I'm known as "The Microwaver"

Extreme Cage Fighting is coming to my area and being the one stop shopping place for ads on Truck and Tractor pulls, Country Concerts and the like, we are of course, publicizing the fight between a couple of guys who are tougher than I am.

In the world of Extreme Cage Fighting (I think the “fighting” is the thing that is extreme, not the cage…it’s a regular cage I suppose) you need a nickname like “Hitman” or “The Hammer” or “The Crippler.” Some of the names, like “The Axe Murderer” or “The Natural Born Killer” appear to cross the line of good taste, but it is Extreme Cage Fighting, not the Betty Crocker Cook-off.

However, a check of the Betty Crocker Cook-off yields some interesting pseudonyms also. This year “The Egg Separator” will face “The Lemon Zester” in one semifinal, while “The Whisker” will take on “Bearnaise Girl” in the other. This year’s semifinal is the first time in four years that “The Chopper” didn’t qualify for the final four. A bloodied finger in the quarterfinals doomed her chances of a three-peat.

But with a name like “The Chopper,” she may have other options.
