Brilliant, I think we can turn this into a spectator sport to raise
money for beer.

Can someone arrange for a snake/crocodile/sarlacc pit? I'll sort out
big foam-padded sticks and coloured shirts for the teams.

Even though the combatants, er, dabaters, will be fighting to the
death, it's always funny seeing people being bashed in the head with
big foam-padded objects.
  
Further contributions discussing the advisability of beating people up figuratively or literally are not required.
