Heartbreak Motel: The Manniversary that Almost Wasn’t

PAX: Paradox, Fence Post, America’s Best

AO: The Lion’s Den, 07/10/2025

By: America’s Best

Since it was YHC’s manniversary, I woke up extra early to get the field set. Ran around the Den to place cones carefully… and then waited… and waited… and then started to stop waiting. 5:15 had come and gone. 5:20 had come and gone. So YHC took a lap again, to pick up all the cones. By 5:25 still no PAX had shown. YHC saddled up and was about to make the turn out of the den when…

The lights of a truck flickered behind the Aldi… might be worth waiting to see if this was a HIM flying in late. Yes, it was Dox, screaming in like Skywalker to save Grogru. “Nobody showed?” he asked, “Wanna just go for a run?” Then moments later, Fence Post came flying in from Canal, like Lando Calrissian in the battle of Endor or a Colt 45 commercial. Now we could have a proper beatdown. With no further Star Wars references, and having already picked up the cones, YHC had to modify slightly, but there was no lack of impossible trivia, burpees or merkins this morning.

Worlds away, Yankee Jeaux snuggled under his covers.

Been wanting to get through some very difficult (impossible) trivia lately, so today’s questions would be open to the entire PAX. Unfortunately today that was made up of only two men. Fortunately, those men were not afraid of hard work, even when they knew the A-Team, but not Tag Team (They were back AGAIN, after all). BBS, Merkins, burpees, air squats, all interspersed with MOT like lunge walking and bear crawling got us successfully around the Civic Center.

Turning over to cozy up to his Natalie Imbruglia body pillow, TeraVanilli dreamed of Yacht Rock while we suffered, learned, and sweated. . .

Paradox prayed us out.
