A frigid 24 degrees awaited the heartiest of PAX for another installment of The Big House. This episode featured the miseducation of Sugar Shack on the origin of Merkins and guidance to Google image search in order to discover the true origin. It was suggested that a work computer be used while Chum’s boss might be watching. Bad idea.

3 PAX complete Zero to Murph training. No coffeteria, although several PAX invited themselves over for coffee at YHC’s house.
