The Boys in the Hood

by admin on March 2, 2008

OK, Fulshear has come and gone. Weeble ran another strong leg, Mav torn up another relay leg, and T3 hobbled through his. Here is a pic for the ladies: Here is a pic of the inside of the Piraña Mobile. Needless to say, it is a pit. We are getting in and out and trading […]

Pumpkins Anyone

by admin on March 2, 2008

OK, now it is midnight. The witching hour. We are a van of cramps, vomiting, funky odors, and other things we can’t even describe to those who are not here to experience it.
