Okay, Clever Mark has figured out the connection between the sports complex and the Woodsman Olympics competition. But I don’t see how this plan would work (at least in the real world). A few hundred wood chopping fans is not going to sway the Las Vegas city council into thinking Tad Crass is worth the gamble. A bunch of sweaty guys playing with logs in a two-bit arena couldn’t possibly impress them. I get why this is a Mark Trail story, but the location is just wrong. It would a lot more sense if the story took place in some mid-sized city in Oklahoma or Idaho; a city looking to expand into the Big Leagues, so to speak.

Ah, but there I go again, being logical.

Will Mark’s testimony work? Well, considering these people came here for the chance to win a whopping big grand prize of only $5,000, I’m guessing they must be pretty desperate for the cash. Either that, or Jules Rivera made a mistake and just miswrote $5,000 instead of $50,000, and didn’t catch the mistake in time.

Finally, what does Mark want this crowd to do: Mob-rush Tad Crass and tar-and-feather him? Show up at the next City Council Meeting to tell their stories of being misled and mistreated?
