When Doves Cry

Date: 2026-02-18 AO: Meathead Q: MARTA , PAX: Blanks, Emoji, Soul Glo, Pepsi, Uncle Leo, taggart, The Worm, MARTA FNGs: COUNT: 8 MUMBLECHATTER A nice morning as the Q set up his ghetto speaker (“the slab”).. the PAX opted for Playlist B and avoided the soundtracks of classic movies for which Will Ferrell hath starred in. Strong start with Prince ending with Modest Mouse. A far cry from they typical grunge.
Chatter was strong and surprisingly free of mockery of those DR or absent. There may be a challenge race between Uncle Leo and my 2.0 in the 25 free this summer… oddsmakers and promoters still working on that one. taggart made an appearance to bolster the chatter and I’m not sure how many rounds Emoji and Pepsi got in… Hydra is rubbing off on them. All in all a solid day and good weather.
Coffee club was good but too much coffee was brought home as the coffee drinking dream team was mostly absent.
