The Thang:
Here’s the deal: The PAX is split into 2 teams, each competing to be the first to bring back 6 historical figures.
To get them, they must mosey the circuits of time (those new streets) and knock out some reps at each station.
If you can identify the historical figure by the associated exercise, you mosey back. If not, take the MOT penalty back.
So roll that die to see which number you get to run to. And if you’ve already been to that number, stay in San Dimas, do some Smurf Jacks or No Surrenders or LBCs with Napoleon and then roll again.
Station 1: Wood Choppers. For Abe Lincoln, understood by all, no lunge walking.
Station 2: Colt 45s. Both teams easily got that this was Billy the Kid, so nobody had to Broad-Jump-Burpee back
Station 3: Nutcrackers. Popeye, drawing strength and wisdom from the tickets, came through for team 2 with Freud. Not sure if Team 1 crabwalked or not.
Station 4: Gadfly’s. Just regular flys, but who knew Gadfly was Socrates’ nickname?
Station 5: Curb Alpert. Apparently, no PAX present has ever heard of Herb Alpert, so the music connection was not made to Beethoven. MOT back was caterpillar.
Station 6: Apollo Ohnos. Although separated by time and space, Goose and Pope each wisely guessed that this was Socrates. And it should be. But, as he said, “The only true wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing.” So stop being so smart and thinking so much. The actual answer took no deep thought, just the superficial (and somewhat racist and offensive) fact that Genghis Khan was also Asian. Sorry, dudes, but history is not woke. So we all Dragon walked.
With only a minute left, team 1 took the win. Team 2 was most non-triumphant, still moseying back from their final station.
We’ve had many excellent beatdowns, but none as bodacious as this.
Circle OT and Goose prayed us out.
Catch ya in the gloom,
AB
