Was it one of the worst ass kickings in Kansas City history?

For the most part, I'm proud of our little Internet community in Kansas City except for those douchebags at MK-12 . . . Anyway, here in KC there is a very low key vibe that's more about accomplishment than the insane speculation that exists on both coasts.

I don't know if Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka counts as somebody from KC since he's out in Lee's Summit but I'm drawing that loose connection in order to link today's top story from Wired that reports the embarrassing details of the head honcho from Something Awful getting his ass kicked.

But he's back up in a flash and taking another trip around the ring before Boll surges forward with a left to the body, then a right to the head. The webmaster crashes faster than an overloaded server. "You hit me in the face!" he says, glaring up at Boll. He climbs to his feet and prolongs the match by yo-yoing to his knees whenever the eager director threatens to take another crack at him. But Boll catches him off guard and hammers him with three solid punches. Kyanka sinks to the mat and stays there as the ref counts to 10. The fight is over in less than two minutes.

It only gets worse from there with even more whining from Lowtax about how he doesn't know how to fight (not getting punched in the face is a good start) and more classic complaining like what happens to your average suburbanite when they get served.

Yeah, the more I think about it, the guy isn't representative of this town at all. If he was really from KC . . . He would have brought a gun.
