Conditions: Clear, 68 degrees. Humidity 52%. Wind 15.9 m/h from NE
Pax: Boo Boo, Bogey, Mahatma, Hawg, Hand Grenada, Frac, Logo, PVC, Bolt, and War Eagle
I signed Hand Grenada up to Q a number of El Diablos so he can get his name on the prestigious bat. After the workout, I asked him about writing the Backblast and he let me know that he doesn’t own a computer….or know how to write. So we sat down and I interviewed him:
YHC: Who posted:
HG: You were there. Don’t you know?
YHC: Yes.
HG: Okay.
YHC: What did you do?
HG: You were there.
YHC: Tell it to me in your own words.
HG: My back hurt
YHC: Okay, that’s a start, but not really the answer to the question.
HG: Warm-up
YHC: Good.
HG: Rock. Hill
YHC: ….
HG: Bogey 11. Opposite 11. Seven
YHC: Stop there. I’m not following. Are saying you that 7 is the opposite of 11?
HG: Yes.
YHC: 7 is definitely not the opposite of 11. Negative 11 is the opposite of 11.
At this point HG held out his hands and stared at them for a while. Then he looked at my feet. He looked back at his hands. This took at least 3 minutes. His brow was furled most of those three minutes. Then he looked at me smiled and said…
HG: Seven.
YHC: Is it because they rhyme? That’s not what opposite means. Does your confusion have something to do with the gas station?
HG:…
YHC: Okay 7s. What was next?
HG: Bleachers. Merkins. Pavilion.
YHC: You went from the hill to the bleachers to the pavilion? That surprises me. The pavilion is right by the hill. You’ve never been one to travel extra distance.
HG: No. Basketball Pavilion.
YHC: That’s a gym.
HG: Crawl Bear. Shoulder. Sit. Balls. Mary. End.
