Backblast! FYF: The Red Rocket Chronicles
- When
- Tuesday, September 23, 2025
- AO
- Currahee
- Q
- darkhelmet
- PAX
- 9 darkhelmet, 3D, Decibel, Falcon Crest Ryan_F, Fishstix, Gary Fike, Italian Job, Mainframe, Mark Nestel, Ruby Slippers
9 (or maybe 10 and I can't remember who the 10th was) found a safe space while Mark Nestel's dog microaggressed a bunch of them with his red Rocket at Currahee...
- Ruby Slippers flew in 10 minutes early to be 5 minutes late
- Falcon Crest was hoodwinked early in his rucking career by Mainframe into buying a 45# plate, which is something he is sure he'll eventually be grateful for
- 3D's GTE prep continues, but he doesn't mind if it doesn't include any more Crawl Bears
- Italian Job only sang 3 90's hits, which is indicative of how tired he must be from his weekend in Wichita
- For a hearing doctor, Decibel claimed a lot of "unable to hear" for his lack of compliance with instructions
- fishstix taught us his award winning atomic wedgie techniques to be employed at a later time. Probably when you aren't looking.
