| The IMC 2001 Doubles Champions Brandon and Alan mocking the loss of Mike & Nathan. |
People Work together, kind of.
By Ben LasherThe 3rd event of the year was the 2nd IMC Doubles tournament. The Alan-Brandon team took the title while the Mike-Nathan team took second. Mike-Nathan team lead most of the match but the street hurt Nathan's chances.This helped Nathan earn the title "Street Walker" for the day. While they were losing turns, it allowed Brandon and Alan to steal the victory.
Brandon Lasher had just come of a huge victory at Mike's course earlier that day, hence helping him sweep the day. Alan had taken second at Mike's tourney also, some grumbled of unfairness in the team picking. "Oh, sure they won, why not, they won the last one also. They were on today, there was nothing we could do,"commented Ben.
The Ben-Ricky team took a clear third over a disappointed Steve-William team. Happy Cinco De Mayo to all! This seems especially true for doubleheader winner Brandon.

| The groom, Steven Manning Unfred. |
By Ben Lasher
On April 1, 2001, Steve Manning Unfred wed a Meatball sandwich after a dare. Brandon told Steve, " If you like Blimpie's sandwiches so much, why don't you marry it?"
So Steve did.
"I'm the happiest sandwich ever," said Steve's new wife, if she could talk.
The civil union occured in Vermont, where you can marry just about anything. While no record of previous man/lunch food union has been previously recorded, the local court was glad to do it."I'm just glad that they found each other," Judge Made-up commented, "It's hard to meet someone you can really care about."
Sadly, Steve's wife disappeared April 3rd, leaving only crumbs behind in Steve's bed one night. Police have yet to discover a cause."We don't believe any foul play was involved, she may have left town, or fell behind a bookshelf," said Detective Also Not Real, "All we know is Steve and his wife where together that night, and when Steve awoke she was gone."
Some people are more cynical. Alan Manka said, "He ate her! I can see it on his face! I hope they put him away for a long time!"
Steve has recently been engaged to a Turkey Sub he meet at Subway. Let's hope he'll find happiness with this new love.
