It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, and…. yes, it was certainly the age of foolishness. The Pax were presented with two choices this morning, follow the Wacker of Bushes off to the Marsh where 35 lbs. cinderblocks awaited …
5 men did the annual 9/11 stair climb on Tuesday to remember and honor those 2792 men, women, and children who died 18 years ago. Hard to believe it’s that long ago already, and how much that event changed our world. With the grueling Iron Pax Challenge happening both the …
The Killer B’s ended with a bang Saturday morning, with Grundy taking the Northshore lead by mere seconds. Sure, we could debate the fairness of doing it on the lakefront’s luxurious grass vs. the Marsh’s unyielding concrete, or the legality of the proctor himself taking home first place, but when …
Being called in as a last minute backup can go one of two ways: either you’re a little stressed because you have to plan a beatdown quickly, or maybe the opposite, a little too relaxed, shirking that preparation because… hey, you’re the backup, what’re they expecting? Now, I’m not gonna …
Inspired by Chewy’s spate of back to back to back blasts, YHC figured it was time to put some fingers to the keyboard. I love to read these things, so why have I shirked my duty for my last 3 Q’s? Alright, let’s forget the counts just this once, …

It has been awhile since YHC has even thought about a beatdown where no one showed. Come to think of it, I can pinpoint it to when Cowbell washed ashore this side of the lake. With Pik consistently posting to the Marsh and Cowbell now consistently posting at Granny’s, you …
Being on my feet over at the salon every day is no easy task and, with the Gnarly Nutria only a day away, it seemed like a good idea to give the legs a rest today. While that may sound like YHC actually had a plan, make no mistake – …
Five PAX made it out to the Marsh this morning, itching to get back to work after a grueling holiday weekend. This included a special appearance by (Chief) Captain Sparkles, who posted despite a traumatic rope swing injury suffered while impressing a lady. YHC imagines it looked something like this… Despite …
Fourteen men posted this morning to pay their respects to Lt. Michael Murphy and the millions of others who have sacrificed everything for our country. To honor that sacrifice, we did The Murph. YHC gave a quick recap of Lt. Michael Murphy’s story – he was part of a …
