Is plagiarism always wrong? It was this time!

PAX: Cobra, Zima, Light Brigade, BAM, Cherry Pie, Cheesesteak, Burns, Screech, and Thistle

As my date to Q The Estate approached, I remembered a painful Monday at The Outhouse a few months ago.  However, I must not have remembered it well enough, because I thought recreating it would be a good idea.  So to reward the PAX who ventured out into the dark and braved Florence’s gifts, I shared with them the love I stole from Cobra.  I definitely was “Lookin’ for love in all the wrong places” – let me give credit to Johnny Lee, a la Urban Cowboy, so I do not plagiarize again.

I also wanted to make the normal young guns of The Estate work a bit, so I chose a damp and dark field to introduce them to the Grim Reaper.  After the perfunctory Warmarama, we moseyed to the watery pitch.  The MC was music to my ears – BAM and Zima were their usual sweet and understanding selves (Zima had already completed a Murph at his house before he pulled up in his new BMW).  Cobra may have piled on, but except for a few tweaks, this was his idea.  Even Cherry Pie developed an attitude, but it was similar to Mister Rogers slamming his hand in the car door, so really indistinguishable to the naked eye.  Light Brigade, Burns and Screech went at it with quiet determination.  Cheesesteak still did every exercise with perfect form – he kinda scares me.

So we divided into two groups and completed most of the 4 stations.  One OCD PAX is still upset we did not complete all the exercises at the last station – “Lighten up Francis” from the movie Stripes – it’s the plagiarism thing again.  We did each station in our group and move a few meters to start the next station.  You know it will be tough when running a suicide or separator is your “break”.

If communal pain and suffering develop male community, then I am as close to these guys as I want to get.

Announcements:

3 CSAUP “opportunities” coming up – see Palin, Huckleberry, and Van Gogh if you’ve lost your mind.

Cherry Pie has a table for the Samaritan’s Inn breakfast fundraiser on 9/27, “Sam and Eggs”.  See him for details.

Guys – it was an honor – thanks for humoring an old man.

Huckleberry – take your metal detector, the keys are buried in mud and water somewhere at Reynolda Village.
