A Series of Tubes: A Star is Born
A Series of Tubes opened to rave reviews. Most of the cheerers-on weren’t even from Hersey. Our first match was on Friday against “The Brick”, 120 lbs of thick steel on a chassis about the size of two large laptops stacked upon each other. For armament, it had only had large thick steel curving spikes on its front and its own speed and durability, hoping to carry or push opponents to the hammers. A Series of Tubes came up to the little runt, shoved his arm under, and flipped the little guy on his back. He could still drive upside down, but, naturally, he was harder to steer. This little cat-and-mouse game continued for a couple of minutes with Tubes flipping Brick again and again. About halfway through, Brick managed to stab one of its spikes into Tubes’ tires. Tubes tried to back up but with Brick holding the wheel still, Tubes only flipped himself over on his back. After waiting the appropriate moment to instill false hope in the other team and despair in all of Tubes’ followers, Ian hit the switch and engaged the arm, flipping Tubes right-side-up again. The crowd went nuts. Tubes kept flipping The Brick again and again. Eventually the match came down to a judges’ decision. Tubes won. We are entertained.
