We arrive to find none other than @van.gogh halfway through his Murph reps because he decided to be even more highly questionable in behavior and hour. Lunacy will not be outdone.<\/p>\n<p>The mumble chatter was centered around what a spectacular show was before us with the upcoming matchup. But boy, all expectations were blown away by the spectacle that was Warden Wargames.<\/p>\n<p>The lunatics arrived back at the AO to a posse assembled and with a curious block chain arrangement off in a lesser known grassy area of the AO staged by @van.gogh. @subfloor is pacing the parking lot with an eye to the notorious benches (NDE for YHC at a previous @subfloor Q enters YHC&#8217;s mind), warming up his tune box and reminding YHC that we&#8217;ll need to shorten the warmup to squeeze in some travel time to the wall. The air is tense. Leprechaun magic itself could hardly conjure more anticipation.<\/p>\n<p>0530 strikes. The time has come.<\/p>\n<p>WRM<\/p>\n<p>YHC&#8217;s ability to tease out the routines has been naught each week.

The dreadful Coyote Ugly is tossed out as a decoy and an incredulous laugh shoots out from YHC&#8217;s mouth. The Q had mercy and rebranded the call to the &#8220;Coyote Pretty&#8221;. Some psychological chess maneuvers out of the gate for Monsieur &#8216;floor. I like it.<\/p>\n<p>3\/17\/2026 is @subloor&#8217;s M and his 19th wedding anniversary!!! Happy anniversary! This constituted a celebration in the form of a playlist that featured all the songs from their wedding as well as on-theme rep counts.

The extra minute early start really torched YHC&#8217;s mathing abilities. I never seemed to equilibriate again and was all but lost for the entirety of the beatdown.

Shot out of the gate when called and took command. Onward to the block chain arrangement on the South Lawn. We would be partaking in the St. Patty&#8217;s bar crawl and feeling all the physical consequences without any of the enjoyment.

They done good with you sir.<\/li>\n<li>@Head Hunter was named in the red-headed conspiracy and some evidence was uncovered on slack after this beatdown with some neon Green Day cover band red hair. The plot indeed thickened at this point. @Subfloor said we would all be hearing from his legal team.<\/li>\n<li>@Tammy&#8217;s kindness cannot be understated.
