Where else can you get front row seats at no charge to a chick fight where they tear each other's clothes off???

I remember almost every weekend the "fights" being announced word of mouth, just needed to know where to show up.

The first one I saw the girl that had her shirt & bra ripped off, sat there topless, not even trying to cover herself up, screaming for 5 minutes at her 'opponent'

That's when I thought to myself "I might end up liking this town"

I don't think Butte ever had trouble with the "water". It was the underground water main system that finally started rotting away so badly it contaminated the water.
I have a business associate who's never been in Butte, but was a U of Washington fraturnity brother with a couple of Butte guys who played football. Old time Butte Rats would recognize both names. He told me, with a look of bewildered admiration on his face, they used to go out looking for fights on the weekend, and if they couldn't find one they'd fight each other!
Wop Chops, Joes Pasty Shop (currently for sale), Gamers Pastys (uptown), the M&M, Sonny Holland, Jim Sweeney, Sonny Lubick.

I finished up student teaching over a year ago in Butte...it was great. I like Butte, and I could sure go for one of those Wop Chops right now.

There are a lot of things to like about Butte, and I did survive drinking the water.
