The year is 1976. A piercing cry breaks through the pre-dawn gloom of the small hamlet in West Germany. “Nein, Frau Best, it’s ok… he’s supposed to look like that…” After several hours of counseling and education that you cannot “trade in” a baby, the young mother finally concedes. She …
A smooth operator once told YHC that your VQ is no big deal – just get it done. YHC thinks this would be true, any year other than 2023 and any F3 other than Thibodaux. We so often get to hear Yankee Kiper, Jr wax poetic about the draft class. …
Theres one singular event that universally strikes fear in the hearts of men. A rite of passage complete with every potential fear being confronted. A desolate wasteland where fortune favors the bold and one misstep can leave you cemented into a hall of shame . You’ve all passed through it …
Though many of the PAX followed Cardinal’s lead in giving the last IPC Saturday a thumbs down, 8 brave PAX braved the coupon ridiculousness in full view of the lady race at The Peltch on Saturday. Per usual, the smaller-than-usual number of men gathered around the flag only mattered until …

Today was the day. IPC week 3 on a Saturday morning at the Peltch. On paper it seemed a daunting task. But that’s just life isn’t it. Sometimes it’s sweet and a breeze. Sometimes it’s tougher than we think we can deal with and overwhelming. Looking back on challenging times …
Saturday, September 16th, 2023 marked the third week of IPC – The BDE Mile. Today, for no particular reason, we decided to go for a little run. So, after warmarama, we ran to the end of The Peltch, and when we got there, we thought maybe we’d run to the …
A Dilly-Dilly Dog is a hot dog inside of a hollowed out pickle, on a stick, dipped in cornmeal batter, and fried. A video of the process of inserting said hot dog into a hollowed out pickle may be considered disturbing or for other reasons not suitable for a professional …
YHC had already hinted to the PAX that there might be some running today, but they showed up anyway. It clearly goes to show that these fellas value the brotherhood and the shared experience of pain more than they want to avoid the grind. It was great to see a …
