Happy Canada from everyone at Dirty Rectangles hope to see you on the Hill! The ” Earthquake blast” went great thanks everyone who put something together we will be posting the games shortly.   It looks like our weekly meet might be cancelled or postponed due to every one already going out and getting super drunk down town,  so we will make an announcement about meeting over the weekend or at a later date.

NOW LETS GET PISSED!

This months theme is earthquakes due to our recent run in with mother nature.

GOOD LUCK!

You also are competing against your Siamese brother heads who are trying to get big as well. food is limited, while crap is not. Will you survive?
