Fun with Curbs

On one of the most pleasant (despite the 96% humidity) mornings, two stout lads joined YHC for a beatdown at Austin and the DNC (Dunwoody Nature Center).

Tired at the Norseman

As I was preparing to write this I got the news of Darth Visor’s passing.  He was at my first beatdown at the Rubicon over three years ago.  After the beatdown, I remember thinking man he’s a nut!  Whether it was the mumble chatter or the crazy ideas for beatdowns Darth …

Rubinator – Gladicon Cinder Rub

It was a great honor and pleasure to be back at The Rubicon to Q.  After all, it’s at The Rubicon where everything got started.  Without The Rubicon, there would be no Gladiator, or for that matter, there would be no AOs in Atlanta at all.  Thank you to the …

THE Kenny Rogers

Anytime I start playing cards I get the great Kenny Rogers song, “The Gambler” stuck in my head.  I also think about how great Kenny Rogers Roasters was and lament on its demise, but I guess that is for another time or BB.  *Side note, you can actually still find …

Guest Q

Posting for No-See-Um: 13 pax posted in the gloom on a somewhat hazy morning here at The Hooch.  YHC has been wanting to make an appearance here ever since they launched some two+ years ago.  YHC back in the ATL for work so what better way to spend a few …
