No Arm Thingy’s !!

No Arm Thingy’s !!

QIC: Cherry Pie

Date: 8/31/2020

PAX: THE Estate: Tigger, BAM
RnG: Hoptoberfest, Closer, Wobegon, Bout Time, Butter, Interference

Was it something yhc said (ie: no arm swirly things) or was it the Shmed hangover that kept the pax holed up and away from this morning’s gloom? Cherry Pie thinks it was probably the latter, in which case there will be no blaming those who showed up strong for the Shmed shredding 2020. Before moving on, it is very true that yhc has a real issue with arm swirly things, seal claps, etc….most pax have their “thang” that causes personal issue…for Glazer it’s bear crawls, for Cheerio it’s anything that requires him to get out of bed…but yhc digresses. For the record CP is of the opinion that arm thingy’s have no place in a TRUE F3 beatdown. There…it’s on the record.

On to the topic at hand…attendance was so light this morning that the RnG’ers managed a successful coup d’etat of the AO. How dare!! Tremendous nerve gentlemen. That said, Tigger managed to hold his own until the Q and BAM could arrive and provide re-enforcement.

Can’t say there were any happy faces once the beatdown began…it went something like this….

Let the men of F3 be willing to stand in the “gap”, to be leaders, to make a difference where a difference needs to be made:

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

Theodore Roosevelt
Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910

Closer took the pax out in prayer.

Aye!
