A strong PAX of 4 posted for the Punisher. Joey Chestnut was hesitant, perhaps because of a dearth of hot dogs, but warmed up to the beatdown and put in a solid effort with the other PAX.

Under a full moon, a PAX of five posted for the most recent Punisher. The Holton E.S. parking lot was almost full when YHC arrived, but mostly due, apparently, to evening parent-teacher conferences in the building.
