Remember that time on “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” when Peppermint Patty invited herself over to Charlie’s house for Thanksgiving?  That’s pretty much what YHC did to @Boomerang’s house when he tried to cancel #TheRockQuarry and force everyone to head west over to #TheDistillery at the ungodly hour (for a holiday) of 0530.  And YHC was so uncouth that he invited several other esteemed guests to crash the party as well, including a total of 16 pax.

COT/BOM:  YHC took us out

FIN.

NMM

Significant debate as we were gathering as to whether we were there for a 45 minute version or an hour long version.  We ended up splitting the difference at 56 minutes.

Also impressive were all of the Black SUVs parading into the parking lot courtesy of at least @Bluto and @Lemming.

Del Brown is always a crowdpleaser and following him up with a visit from Jack Webb was particularly pleasing.  @Bulldog was begging to run during Jack Webb.  We had to let @GreenAcres show off his chiseled arms though.

Dr. Kevorkian never fails to disappoint either.  The pax definitely appreciated the burpee round.

Lt. Dan took forever but the pax finally got their wish of some leg work to balance out the arm and shoulder smoker that started the party.  @Pullout was disappointed by the music selection at this point and thought that YHC had mixed up my workout playlist with my meditation playlist.  @Wobegon took umbrage with that suggestion and rightly corrected him that Wilco is perfectly fine workout music.  And @ThePonyExpress loved the music, particularly the Hank, Jr. selections.  And we haven’t even gotten to Wayne Newton or Dido yet…

Here’s the playlist:

• Intro:  Alice’s Restaurant Massacre (Arlo Guthrie)
• Thank You (Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats)
• Thank You (Falettinme Be Myself) (Sly & The Family Stone)
• The Thanks I Get (Wilco)
• Thank You for the Venom (My Chemical Romance)
• Thanks A Lot (Hank Williams, Jr.)
• Family Tradition (Hank Williams, Jr.)
• Thank You Friends (Big Star)
• Gratitude (Beastie Boys)
• THX U! (White Denim)
• Misunderstood (Wilco)
• Truckin’ (The Grateful Dead)
• Thank You (Led Zeppelin)
• The Thanksgiving Song (Adam Sandler)
• Danke Schoen (Wayne Newton)  (Or Ferris Bueller….)
• Thank You (Dido)

We hit the 45 minute mark sometime during Captain Thor and the pax realized that this truly was a #RogueTRQ if they hadn’t figured it out by then with the running we had already done.  We just wanted to make sure that we all burned sufficient calories for the carb loading that we were all going to be doing for the rest of the day.

Announcements:

• F3WS is supporting greeNest (greenestws.org) throughout December.  See Van Gogh (12/5), Palin (12/12) or BAM (12/19) if you can help pick up and deliver furniture on one or more Saturdays in December.  And let YHC know if you have furniture to donate.
• Saturday at IS, @VanGogh is hosting the 3rd(?) annual Bourbon Barrel Sexual Chocolate Release party.  Coffee and beer at Footnote after the beatdown at Hanes Park.

Thanks for letting me crash and bring my friends, Chuck.  It was an honor and privilege to sleep in a bit and then get to lead.

Your friend,

Starfish
