The United States of America, as a nation, is perhaps the most charitable in the history of the world. Despite its flaws, the philanthropy that flows from our country is unmatched. Our country is full of folks just itching to pitch in and do their part to help their fellow man. We also love mud wrestling. Thursday, at Surreal Ultra Lounge in Tacoma, the club is promising "a sexy night and an amazing cause!" And, yes, what they're talking about is chicks wrestling in mud to raise money for the leukemia. DJ Pedro will provide the jams - surely a gig he's dreamed about since childhood.

PREDICTION: Is it too risky to presume a boob's gonna pop out? Seems like, surely, at least one rogue boob's gonna pop out. Just sayin'.
