What do Michael Vick and This Author Have In Common??? (And no, it's not the whole "Ron Mexico" thing)

Here, I have paired my 11-week old trained killer Maci against some neigherbood sacrificial lamb whose name I can't recall. All I know is Maci went off at 12-1 due to her lack of size and rumors of an unsatisfactory homelife, and Lauren and I took advantage of the long odds and cleaned up after laying $500 on our pup.

It was an even match until the third round, when Maci used a time-honored Nitti family technique to snatch the victory. After an innocuous nip to the ankle, Maci began to whimper uncontrollably until her foe turned away in disgust. Then it was time to kick some back...
