Yeah, and it keeps the boys/men busy; they all like to watch!

Ladies don't wrestle. Not even for peace.

Non-wrestling ladies aren't ladies.

How about Brussels to start the event world wide ?

Tess & cheese fondue

I said, first things first. I didn't say: we will never meet.
After the Mud Wrestling for Peace event we will meet. Trust me. And remember, there is always the cheede fondue dinner in or near Montreux. You were one of the winners of this contest weren't you?

Sorry Tess

Johannes informed me that you were not one of the winners of the contest: who said or wrote "'Be killing sin or sin will be killing you."?

Strange. A minute ago I had a psychic vision of a man covered with cheese fondue, his spectacles knocked off by a fierce woman. Now the vision disappeared.

Arnon, is this what you wanted? Now nobody is going to organize this female wrestling thing. Everybody here wants you to keep on writing more novels!

Some voice in my head is repeating: 'How will Arnon make up with Tess? ' It's like a soap. But maybe you'll both forget about it and go on acting like you're used to. As in real life.

those first words do not make any sense. i read it too hasted. i apologize for that.

Mud wrestlers of the world unite

The first one has sent me an e-mail to ask what she can do for the Mud Wrestling for Peace.
This is your chance, please contact me (johannes@arnongrunberg.com), that is if you take peace seriously. We do not only need female wrestlers, but of course a referee (Ron Lander?). Transvestites are also welcome.
The design of posters, flyers, flags, stickers etc. is already taking care of.

Check out Bambi and Thumper:

Please note that Bambi and Thumper are hedonists, we are idealists. Anyway, we need that little swimming pool.

Johannes, I volunteer for referee. I am usually quite biased and don't know a thing about mudwrestling. Is that a problem? Nice idea to allow drag queens: some of them are great fighters (but they will not necessarily be happy about the mudpart).

Freestyle wrestling

Ron, freestyle is the the wrestling style used for international competition in women's wrestling, not the Greco-Roman.

'In freestyle wrestling, a team of three referees is used. The referee controls the action in the center, blowing the whistle to start and stop the action. The judge sits at the side of the mat. The mat chairman sits at the scoring table and keeps time. To award points, assess penalties, or call a pin, two of the three officials must agree.'

So we still need a judge and mat chairman. Any ladies perhaps?

Please check for scoring: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freestyle_wrestling

Lin B

Tess as the more frequent visitors of this site will know is a healthy she-male in her (or his) early sixties.
She is very well capable of taking care of herself. She doesn’t need your defense. Actually she takes it as an insult when others come to her defense.
If you are interested in becoming part of the international movement of female mud wrestlers for peace, don't be shy about it.
Just answer these three questions:
1. What is your background? (African-American, Asian etcetera.)
2. Who is Andy Kaufman?
3. Where is Andy Kaufman?

@linb: not to worry, it seems there's hope for me yet and Arnon has not denied me my coffee-moment with him. At which stage he'll find out what tiny issue stands in the way of me joining cheese-fondue competitions and organizing mass mud wrestling events. So: all in due time. And I can then also finally prove to him that I am not a 60 year old man but -let me put it this way- a writer's living fantasy. With brains. Goodnight all, lovely night in Amsterdam. Over and out.

I think I've seen a picture of you, Tess, and I believe I do can say you're a writer's fantasy.
