Cordova Curb Stomped

QIC: Your Mom

THE SCENE: 74° and stupid muggy. But The Annex (stage name: The Turd) was as cool as the other side of the pillow. Of course, that could’ve been the buzz YHC got from finishing off that almost empty bottle of Wild Turkey that was found while waiting on the PAX to arrive. WASTE NOT/WANT NOT. Slots actually showed up on time. Barney was there early. Billy Blanks was there, choosing his F3 brothers over the kickboxing grannies he sometimes hangs with in the Gloom. Despite living onsite, Speedy was not there. Reportedly, he was up too late at some sort of Magic the Gathering Rave in Phat Pat’s basement. Check out the D&DPokemon Channel on Slack if that sort of 2ndF scratches your itch, Steve Urkel.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Passion for our work* is not usually a subterranean volcano waiting to erupt. It is a plant that needs to be cultivated. It is a muscle that gets strengthened a little each day as we show up – as we do what is expected and then some.

-John Ortberg, The Me I want to Be

MOLESKIN:
It was good to get back in the QSack after a few weeks off. We did a lot of Bear Crawls this morning, approximately 510 yards to be exact. The PAX were generally enthusiastic about the challenge. Neckbrace, who experienced F3 for the first time today, came because of an invitation from Cheesesteak. Neckbrace assumed that Cheesesteak would join him at the Annex (as Sponsors are apt to do), because he was told … and I quote … “I’ll see you in the Gloom.” However, Pastor Cheese instead Fartsacked*, leaving his FNG all alone. Empty promises. Classic clergy move. Barney entertained the PAX during relentless Bear Crawling with tales of him and Speedy chasing down criminal punks on foot in tall grass behind the Collierville Walmart, a ringing endorsement for how F3 can improve one’s performance on the job. I’m sure when Speedy relayed this story to Phat Pat last night, he received 7,000 Troll Spirit Orbs or whatever nerd currency is exchanged at this sort of soirée. To each his own, dear readers. To each his own.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
We deliberately announced nothing.

*Sources say he was actually on Q at the Lair, but no physical evidence exists.
