Don't Sandbag Me Bro

Welcome to Day 2 of the Back-to-Back Beaker Beatdown (B4 [TM]). I want to let you in on a little secret. I typically sign up to Q with an idea already in mind. Like, “Wouldn’t it be fun to carry five gallons of water around and then hop on a sled pulled by my fellow PAX?” But, when I was perusing the F3Carpex website looking at Q sheets last Friday, I noticed a glaring hole at SNS this coming week, so I jumped on it.

Prodigal No-Show

Today was supposed to be the triumphant return to the Q of DZ’s own prodigal site-Q Callahan. So much anticipation building to this historic occasion. Callahan’s last Q at DZ was January 6th, heck, may have even been his last post at this site. The calf is so fat now, YHC was planning to roll him to the site. Alas, it was not meant to be. While the prodigal son was still a long way off, he sent a GroupMe saying he would not be returning.

Q That Will Live in Infamy

YHC tweeted last night that this would be a Q that will live in infamy. It would prove a portent of things to come. For, in a cosmic coincidence of epic proportions, both site Qs actually showed up at Danger Zone. I mean, when was the last time that happened? Has it ever happened? Did they recognize each other? Also, Sputnik posted for the first time since Chanticleer broke his wrist at BO. [Read More]
