THE SPIRITS WERE ALIVE AT QUALIFIER FIVE AS NEW FRIENDS REVISITED THE PAST. THE ENEMY HAD SPOKE, AND THE DIRECTOR AWOKE, TO A SLOGAN THAT WOULD SOON OUTLAST. FOR SEVERAL YEARS AGO, A MAN NAMED "BO" CHALLENGED MOTHER'S KIDS TO NO END. HIS FISH WERE LARGE, AS HE WAS IN CHARGE, AND THE DIRECTOR WAS ALSO A GOOD FRIEND. BUT MOST COULDNT BELIEVE, THE BAGS HE WOULD HEAVE AFTER NEARLY EACH EVENT. WHEN PUT INTO QUESTION, THERE WAS NO AGGRESSION, JUST A SMILE OF HIS SELF CONTENT. FROM THERE IT WAS BORN AND NOW WE MOURN, THE LIFE OF THIS GENTLE MAN. UNKNOWING TO ME, WOULD THIS BE, FROM WHERE IT ALL BEGAN. IF WE HAVE GAINED ONE THING, OUR SEASON NOW PAST ~ LEARN TO LOVE AND FORGIVE WHILE REMOVING OUR ENEMIES,

"SMILE... AND THINK BIG BASS" ~ SO THE STORY GOES...
