Could They Beat-Up China Mieville?

Well, could you?

His bare head would make a tempting paintball target in a conflict and the result perhaps an art statement.

Funny, but I fear that website might cause Mieville's ego to become bloated beyond its (from what I hear) already monstrous proportions.

Thus Mieville goes down to defeat:

Mieville versus the "Could They Beat-Up China Mieville?" website:

Mieville: "Cool website! I'm the man! Wait, what happenning to my head? It's swelling.... swelling... SWELLING! Dear God, make it stop! Make it --" BOOM!

Nothing remained but some bloody bits of skull dripping down the walls...

If his opponent doesn't have to be actually currently living, I'd nominate
Abraham Lincoln - in a pit, with a broadsword.

If the opponent has to currently alive, well, then, my money would be on Bruce Schneier.

#3 You just have to love bloody bits of skull dripping down the walls. Don't forget the gobbets of brain.

Carnophile, is your taste for blood and braaiins imagery the origin of your user name? :-)

AsYouKnow_Bob,

Very cute.

Braaaiiiiiiiiiiins! I wonder if the Mieville vs. Tarantino bout suggested that to me - remember the discussion about cleaning up bits of skull in Pulp Fiction?

Actually, Carnophilia was on a list of potential band names I thought up when I was younger. I liked how the idea of "loving flesh" could be interpreted as violent or sexual - the ultimate media play! (Or maybe it's just a guy who likes a good cheseburger.) Once I exited the "start a band" phase of life I thought I'd get some use out of the idea on LT.

Ha ha. Pretty funny. China is just a swell guy with a head to match!

I'd bet on Strunk & White taking him down. :)

Chuck Norris could take down Mieville.
