Without Disaster, Doomsday Clock it is!
All Comanche BackblastsDecember 21st, 2019
When the Highlands Master Q @disaster calls in sick the night before, YHC picked up the Q barely beating @Sparky on SUG. Then it was “Oh crap what am I going to do tomorrow to keep the PAX heart rate going?” YHC then inspired by the “Doomsday Clock” theme learned while posting @F3Chicago a while back. The PAX are now forever grateful to F3Chicago for introducing Doomsday Clock to MECA, or as some might say will forever hate F3Chicago for such an introduction. A full disclaimer was giving which YHC explaining that he was not a professional, even though wearing full F3 apparels this AM (hat, gloves, shirt, underwear, socks – ok last 2 are not true). At the request of some of the PAX including @Man Down, some of the disclaimer and instructions throughout the beatdown were done in both French & English. Due to the French Canadian references throughout the beatdown, Canada was also excluded from any liabilities during disclaimer. Following the disclaimer, we moseyed over to parking lot past the roundabout for warmarama.

By this time, the PAX were plenty warm and had a good sense of what was awaiting them. This was going to be a doozy. @ONJ’s grunting was already in full force and gradually became contagious since many more PAX joined the grunting during the Partner Beatdown below. YHC has no idea why??

Mosey a few yards to street intersection for Doomsday Clock Green Bay x49. YHC told PAX we were doing 100 reps. But the time we were at 25, the grunting had reach an all time high. Audible was called at 49 (YHC’s age) when all along YHC had no intention of going to 100.
Mosey toward rock area for Doomsday Clock. PAX were instructed to get a rock and get very generous on the size since we would be sharing. @overdraft was called out for basically selecting a “pebble” which he then upgraded to more manly rock.

- Oh what fun it is to do Doomsday Clock on a Saturday since it is a full 60 minutes
- We hope @disaster feels better
- Shout out to @ambassador for being a thru ambassador in our community by raising funds to pay for under privilege kids’ school meal debts. I don’t believe too many of us can imagine what it would be like to be a kid and going to school hungry. Even though the school can’t deny a kid a meal, what the kids with lunch debts are offered is a lunch bag which is different than regular hot lunch. What a way to add insult to injury by basically letting everyone around those kids know that they can’t afford their lunches. Let’s remember what the F3 mission is and let us step up and be leaders in our community. That starts by supporting local causes thru volunteering and thru financial contributions. Reach out to ambassador to donate and to also thank him!
- The Gremlin is coming upon us soon! Sorry about the lecturing this morning, but if you have not registered for the Gremlin please do so. @othello has put in a lot of time into this and it is for a great cause supporting the memories and the family of our fallen brother Gremlin. I can assure all of you that YHC would like the same support from the PAX for my family if/when it will be my time. I pray our heavenly Q that it will not be any time soon, but we all know that we will get there eventually.
- YHC had a lot of fun this morning both in French & English.
- During the next Doomsday Clock beatdown, YHC will bring in some geography lesson since according to @ONJ, everyone who speaks Français in Canada is from Quebec! Well, YHC is actually from Canada. Well, that is not a problem since everyone with an English accent must be from Britain! LOL
- The 1stF committee brought in some challenge ideas for 2020, and will kick off a 2020 challenge that will consist of PAX committing to 100, 150, or 200 posts in 2020. A pre-blast will come soon with more information on the challenge.
- Gentlemen, thank you for pushing one another this morning! It was an honor to lead this fine PAX
