And so it was, "Freight Train" and Mark "Just Lookout" Stevens, mano a mano, warrior against warrior, brother against brother….well from different mothers….and fathers. Since the moment they had met on a crochet course, they knew this day would come. One would go home a winner, and the other with collapse into a gelatinous blob of failure. The men exchanged a valiant handshake, and proving the stuff they were made of, filled their glasses, not to the quarter mark, but to the very brim…whoever was walking away from the table alive, was at least going to stagger.
Sir "You doing a heck of a job" Brownie and his fellow knights ruled the day. The Government's champions could not deal with the raw animal power of their opponents. And at the very end, Mark "Just Lookout" Stevens saw his team's victory in sight, he caught the sad wretched agony of defeat in his friend's eyes. Would Mark "Just Lookout" Stevens be moved to pity for the "Freight Train", could he really let his friend go gently into that long goodnight? Mark "Just Lookout" Stevens chugged his beer and flipped his cup…yes he could! Yes he could!
Sir "You doing a heck of a job" Brownie was ebullient. He turned to Mark "Just Lookout" Stevens and asked for a chest bump. Mark "Just Lookout" Stevens hesitated, he knew Sir "You doing a heck of a job" Brownie would have trouble absorbing the blow, but he also knew that Sir "You doing a heck of a job" Brownie commands were on violated only upon penalty of death. Not wanted to be hung, drawn and quartered, Mark "Just Lookout" Stevens complied, but eased up at the end. After the next victory, Sir "You doing a heck of a job" Brownie asked for another chest bump. This time Mark "Just Lookout" Stevens thought "I don't wanna do this shit all night." And so he flung himself full force into Sir "You doing a heck of a job" Brownie. Sir "You doing a heck of a job" Brownie sailed through the air, and didn't ask for another…he had realized that just like Mongo, there are some forces of nature man doesn't trifle with.
