Merkin Madness
All Rolling Stone BackblastsOctober 1st, 2019
rolled into the Odell teacher Lot at 0525 to set up some props for today’s beatdown to find a full blown stake out by 2 of Cabarrus County’s finest. They paid me no attention as I feel they were there for a bigger fish with a faster car and a heavier foot. Returned to the bus lot to find 7 of the finest Pax in the Meca Region ready for the festivities of the day. 0530, disclaimer, mosey toward the front entrance and the fuzz

Mosey to the front with some high knees, butt kickers, toy soldiers, Pox stretchy thing, and karaoke.

The Thang
Merkin madness is the name , pain was the game . line up near the light post on the far end of the lot. 18 lines in the lot were our target. run to line 1, 1 merkin, return to start and then to line 2, 2 merkins, return to start, then to line 3, 3 merkins…etc until all 18 lines had been eclipsed.. Cones were placed, not as neat or as straight to the PAx liking, every 5 spaces only as an aid for counting. Apparently my directions were not as clear or the Pax have a listening/paying attention problem. Some hiccups to start us off, but all got in line. It crossed my mind to ask for a stun gun from one of our newest fans but figured the BD would be painful enough. with all 18 lines complete and 171 Merkins under our belt we moved on to the next phase
Thang 2
Burpee tag. Partner up. P1 runs while P2 drops for 2 burpees and then catches P1 to switch. I believe we made it 3 laps each. Word to the wise, Soprano knows one gear and one gear only. Great for a Dora but bad for a Burpee Tag!!
Thang 3
- The collective poor form of the Merkin Ladder or the speeding of Soprano didn’t shake the cops. they were truly holding out for something big, or perhaps asleep. We broke into 3 groups with a group at each end of the lot and 3rd as running timer to relieve group and send off to relieve other. 3 rounds each

- Great work by all. That Merkin ladder took its toll as it rolled along. Manwhich and Soprano just killing it on the sprinting. Lucky for us MC didn’t show and cops along with the rest of Moss Creek were able to sleep peacefully throughout the entire beatdown.
