  • I Love the Sound of Men Groaning in the Morning

    It’s funny how YHC hates getting wet except when Qing.  Then the PAX’s anguish sustains me.

    Must be Q-drenaline, because nothing seemed that bad, but the PAX was full of complaints during the Clerkins.  Make it hard and they’ll come back is what YHC has always heard.  Perhaps we shall see.  Welcome Gonzo, Snuff can explain.

    Prayers for UpChuck’s coworker/family, Hitch’s friend and mentor, Bodos’ parents in Asheville

  • Flesh Anchor

    Even Bro Code needs a leader.  Someone has to present the brilliant idea of running it in reverse, or original style depending how long you’ve been around.

    Here’s where we went:

    • R on Pump
    • L on Ridgefield
    • R on Copperas

    • R on Pump
    • Back to VSF

    MOLESKIN

    Pigskin nearly took on a car, Pigskin would’ve won.  Unless of course Chuck Norris was behind the wheel, then it would’ve been a tie.  The lead pack talked about a Flesh Anchor among other things.  If you know, you know.  If you don’t know, ask your mom.

    YHC wonders when the jokes about going deep at The Deep will subside.  No time soon I would suspect.  T-shirt design may even make First Watch blush.  Great to lead this new AO.  EH anyone you may know in the far west end.  Let’s go deeper!  And of course, that’s what she said.

    Feels like there’s a lot of chatter about visiting a particular place when YHC has the Q.  Sometimes you gotta give the people what they want, and it’s always better to go there with friends.  There may not be a darker place on earth than the 30 yards or so before reaching the clearing at the Devil’s Perineum, bka Satan’s Taint.  Apologies to the dog and its walker startled by 8 men doing booyahs at the end of her driveway.  Splinter enjoys a good All-Skate.

  • Didn’t Drink Water Til I Was 14

    YHC gave State Farm the option, fun and games or see who pukes first. Wiser heads prevailed, but hooping one on one for an hour nearly brought the puke anyway. Toss in a few poorly thrown routes on the Gridiron and the day was complete. Series was tied 1-1, to be decided another day. The seldomly heard of Perpetual Q rule was invoked at R&R, nearly the same at Iron Bridge, but State Farm was not convinced to abandon ship. Thanks for coming out and making it a fun morning. Hydrate if you must.

  • The Best Taste of WestHoe

    One orange tractor company, one American financier, one type of hand gesture for greetings, one very tasty sauce from SE Europe, one tall Butler, one hand tool for carpentry or website for men only, one fast as sh_t wild feline, one California Highway (i) Patrol (s) motorcycle cop and one made from scratch buttermilk biscuit stuffed with Bo Berries and topped with sweet icing converged at the bottom of Satan’s Hill for the latest WestHoe Takeover Q, hot potato style. The following DID occur:

    Kubota Q:

    Mosey to the end of parking lot and circle up for:

    Back to the flag for some Mary:

    Flutter Kicks, APD’s, and a new one called the WW2 Centipede! You have to see/do it to understand.

    Numbers, Names, Announcements and Handshake took us out!

    NMS:

    What a great morning for the WestHoe Q’s to Clown Car(Truck) to Satan’s Hill and work out with these great men! This was YHC’s first post at SH and won’t be the last. It was hot, to say the least, with no air moving whatsoever. Plenty of new tricks were pulled out of the hat today that were founded in WestHoe. Wounded Seal is the new craze that will be spreading throughout F3RVA soon. You better hope the grass is wet! Block the Plank is easy for the first round, but rounds 2 and 3 are brutal! And Pencil Rolls? Well, they are just fun!

    Thanks for working hard this morning, men! It was tough to breath out there this morning, but everyone pushed through and got a little bit better. Take that hard work with you throughout your day!

    SYITG!

  • Hot and humid

    Four gathered on Friday morning for running or walking. Our route took us up Pump, then onto Three Chopt, before looping back to Pump. Blue Moon was pacing himself, still in recovery mode, while Doozy was conserving energy for tomorrow’s Homegrown Half. Pig Skin, fresh from his vacation, joined us feeling rested and full of stories, including a few grumbles about European parking. SYITG.
