I’m sure we can all agree that when it comes to organized Easter activities for children, the first one that jumps to mind is American Gladiators-style jousting.
And so it was that Slim and Perpetual Motion had the opportunity this Easter to embody the oft-recited Biblical sentiment ”Love thy brother… even while attempting to take his head off with a wicked two-handed guillotine chop.”
Needless to say, the boys were pumped, the padded headgear crammed onto their heads barely able to contain the smiles on their squished faces. Pent-up sibling frustration was going to be released in a burst of aggression that was not only accepted by their parents, but encouraged.
Slim and P Motion were boosted up on to the bouncy, air-filled gladiator arena.
Each bent down and selected his implement of destruction, then ascended a pedestal.
They locked eyes, prepared to do battle.
Slim may have even snarled.
Somewhere Michael Buffer, choking down a deviled egg, said, “Letttttt’s get ready to rumbbbbllle!”
And it was on like Donkey Kong.
No, it’s not your computer. That video was playing at full speed.
Violent, huh?
Sort of makes you think of Don Quixote and windmills.
An intense stare down would have more potential to inflict bodily damage than Slim and P Motion wielding those huge padded Q-tips, and they’ve certainly done more harm to one another with wiffle ball bats and hard-plastic lightsabers.
It was fun.
I wish we’d had something like that back in the fifties. Life would have been much simpler. My brother and I just teed off and walloped each other; then we’d get walloped by our dad.
Last time I was at my parents’ house I saw a couple of old pairs of boxing gloves that I had when I was a kid. I should have grabbed them. KAW and I could have a blast with them.
“Don Quixote and windmills.”
I had held it together until then.
That is the bestest, most awesomest footage. Ever. I am still laughing.
Omigosh. I can’t even think of anything snarky. It’s just ridiculous funny. They must have been so pumped up about dueling. Meanwhile, they were practically standing still.
Beautiful.
Yeah, they though they were really big stuff when they were done.
I will always picture Michael Buffer eating deviled eggs from this moment on. Always. Great post.
Not a terrific visual now that I think about it, but memorable, I guess. Thanks.
It’s like Easter Fight Club! You should watch this video with Hair Metal blasting like I just did. We could have some serious fun recutting this methinks.
I’d like to do UFC type lead-ins where each of them is talking to the camera, talking about how the pain they’re going to inflict on the other. In a Charmin sort of way.
Oh, the brutality!
We’ve yet to staunch some of the bleeding.
This is the sweetest, funniest video ever…those are two brothers who really love each other!
Now I want a devilled egg or three…
Wendy
It did look like a well-padded lovefest.
Yeah, I’m hungry, too.
Awwwwesome.
Thanks. It’s not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure.
Awesome video! P Motion took several hits to the head. Did he get a concussion?
We’re still watching him to make sure there aren’t any post-concussion syndromes.
