Forging Memories

A 9-pack of HARDER Lemonade enthusiasts converged at The Forge and embraced the suck. Many were surprised to learn the Forge is an acronym for the 5 core principles. Many were not surprised that a DTH beatdown is in fact challenging. 

F – Free

O – Open to all men

R – Rain or Shine

G – Guys rotate the Q

E – Ends with COT

MINI WALLORAMA:

COT:

  • Counterama # 9
  • Namerama
  • Announcerama (see Below)
  • YHC took the PAX out in Prayer

NMS:  Someone has been enjoying Harder Lemonade at The Forge, and we all suspect Machismo. Mount Warmerama is more than just a warm-up …OOF!  The stench is back, but not nearly as bad as years past. Doublemint shared stories from his glory days – surprise tattoos, STD’s, near-miss pregnancies and maybe paying a chick to pee on his face? Tough to say whether that was a joke or not… Appreciate Mudslide bringing the ShovelFlag since YHC had left it at BWE after the Ruck. Good to have you at the Forge brother! And thanks to Snuff for reminding us of the gift of every breath. Always an immense pleasure and honor to lead the Forge PAX! Yours Truly, DTH

Announcements (SEE SLACK!)
