Mus Mus Tail: Short, Sweet

Short, Sweet

Speaking of the ever-estimable East Side Boxing, we have an early candidate for story of the year. The story's of no importance, really, and a copy-editor could have punched the presentation up considerably, but the economy of expression in this short piece is really a marvel. Why do I love boxing? Because alone among sports, it willingly embraces its own rhetoric until there is no longer any distinction between the description and the thing-described.

We are breaking our one-graf rule here to promise that there will never, ever be another entry on this site as thick-monocled as the one you've just read. Thank you for your time.
