Pillow fighting goes professional

THEY are not allowed to scratch, gouge or pull each other's hair, but the women fighters of North America's newest professional sport wield a potentially punishing weapon: a standard, fibre-filled bed pillow.

Hundreds of New Yorkers queued on Friday night for the US debut of the Pillow-Fight League, a Canadian invention that sounds like a male fantasy but is threatening to become a popular sport for women who enjoy behaving badly.

"We beat the crap out of each other and we're giggling at the end," declared Katrina Randell, a Canadian model whose pillow-fighting nom de plume is Sally Spitfire. "It's not just a bunch of sexy girls in lingerie - get ready, you're going to get walloped."

From its beginnings in a Canadian nightclub last year, the PFL (slogan: "Fight like a girl") has suddenly turned into a cult attraction with 22 fighting members, an official (male) referee and a list of rules that forbid punching, low blows and "rude, lewd or suggestive behaviour".

It is also an offence to stuff a brick in a pillow.

8. Man, I used to be good at that sort of thing...

Of course, my version of a "pillow fight" was at the Scarborough Faire renfest in Maypearl, TX. You sat cross-legged on a fallen tree trunk, steadied yourself with one hand, and used the other hand to swing an overstuffed sack at your cross-legged opponent, hoping to knock him or her off the trunk.

God, that was fun.

14. Dear sweet Lord, why don't these idiots read a book, do

something to improve their minds, instead of validating the idea that human beings are devolving.
