For Your Consideration: The Ultimate Death Match by Erik Smetana

In lieu of my usual nonsensical, writerly ramblings this week's +HL+ Blog-O-Rama post is being replaced by a very serious question...

Imagine a caged octagon.

Now picture some of the fiercest, most dangerous beasts to ever roam the Earth confined inside, ready to rumble until there can be only one a la The Highlander. The contestants are (in no particular order, although some are obviously more awesome than others):

1) a zombie
2) a unicorn
3) a ninja
4) a shark (whether it is a robot shark or not is left up to you)
5) a crusty pirate
6) a bear (something vicious, possibly with magic powers, not one of those caring kind)
7) your choice of any or all of the Universal Monsters.

The big question is who comes out on top? Sound off in the comments or drop me a note.

Erik, you should know the answer to this - we've discussed it before. Part of the ninja's job description is "To be a ninja, no one must defeat you." Therefore, if said ninja was defeated in the aforementioned octagon, he would not technically have been a ninja in the first place.

Ninja. Shuriken down. - Wallis

You have lost your mind...and I love it!

I vote Unicorn! For no good reason other than I dig that groovy magic horn. ;-)

Now, shall we open up the same octagon to a gaggle of famous writers?
