Life in the Upper Midwest

Cause and Effect
by Brady Lewis

This installation of LUM comes to us courtesy of about a year ago.  These videos were intended to be a part of a failed event.  I'll help set the stage for you.

Back in the days when I was working fast food, Jordan and I got into a friendly shouting match about the NHL.  I am not a hockey fan at all.  He, on the other hand, is quite the hockey fan.  I was making fun of the NHL for going on strike, and how it would die, and then maybe a worthy sporting league would come in its place, like say Cricket.  He did not like this, and so he challenged me to a fight. 

We weren't serious, of course.  Then it came to me that maybe we should have a fight, and record it as a new event for this website.  We would have an amateur wrestling match, despite the fact that neither of us has any wrestling experience. 

In order to set up the fight for the site, I went to Alex and told him to get Jordan to tape a prefight interview type deal, where Alex would ask his strategy for the fight and his thoughts on what I might do, that sort of thing.  What Jordan didn't know was my true plans....

The other one in the video was a co-worker of ours, known as Nelson.  Well, Jordan decided to take some revenge on Nelson for his involvement in this. 

Video 2:  Jordan's Revenge

It should be noted that when he found Nelson's car, it was in a parking lot at a bar.  This means that, with the stuff we did to his car, he could have been pulled over by police, driving home late at night FROM THE BAR.  Smart move.

Anyway, this lead to Nelson wanting his own revenge.  Revenge that he got later that night....

And yes, to answer the question that has no doubt been burning in your mind since the beginning, we did film the fight between myself and Jordan.  Someday I might load it up here, but the world just isn't ready for that right now.  Let's just say that there is a reason that the fight isn't here, but all this stuff made it.
