    Warning: Do not eat canned tuna

    This release was found on the newswire from June:

    A batch of tuna fish imported from Thailand has intercept by Zhongshan Inspection and Quarantine Bureau for containing cadmium 5 times above the safety standard.This batch of tuna fish will be destroyed according to related regulations. Cadmium is said to be one of the most nocuous elements to human health, which may lead to toxicosis or even death.

    Incidentally, the latest sample of materials for the Worth bag line arrived into our offices in late June as well.....

    Back to today's matchup.

    Scott "Tuna" Siebers arrived early and straightened up his office - making a nice spot available to hang his UFC title belt. He closed his office door, did a few push ups to get the blood flowing, and downed a glass of pure whey protein mixed with water, walked out to the parking lot, and waited.

    Travis "British Bulldog" Gessley pulled into the office parking lot. As he extended his ladder to climb out of his truck, he did not see the nimble Siebers awaiting him. As he stepped down, Siebers extended out his Fusion bat (which he had conveniently compacted for hiding purposes) and delivered a pelt that returned 29% more energy into Gessley than it would have had he used a slab of titanium.

    Wow. 1-0 Siebers.

    Gessley recovered, reached into his bag, and handed a nice new can of tuna to Siebers. Siebers dropped everything and began to devour the tuna. That was the only opening the British Bulldog would need, as he unleashed a snarl, followed by a rapid succession of flailing appendages - several of which came extremely close to connecting with Siebers. The Mayhem that resulted lifted Gessley to a 5-2 lead, as the two now tangled near the trail that runs outside our offices.

    That's when the matchup changed. Into the scene came Seth "Purple Nurple" Elrod - who was out for his daily run. The last words Siebers or Gessley would hear for a few minutes were "don't worry Robert, I'll clear the path". Several Brooks-branded kicks to the head later, the jogging path was clear and the battle was delayed.

    Gessley was the first to come to. He stood up, surveyed the scene and his still groggy opponent. He began to yell as he sprinted away, and climbed to the top of his truck. He stood on top, some 30 feet in the air, raising his arms while Siebers looked up shaking his head "NO. NO." Too late, the flying British Bulldog delivered a flying tsunami onto Siebers, ending the match.

    Gessley wins 12-2-1 over Siebers and Elrod. He advances to the Product Kings Regional Final, next Monday versus Ron "Foot of Fury" Kappauff.

    Today's matchup moves us to the Live Action region for the highly anticipated contest of:

    #8 Kate "El Conquistador" Ranzini versus #12 Jim "Silent Assassin" (or "Silent but Deadly") O'Connor.
