The marble king is ready for more. Naturally he laid that trick on us, and us being kids we were mesmerized by it. That was his trick to get you to come back. A few years before he died Walker broke his arm in a car accident, rendering him unable to play marbles the rest of his life. We'll get a slaw burger, fries and a bottle of Ski.
