John Y’s Musings from the Middle: Pinch Club

Fight Club. Did it inspire you…but seem just a tad too much?

Now there may be a new option.

Pinch Club.

That’s right. Sort of like Fight Club but from the Ladies Tees.

I was fascinated by the movie Fight Club which I saw for the first time about 2 years ago. No doubt many males can fall into a consumer-culture corporatized and commoditized ennui that leaves them needing something deeper and… more primitive to bring meaning to their lives.

Fighting–the punching with fists kind– would seem the natural dramatic first choice. But what it yours is a milder case? Or you are less disposed to physical violence? The option of a Pinch Club seems to accomplish the same end without all the messy and needlessly painful excesses.

Men meet late at night at an agreed upon place.

And pinch each other.

Incessantly.

Until they feel like men again.

And khaki pants are allowed.
