I'm not sure that changes my answer but it certainly puts it in a different context.
You must fight a random person to the death…

Good call. I was going with a 5 hour audio recording of the No Pic blathering on about who knows what.
Good reasoning.
Whereas I'm old and fat. Unless down pillows are included among "melee weapons" I should probably start packing.
You do realize your opponent has the same weapon, right?
Excellent answer. I have a pair of cups with the see through bottoms because of this movie. Lol
Start showing that shit to the Guantanamo detainees and we will know everything we need to know to topple terrorism by lunch time....
I'm going with a 6 foot aluminum step ladder. Can be used rather effectively defensively and when the door opens to wield it offensively, one smash swinging it around in a helicopter motion and the other guys done.
We actually discussed this in depth one time at a job site when someone used the phrase 'sounds like someone brought a ladder to a hammer fight.'.
My first notion is to go with an epee or a rapier because I actually have fencing experience and I was at the top of my class back in those days. I think it's a safe assumption my random opponent would have zero experience in using those weapons and I'm confident my long reach would be measurably better than 95%+ of the opponents, best to use your physical advantages to their maximum potential.
Barring those weapons, I'd go with a lance, again using my physical advantage of a longer reach to put the odds more in my favor.

This is why I am sticking with a plastic wiffle ball bat for my opponent.
Oh he'd win for sure. I only took a few classes and did a few bouts.
Enough to sort of get an idea of how a fight like that would actually work, but certainly not likely to beat someone well practiced at it.
I know the footwork and enough to know that sword fights don't look like they do in movies.
fencing epee can't really stab people though...they bend. you're best bet would be either lashing them with it or choking them
Something non lethal. I'm good with using the limbs I have to propell me to victory. I give myself very good odds winning hand to hand combat in OPs scenario, I'm not gonna lesson this odds by giving my opponent a weapon.
Spencer Petra's foot. Doubt my opponent could handle getting hit in the face with cement repeatedly
That would be a quick fight as I smash the back of my skull.
My sharpened garden spade which resides in my bedroom closet. The fight would be over before my foe could say "WTF?????"
He may be outside of my acceptable opponents age range (I'm 61). Give me an old geezer, thank you very much.
For starting an entertaining thread that is not political? I would say I’m HROTing correctly.
Yeah I'm 41, so thankfully you wouldn't be in my pool of random opponents.
My luck I would get some 5'2" - 100 pound woman who won an olympic gold medal in fencing. So I'd end up losing a fight that I would have easily won if I would have just gone with fisticuffs.
Stick to your strengths. As an ex baseball player I'd like to think a bat would play well for me.
Interestingly, in my first fencing class, the best competition I consistently faced was a Korean woman who was about that size. She was very quick, agile and had some experience in the sport prior to the class. She bested me a few times for sure and I learned a lot sparring with her.
Relatively speaking I would probably do well fighting someone much smaller than me, especially a woman with fists.
This is where my head was at. I'm 6'4" 252 lbs. I'm not claiming that I'm in great shape, but certainly better than average if a trip to WalMart is any indicator.
I'm thinking my mutual weapon of choice should be $100,000,000.00 in cash.
We're all going to Sizzler after I butcher this lady!
if it's someone my own size, bare hands all the way. If I'm out weighed I gotta say track shoes. I'm outta there, or I run them to death.
