That Bird Don’t Fly

YHC didn’t even realize until he saw the “Detention 2-Year Anniversary” a few lines down in the Q-Sheet that we’d been around the sun again!  So, figured we’d make it an Anniversary Q.  Grateful every day from the bottom of my heart for this group of misfits that was set in motion two years ago. …

Another stupid idea

15 Pax defied cantores and posted to Shawshank despite the sub-freezing temperatures. The difference in warmth of the fartsack in comparison to the AO was a good 50 degrees depending on the amount of methane present in said sack. These are the mornings that #warstories are made for. To top it off YHC had a …

Grow The Thang

YHC got up this morning to trade the warmth and falsehoods of the fartsack for the cold of the honest gloom.  He desired to meet more men that have taken the DRP.  More than usual the Q-drenaline level had peaked due to the priviledge of Q’ing the fresh PAX of F3 Saluda and meeting these …

Keep it Simple, Stupid

After seeing Welcome Week’s email about Qing just before kickoff of the Natty Championship, with nothing planned and little imagination, YHC decided to steal one of Cesspool’s thoroughly planned out workouts from a while back.  It’s also simple-minded since there was presumably a lack of sleep among the pax w/ the late game finish. The …

WOW for 1/1 – 1/7
