I had a Butter Rum flavored Life Saver today and it made me think about whether a Butter Tea could be popular among fans of Himalayan mountain climbing. Pop one of these onto your tongue and you can experience the Everest Base Camp sensation, especially if you refrain from breathing.

Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the BCS trophy
Sooners! (Or possibly Cowboys of OK State or some such.) Perhaps I was the last to know.
Thor did indeed rebuild Asgard, in Oklahoma, and he embarked on a quest to liberate his fellow Asgardians who were trapped in mortal shells.And here I thought a guy named Thor Odinson be up with his people among the fans of the Golden Gophers (though admittedly, the Marvel canon has been relatively silent on the latter). Stereotypes are so ugly and destructive, and do not ultimately account for the power of the great nemeses such as the Crimson Tide.

Hoss-fightin' hosses and such
Role-playing game handle: Horse de combat

While the illegal sports of dogfighting and cockfighting are better known, the blood sport of horsefighting is also practiced in some parts of the Far East, despite a fair amount of outcry.
Combat by proxy is not limited to vertebrate species. There are enthusiasts of fighting crickets in China
Perhaps one could redirect this interest to virtual depictions of blood sports in the context of video games, so that actual animals would not suffer. There is already a series of Alien vs. Predator games which one could consider to be a variation on this idea, albeit one that is a little easier to market.
