ANNOUNCEMENTS: I am pathetic!

Shamed by Gherkin because of my non-existent backblast, which I was holding off on doing so I could dO mY OwN tG10 aNd NoT bE a LoSeR, I can’t hold off forever. I hereby release Gherkin from the retaliatory backup withholding I instituted.

So now my list of ignominious failures for the year includes putting together a nutso tg10 and not even doing it. At least I am finally gaining ground in my personal battle against perfectionism.

COT: I originally visualized tg10 as something for PAX who were having trouble making it out to AOs for beatdowns. tg10, I figured, would be a way for them to participate more. Unexpectedly, tg10 turns out to be something for the most hard core, guys who are already coming out a ton to in-person beatdowns. What does this mean I wonder? other than I am pathetic…
