The Out of Bounds Cagematch - Semi Finals
Last week, Fart Clown Glasses invoked a lot of underhanded methods to take the final spot in the OoB Semi Final round. This week Out of Bounds heads into the final countdown with a face off between The Bridgeport Correctional Facility Short Form Players (prison ladies fresh from Dallas demonstrate their gameplay) vs. One Too (the lovely Valerie Ward). Competing for the final spot in the Out of Bounds Festival Cagematch semi-finals, these two teams present 22 minutes of their best work to be voted on by the audience. Two teams enter! One team goes the way of Joe "the Losah" Lieberman (lame-ass defection aside). Can you feel the noise?!
