Mosey to the coupon cage and grab a coupon. I like to shut the cage back and dummy lock it to keep anyone from wandering in there. Next time I do, I will make sure everyone is out first. BenGay almost spent some time in solitary.
Rifle carry up to the roundhouse.
The Thang-
Dora 1
PAX1 works while PAX2 rifle carries a coupon around the roundhouse. Flipflop.
100 jungle boys
200 merkins(crowd favorite with the rifle carry)
300 curls
Abs or merkins for the 6.
Audible- I initially called for a farmers carry with both coupons until Tickle asked what PAX1 was going to work with after PAX2 takes of with both coupons. Can’t pull anything over on the doc. I was actually just testing to see if anybody would catch that. That’s my story anyway.
Farmers carry to Flossy’s Hill. Audible called here due to loss of feeling in several PAX’s fingertips.
Dora2-
PAX 1 works/PAX 2 back pedals to top, then crawlbear down. Flipflop.
100 OH presses
200 tricep ext
300 American hammers counting 1 side
Recover
Alternating farmer carry coupons back to the cage.
COT-
Countorama- Pothole with a bit of struggle to get his number out.
Nameorama- Pothole nailed it
Announcements- Christmas party at Blu’s house on Dec 14th from 6-9pm. No toothpicks. Crayola asked if Blu was going to be there. Blu was not in attendance to verify this.
Prayer requests/praise reports- Foley’s M had surgery over the break. Prayers for recovery. Hulk’s friend, Jimmy Hughes, in Atlanta for the next 6-8 months recovering from a bone marrow transplant. Quickie’s parents’ neighbor, Wesley, fell and broke his back. Lego started to feel lightheaded and dizzy on Flossey’s Hill. He sat it out for a bit to recover and left early. Hope he is feeling better.
BOM- YHC prayed us out
NMM- Since Baby Blu, Mr. Bean, and Juggernaut were no shows, we had an odd number of PAX for the Dora I had planned. So I joined a group with BenGay and Mary Anne. Somehow it was discovered that neither BenGay or I had ever been part of a threesome. Mary Anne had no comment. Not sure what that implied. Guess there’s a first time for everything. We all just assumed that Blu, Bean, and Juggs were at Fury and decided to do the harder thing. Either way, they were missed.
I also thought we had an FNG at first glance. Hulk had the hood on his sweatshirt over his head. It was Hulk’s voice , but it was coming out of somebody else’s face.
With a coupon in rifle carry, the trip around the roundhouse is much longer than it looks. At some point, Mary Anne said “How many sides this thing got on it?” Seemed like every time you got around the corner, there was another one. The rifle carry/merkin part truly sucked. It just got to a point where it felt like someone was sitting on my back during the merkins. Flossy’s Hill, well, nothing pleasant comes out of Fossy’s Hill. There’s just no good way to do a crawlbear. And you have to be careful jumping up after a crawlbear, or at least I did. I’d get a little dizzy and had to get my bearings. I believe everyone was close to finishing this Dora before I called recover. I think it was the added motivation from Foley, “Be the body!!!”, that got everybody moving. Not sure if his partner, Pothole, agreed with him. The temps definitely had the coupons frozen solid. Even with the 2C gloves, the cold permeated the fingertips. Thin gloves just added a whole extra layer of suck. If there was much mumblechatter this morning, I didn’t hear it. I was too busy moaning and groaning myself. It was at COT when everything went a bit south. There was discussion of eating crayons, dreadlocks, pot smokin custodians, and pooping in the floor. I can’t make that up. See, you should have been there. It was worth the admission. It was a pleasure to Q at the Epicenter again. All PAX went at it hard and tackled the work. Excellent work gentlemen!
Southern Belle is hanging up…
