Situation is Not Dead"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A small, but elite force traveled to the West End to battle the army of the darkness, commanded by our old friend, the Grim Reaper.\u00a0 This workout was created by Cobra, stolen by Mongoose, bastardized and then self-plagiarized by Thistle, and honored by Burns.\u00a0 YHC joins the long list of PAX to unleash it on the boys of the gloom.\u00a0 As the sun rose over the roofs of the historic homes on the hills of the West End, the crows ominously perched themselves high on the fences of the tennis courts, cawing a melodious alarm.\u00a0 The light emerged over the park and the dark skies became bright.\u00a0 After Mutton\u2019s driver eased the luxury automobile into his reserved parking space, the dookie spryly leapt out of the car.\u00a0 As the seconds ticked close to Oh-Beatdown-O\u2019Clock, Spicoli\u2019s chariot roared into the lot on two wheels.\u00a0 The streetlights shone off of his shiny dome and we knew he had arrived.\u00a0 The call went out to fight for the survival of the once great bastion of F3 Winston-Salem\u2019dom, Impossible Situation.\u00a0 Like many other worldly wonders lost to ancient antiquity, time has been unkind to the historic AO.\u00a0 Once the crown jewel of the F3WS empire, the pundits claim the tattered mothership is dying.\u00a0 So who answered that call to save it this morning?\u00a0 A washed up, discontinued malted beverage last popular over 30 years ago.\u00a0 A high school burnout still living in his glory days, which judging by the remnants of his attire, were a long time ago.\u00a0 And a HVAC repairman whose once-sharp mind has led him to be self-described as old and confused.\u00a0 Even the drug pushers, the shirtless vagrants, the crooked physicians, and the diabetes desserts stayed away.\u00a0 These are what\u2019s left of the warriors of the gloom.\u00a0 Onto the battlefield they marched with steadfast hopes of glory.\u00a0 The fight raged on and was taking its toll on the PAX, but shortly after this triad of troops engaged the Reaper, out of the gloom the cavalry arrived in the form of a professional dog walker, along with his faithful steed, nee canine, The Beast.\u00a0 Dropping stink bombs up and down the lanes, the four-legged secret weapon proved to be the decisive factor in the skirmish.\u00a0 The boys battled hard throughout the park and on the slopes of Pilot View, barely escaping with the will to fight on, as evidenced by the destruction to Spicoli\u2019s emblematic headband.\u00a0 They live on to fight another day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>WARMUP.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Who
