ER. The most awesomest AO.

We all have favorites:  favorite football team, favorite place to get a burger, favorite child….I’m sure that most of you also have a favorite place to post in the gloom.  TF has made it clear that his favorite is Expresso.  Mainly because it’s 100 yards from his house, but we don’t judge.  Daewoo loves him […]

Substi-blast, Part1

The Backblast.  Some are funny, some ain’t.  Some are short, some ain’t.  Others are funny and short.  Wait, are we still talking about backblasts here?  Either way, they are getting rare.  I’m running out of ideas to coax folks into writing them and I’m having no friggin luck.  Screw ’em all, I’ll write the sombitch […]

Team Hottie

It was another beautiful morning with pretty dern-nice weather. YHC had the Q at ER for the first time in a long time. Although he didn’t know it until a text came in yesterday from the Monday Run Group asking if they were going to post at ER (since Taz had the Q) or run…they […]

ER, a cure for the Mondays

ER is a hussy. And I love her

Weather:  Purt nice Roadkill was on the Q schedule for this am.  Since hide nor hair of him has been seen in while, YHC had a feeling that he wasn’t going to show up.  After Publix unsuccessfully tried to Text Shame him into the Q, your boy decided to come up with something fun. Went […]

The Crappening

10 Lords a Leaping

RAM is always a fairly challenging AO for YHC to Q.  I’ll be honest, between living in Hildebran and working in Valdese, Im in Hickory more in the mornings, (in the dark) with you guys in 3 mornings a week than I generally am in a month!  So YHC generally tries to find some fairly […]

#ER40

Hype it up, hype it up, and then hype up the hype. Did we get to 40? No. Was it worth the hype? Absolutely. YHC has a dream to one day bring 40 HIM before the Concrete Beast. It didn’t happen today…. Either way, 30+ men posted in sub-freezing temperatures to enjoy this; SSH IC […]
