A Cobra, Zima, Cherry Pie Morning

A Cobra, Zima, Cherry Pie Morning

QIC: Cherry Pie

Date: 9/6/17

PAX: The Vig, Glazer, Root Canal, Snap Chat, Swiss Miss, Roosevelt, Mutton, Chisel, Mr Hand, Dr Gandolf, Manscape, Snappy

On August 21st the world witnessed a complete solar eclipse.  On September 6th the world witnessed a Cobra, Zima, Cherry Pie morning.  Yes, the planets aligned for a second time with all three Q’ing at separate respective AOs.  Frankly, yhc is a bit put-off at the thought of being lumped in with those two workout FREAKS.  In any case, there was considerable Tuesday evening chatter that these three planets should never align (especially during BRR week), otherwise leaving the pax with a mind-bending and potentially painful decision – which AO to visit on this fine Wednesday morning??

While still categorically denying the comparison to Cobra & Zima, Cherry Pie would certainly agree that 12 pax chose the much lesser of the three evils.  Conspiracy, after all, is the mothership.  Admittedly, the Q miscalculated the time it would take to complete Phase I of the morning’s beatdown.  Q-fail won’t hold up in court, but the pax clearly has an argument based upon the monotony and mind numbing routine of the day’s regimen.  Cherry Pie begs forgiveness from the Site Q and promises to do better next time….

Time flies when you’re having fun.  At the conclusion of “Phase I” (Two Stations), yhc checked his watch….zoinks….6:09!!!!!  No time for Phase II, better known as The Intimidator.  Plan B and a quick round of Mary capped off the morning.  Based upon the non-existent mumble chatter during Phase I, the Q has concluded that the beatdown lived up to the hype.

Truth be told, yhc believes that the lack of mumble chatter was simply a sign that each pax was pushing himself.  The effort showed.  Great work men!  As always, an honor to be with each of you.
