Jane Austen’s Fight Club for Ladies Who Love to Bash

Adventures in living a healthy, juicy life
by Cheryl Ragsdale

Thank you to Popwatch and Keith Staskiewicz for posting this mad funny video and an interview with the video’s creator, Emily Janice Card.

“Last year I was just joking around with a friend of mine and we were listing those iconic rules of Fight Club,” remembers Card, who also stars in the video as Mansfield Park’s Fanny. And I started doing it in the voice of a proper, well-bred young English lady.

I didn’t know exactly what to do with it, but it stayed in the back of my mind, and then over the course of the year, I came up with other things that might be funny in Jane Austen’s world, like…

‘Why don’t you hit me as hard as you can at the Regency Ball?’”

Tyler Durden: “Welcome to Fight Club. The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: you DO NOT talk about Fight Club! Third rule of Fight Club: if someone yells “stop!”, goes limp, or taps out, the fight is over. Fourth rule: only two guys to a fight. Fifth rule: one fight at a time, fellas. Sixth rule: the fights are bare knuckle. No shirt, no shoes, no weapons. Seventh rule: fights will go on as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Fight Club, you have to fight.” (source)
