In an effort to mix it up YHC decided to paruse the good ole’ F3 Lexicon and Exicon for some fresh ideas. What started out as a hot potato quickly became a full on Q and YHC didn’t even know it. In typical Swirley fashion, we moseyed on down to the…

Was glad to be able to have BT experience what others have so eloquently described: “F*$^ me!

Rolling up to Batteau in an F3 tux (black shirt, black shorts), and with an F3 corsage (shovelflag), YHC realized at 05:29 that he’d be going to the dance solo.
