So Catfish has been twisting my arm to Q at the Silo for several months now, to the point of where my arm had suffered at least a third degree Native American burn, and was just about broken.  With ghost week here, it seemed like the time to capitulate and trek my way outside theContinue reading “BB – Ghostmode – The Silo – North Posh – 10-21-19”

I broke my Q maiden at the posh today. I’m always trying to impress Zoo and I like to humor the PAX, so I decided to dress up as a 1970’s football coach. HAT: generic trucker, grey mesh, white background, with black COACH lettering, worn high with a Carhartt insulated hat underneath. FACE: a freshlyContinue reading “Coach ‘Em Up!

Do you want to get faster in 2018? Do you want to chug a beer before your next church league b-ball game and then slam a 360 tomahawk dunk on your opponent?
