Baklava, gaga, and messing with Burlap at Purgatory

Baklava, gaga, and messing with Burlap at Purgatory

QIC: BAM

Date: 11/19/2022

PAX: Starfish, Burlap, Green Acres (WD), High Cotton, Blue Steel (WB), Drama Queen, Total Package (DR from Concord), Pony Express, Singing Cowboy, Bluto, Splash, BAM (QIC)

As the pax assembled on a chilly and clear November morn, Splash looked at YHC and said “Didn’t you Q here just recently?”  The answer is yes, but when an absent site Q reaches out with help to fill out the calendar for the end of the year, it’s just easier to step up than listen to the incessant grumbling…

It was a grand time filled with with mostly Respects and up, but pax were appreciative of the Aye’s that joined to help us feel youthful.  Even if it meant High Cotton showing up late.  Pax dressed for the weather, Starfish taking it a step further.  Pax weren’t sure if he thought the forecast for was for 3 degrees instead of 30 as he rocked a tasty baklava.  Check that, being told the official name is a balaclava, a form of cloth headgear only designed to show the only part of the face.  Not the tasty greek pastry item baklava.

NMM

• Starfish loved the tunes the Q chose
• Pax were interrupted in the middle of the horseshoe fun by Closer who appeared and disappeared out of nowhere.  He recruited pax to reset the Gaga game frame back on the platform.  Massive strength and dexterity was demonstrated by pax to help the kids.
• Burlap may have started twitching when Q changed number of reps for the different rock exercises.  Whether on purpose or merely a lack of intellectual depth by the Q, the world may never know.
• Multiple pax commented the relay was the fasted they had attempted to run in quite some time.
• Woodpecker passed the pax a couple of times.  We weren’t sure what a woodpecker call sounds like, but whatever sound this woodpecker attempted to do to get our attention was definitely not it.
• It was learned during coffeteria that The Pony Express may have modified the number of horseshoe reps to a lower figure
• It was also learned that you don’t want to play TPE’s mother in Scrabble, regardless if you’re wearing pants or not.
• Bluto is starting a new TV show to increase profitability in his skin doc practice: Bluto’s Bumps, Boils, and Abrasions.  Guaranteed to be can’t miss TV.

Prayer Requests:

• Aging mothers/fathers
• Upcoming Holiday – travels, family dynamics and relationships, etc
