Imagine what it would bring in on pay-per-view, with all Russians required to watch or be conscripted/

Heh. No disagreement there. But it makes me think of the Billy Jean King and Bobby Riggs match. I'm not sure which one is Putin or Musk; I'll let others decide that. But it is an action with no seeming logic behind it.

publicity? Or perhaps just sort of messing around. He seems to do the just messing around quite a lot.

In any event, he had better hope that Vladimir does not accept; unless Bladimir’s health is much worse than it has been light on, or In any event, he had better hope that Vladimir does not accept; unless Vladimir’s health is much worse than has been let on, and/or Musk has quite a lot of training that I’ve never heard about. Putin is supposedly an expert in both judo and “combat sambo”.

Elon is a master shitposter. Most people can't tell if he's joking or not. IMO this is a joke.

Perhaps that should be a job title that goes on business cards: "Professional shitposter." As for Elon, you might be right. The lack of details about any match are missing, which suggests sarcasm. But these days, you never know......

So the Metropolitan Opera is having a concert for Ukraine.

What, are they going to sing opera to Putin until he pulls out of Ukraine?////////////////

Oh, they could go through the entire Wagner series and say he can't push in any more troops or supplies until the music is done.

There's an "It ain't over until the fat lady sings" joke in there somewhere.

The last piece (on now) is the final movement of the glorious 9th Symphony of Ludwig Van Beethoven. Bliss and heaven,. Hear angel trumpets and devil trombones.

Sorry, Buzz, but I have to rate Beethoven's 9th Symphony as better than any of the music of the 20th century.
