Cobains for any PAX reading this if it comes across similar to other BackBlasts of the past, but unfortunately Police Officers continue to lose their lives way too often while doing what they were sworn in to do….preserve human life.

YHC was sitting at Kraft Draft a couple of weeks ago when some fellas from BeechHouse showed up for a few. One thing led to another, and I found myself on the Q sheet. The one thing Home Brew failed to mention when he signed me up…it’s Spring Freakin’ Break week and most of the …
YHC was invited to grab Q spot for Trivia Month at CAT. The Masters is fresh on the mind so we continued simulating ANGC. We played holes 11-15 which, of course, includes the infamous Amen Corner. Not naming names but MacGruber, Mercy Rule, and Freon don’t know diddly about The Masters. We did a lot …

Golf is normally a respectful, quiet sport. The patrons this AM at Urban Legend were especially loud and disrespectful. YHC’s only ask is if you’re going to mumblechatter, at least be funny. Nonetheless, we had a good time this AM and got some work in. Augusta National is a very hilly course so we spent …
Those that know me know that The Masters is my favorite sporting event of the year. In a ‘tradition unlike any other’, this is YHC’s annual Masters workout. Part 2 is Thursday at Graveyard.

YHC is sure that this title will conjure up a “That’s What She Said” comment in the heads of the less mature among us. Not YHC, just some others out there. That’s okay, we want this thing of ours to be fun. However, having fun, laughing, mumble chatter, and busting each other’s chops must …
April is typically known as trivia month at CAT. The Qs are encouraged to bring some type of trivia or game or whatever to work your brain as much as your body. You find out fast that, like your body, your brain is still asleep at 5 o’clock in the morning – which just adds …
YHC hasn’t Q’d at Bounty in a while, so it was great to lead these fine men today. Rook was recruited to post today by Stalker who incidentally did not even post himself. We are thankful for some fresh faces either way. Good stuff today, looking forward to next time. Here’s how it went: Conditions: …
After a week of brutality at Surge administered by our faithful Nantan and then by MacGruber only two days later, YHC felt inspired to keep the pain coming. With a little bit of this and a little bit of that and a sprinkle of March Madness, 6 HIM took to the gloom at Surge and …
