Full Bell-down

So YHC got the text yesterday that someone needed to step up and take the Q for Anchor.  Since there has been an “invasion” of PAX from Shawshank, I was pretty positive they had not had a true Anchor beat down, or “bell-down” (trademark pending).  And with the HC coming in hot last night, YHC …

Uncork The Merlot!

When it’s your turn to Q, you always find that extra gear to push the pax outside of their comfort zone. Legion always has that extra pressure to exceed the expectation of the pax. Word came late in the evening that JarJar was bringing in another FNG. We are not really sure what he does over at …
