Breaking Out Of Prison And Dropping Bombs

QIC: Starfish

Date: 5/29/2026

PAX: Frostbite (WB), Bootsie, Lamb Chop, Tammy, Spicoli, Starfish (QIC), Dr. Toot (WD)

So the video game “Urban Assault” launched in 1998.  So my junior analyst Claude assisted in developing a suggested workout weinke (that YHC merely took under advisement and therefore only loosely based what we actually did on Claude’s suggestions) and in developing a playlist of 1998 “bangers” to go with it (here Claude did a much nicer job as all of the tunes we listened to this morning were part of Claude’s suggestions).  Seven total pax showed up for at least a part of the festivities and here’s roughly how it went down:

    Now THAT is how you write a BB. I’m learning. Took a minute to figure out the BOMBS circuits but finally got it. Nicely done Starfish! 👏 Other than excessive running, looks like a perfect beatdown. 😅
