us in a lot of trouble.

3) I don't know.
