Heh. In planning for Night on the Towne 2, I was asked to permit mud 
wrestling. The lady who made this request claimed to have documentation 
that this was a period activity at Elizabethan fairs, which was the focus 
of the event. I refused to allow mud wrestling on the grounds that the 
site would not support it.

As it happened, we _ALL_ did Elizabethan Mud Wrestling before the event was 
over, but who could have known? Isenfiri were resodding the site most of 
the next day....
