For a moderate, this was kinda rough
I'm not sure when I have Q'd that I can recall being wiped out. Today was pretty rough. Good but rough. I think it was just rough enough for Shady and Pusher to keep them interested. We left ChickFilA and went toward…

Burpee Broad Jumps for EVERYONE!!!
7 was the number at Pantheon, sans the SiteQ (whom YHC still needs to give some P200 hardware). Seems everyone posting for a good beatdown got their money's worth. And even if not, the standard fare of FunHouse mumble…

Four Corner Rooney
A last-minute-at-a-social-gathering Q request from the site Q FINALLY got me out of my doldrums of fartsacking and moping around for the past 3-4 weeks. I put on almost 4 pounds from my DSM weight, not watching what I…

Reminisce about the "Pain"theon
I haven't been to one of my old favorite AOs in WAY to long. We start to get spoiled with so many great F3 options that it gets easy to stay close to home. I love Funhouse's idea of Ass Kickin' April and getting out to…

Do a few things, but do them well.
Jekyll asked me to Q at Colosseum like a month and a half ago. I had reservations, as the Colosseum is outside my radius of comfort for a weekday post and it's not like the Q can leave early. Throwing caution to the…
