farewell cccp-us, we hardly knew ye

You might as well stand up, adventure lovers, 'cause you'll no doubt be jumping out of your seats in shock when you hear this: I, The Haiku Master, do hereby regretfully announce the dissolution of the Confederation of Championship Cockfighting Professionals - United States!

End Of A Dream: Goodbye, CCCP-US

Despite the difficulties encountered by CCCP-US Commissioner Paulo and myself upon our first attempted expansion beyond the cockfighting-friendly states of Louisiana and New Mexico, we remained committed to our dream. Unfortunately, the grim realities of this thin, cruel world have made it financially and legally unfeasible for us to continue.

I mean, just look at all the cockfighting busts over the past week:

• 13 Cockfighters Arrested In Arizona

• 6 Cockfighters Arrested In Georgia

• 3 Cockfighters Arrested In California

• Cockfighter Arrested In New York

• Cock Raising Ban Considered In South Carolina

Clearly, cockfighting is something our society just isn't ready for. Much like gay marriage. So, rather than risk any further legal action against Paulo or myself, I'm getting out while the getting's good.

Oh, and those of you still holding CCCP-US season tickets? They are firmly non-refundable. Sorry about that.

Best,
