The Return to Foxhole

The Return to Foxhole

10 of the mightiest men in SOB Nation weren’t afraid of Father Time and a mediocre loss of an hour of sleep.  While most were soft  and asleep fantasizing of how tough they were, these Tenacious 10 sharpened iron by slinging cannonballs around for fun.

The Moleskine:

It’s been a while since I’ve been at Foxhole and man I have missed swinging those bells!  Voodoo had requested a while back that I bring this challenge over to this site and I was more than happy to oblige.  This challenge has been attempted a few times now and it always puts a good whoopin on those that attempt it.  Hope you guys are all the better for it!  Today most made it up to the round for Cleans before we had to call time and jump over to 5 rounds of 20 merkins to satisfy MT’s need to fulfill his quota for the merkin challenge.

Great to see Gomer Pyle back out swinging bells again!  Argonaut showed up a beast and has continued to impress week to week.  It’s great to see Freon out there continuing to show what tough really is.  MT, impressive showing especially after Balrog!  Great to have Chipotle out this week and I’m sure we can all look forward to a butt kicking next week for his Q!  For all you other regulars I hope you enjoyed something a little different…I promise I’ll bring the gear out next time!!

Loogie, thanks for the great takeout!
