Thanks to Brendan Karet and Dave Weigel, the Deadspin staff has spent the last half hour or so watching this video of a husky man in business casual wailing away on some meat, and then following the Youtube rabbit hole down to, uh, more videos of What If Game Of Thrones But Middle Management?

Whacking apples out of midair with my button-down shirt tucked into my slacks? Me.

Shopping at XXL Bean, then wincing and jiggling when I make contact? Me.

Going samurai on a melon while dressed as an umpire? Oh yeah, me.

Throwing a stick at a bullseye and not hitting it and then posting the footage anyway for some reason? Me me me.

I much prefer Sword Guys to Gun Guys, and not just just because I can really identify with them. When I was a kid I had a wooden sword from a ren faire and it was my favorite toy for probably a year.
