  • Where is this hill you guys keep talking about

    4 men of old made their way out of the comfort of the Fart Sack and into the Gloom on an almost 70 degree morning in mid December according to the janitorial staff at BWES this is what they saw

    COP on the basketball court behind BW

    DQ’s, Helicopters, Russian Soldiers, Imperial Walkers, merkins (slow then fast), shoulder taps and some other stuff

    Mosey around the side of the school when Florence says “Where is this hill you guys are always talking about?” YHC’s response was “It’s funny you should ask” and the turn up the sidewalk was made

    At the bottom of the hill we stopped to prepare for the trip up with Hello dollies, Rosalittas, Sugar sticks

    Mosey to the top dropping off 4 glow sticks along the way (thank goodness for the dollar store)

    At the top Twin Team Suicides where on order, run down to the first stick 20 LBC’s run back to the top. Al Gore for the 6, repeto for the other 3 sticks.

    Once all 4 runs where complete mosey to the second stick down the hill but time is getting short, bear crawl up to the first stick. Pick up all the sticks on the way BTTF

    Still have 5 minutes left once we got BTTF

    Ring of fire 10 Merkins of choice while PAX holds 6″

    Ring of Fire number 2 20 Ab of choice while PAX holds their best Scrunchy frog pose

    Numbers / Names YHC took us out

    NMS:

    Someone had mentioned over the last couple weeks that its been a while sense Twin Team hill has been seen at this AO, so it was already part of YHC’s plan. Florence just made it a better choice when he mentioned that this was his first non IPC post at this AO and he wanted to know where the hill was. YHC then knew his choice to hit the hill was the right decision, thank you Florence for your curiosity and I hope it was everything you wanted for Christmas and maybe a little more.

  • Doozy travels the globe

    YHC and family made the usual Thanksgiving trip back to Fort Mill, SC just past Charlotte on the map. 3 Beatdowns in 4 days and this is a brief run down on what happened.

    Thursday morning (30 degrees) in Fort Mill, SC starting at 6:30 – 70 would be warriors made their way out of the Gloom to be lead by Hardwood (friend of YHCs) and YHC will be bringing some good material home.

    Friday morning in Waxhaw, NC starting at 6:30 – 19 Grizzly veterans mosey out into the (42 Degree) almost tropical temperatures following Mad Dogs lead

    Saturday morning in Charlotte, NC (Metro one of the AO’s where it all began – Indy) 5 HIM’s lead by C-Span possibly the best (worst) beatdown I have ever been a part of. It was in a parking deck with a spiral drive on one side (run up 6 flights, 12 floors) this made Twin Team look like child’s play. 10 Merkins at the top run across the top floor to the stairs 10 LBC’s, run down steps to start 10 Flying Squirrels ( AKA Groiners) then back up the Dizzy. Repeto as many times as possible. YHC was able to get 5 cycles in 2nd to Cooler who is in his 30’s and has more legs than body. Cooler would be Charlottes version of Fresh Prince.

    NMS:

    YHC loves traveling and hitting AO’s that make you a part of their PAX. F3 is a brotherhood and YHC for one is very thankful for all my brothers across this country.

    Pics are from Friday and Saturday, YHC is trying to get pics from convergence Thursday

    With so many Mondays just Florence and YHC we are getting to know each other fairly well and some of our conversations are way more detailed than what you might find in a normal AO COT. I love my brother Florence and pray for him and his family daily. We should all strive to know each HIM and their M / 2.0’s to make the bond of the PAX that much greater.

    YHC got a text from Last Call at the wee hours of the morning “not going to make it” so YHC was counting on the possibility of seeing Bullseye or Chaplain this morning. YHC had a great surprise waiting for him in the parking lot with Gumbo already there and Rosie not far behind. YHC really had no plan for the beatdown but knew with these two studs even in recovery mode we could get some things done.
