* Referenced in ''Literature/GoingPostal'' when the protagonist visits [[BadGuyBar the Mended Drum]], which sees a BarBrawl happen so often it's become a professional sport. One team is overheard discussing strategy, and the leader mentions a move where a fighter steps in between two opponents [[ChairmanOfTheBrawl while wielding a chair]] and disposes of the one behind with the backswing before bringing the chair down over the head of the opponent in front. It's worth six points.

Ölvir swings his battle-axe over his head so that "the foremost point of the axe-blade struck the one that was behind him under the throat so that it cut his jaw and windpipe in two, and he fell over backwards". Then [Ölvir] swings the axe forwards at the man standing in front of him and "strikes [him] on the head and split him down to the shoulders." Ultimately Ölvir is severely wounded but kills six of the attackers, with two running away.
