Suds Thinks
- “Geez my fingers and #@?!?# freezing and burning at the same time” with 4 gloves on.
- Speaking of, At Least Riccohet has a sock for his #@?!?!!!!! (So he should clearly be here…..)
With Joy in my heart, I looked up to see 10 brave souls (with potentially questionable judgement) ready for the holiday beatdown.
We kicked into high gear listening to holiday tunes and cranking up our work to Hanukkah and Christmas Cheer!
