Baboon wins it in five.

Reason: because. baboons always win it in five. that's how long it takes to rip the face off the contender. the contender, if they don't die immediately, will wrap themselves up in the corner, fetal position, and weep like a baby...because they are mourning the loss of their face.

what they don't realize is that the baboon will throw said face back at their bare skull...once it comes out the other end.

Kevin, I appreciate your well-thought-out answer.

I also mourn for the rest of AW, because you have made it nigh on impossible to follow up such reasoning with anything other than a "Hurrah!"

i'm the number one expert in the field of baboon-fighting research. i've interviewed several baboons and not a small amount of faceless people.
