– Ruby Slippers flew in 10 minutes early to be 5 minutes late
– Falcon Crest was hoodwinked early in his rucking career by Mainframe into buying a 45# plate, which is something he is sure he’ll eventually be grateful for
– 3D’s GTE prep continues, but he doesn’t mind if it doesn’t include any more Crawl Bears
– Italian Job only sang 3 90’s hits, which is indicative of how tired he must be from his weekend in Wichita
– For a hearing doctor, Decibel claimed a lot of “unable to hear” for his lack of compliance with instructions
– fishstix taught us his award winning atomic wedgie techniques to be employed at a later time. Probably when you aren’t looking.
