Macho enough

Or just plain and simple stupid enough?

Anyhow , it seems like some folks don't have enough excitement in their life. How about taking up martial arts for real instead of this crap? Guess they're too lazy for that, and have to put on this 'macho' image to prove something to themselves.

Story:
They may sport love handles and Ivy League pedigrees, but every two weeks some Silicon Valley techies become vicious street brawlers in a real-life underground fight club.

Kicking, punching and swinging every household object imaginable - from frying pans and tennis rackets to pillowcases stuffed with soda cans - they beat each other mercilessly in a garage in this bedroom community south of San Francisco.

"When you get beat down enough, it becomes a very un-macho thing," said Shiyin Siou, 34, a Santa Clara software engineer and three-year veteran of the clandestine fights. "But I don't need this to prove I'm macho - I'm macho enough as it is."
