US History at The Sword

Event Date

Mar 11, 2024


Ping picked up a Viking Q last week so YHC needed to return the favor. Arrived at Lake Forrest to Ponch, Amen, and FNG-1=Aaron doing a standard. At 5:30 we moseyed to the back for warmorama.

SSH, hillbillies, toy soldiers, IST, slow windmill, long snappers. 

Partner up and grab a block for Dora. Out Cold rolls in to make a perfect 10 of us.

Partner 1 runs a lap while partner 2 does the following:
100 Curls
200 calf raise shoulder shrugs
300 goblet squats

Mosey to the wall for peoples chair, air press, touch them heels, praying mantis, calf raise. 

Mosey back for more Dora.
50 block swings
100 block merkins

Blocks back and head home for Mary.

During our time at the wall, The Force came up with a great idea that YHC was happy to roll with for Mary. With Out Cold fully becoming an US Citizen he would test the Pax American History knowledge while we passed Mary around. 10 burpee penalty for those who missed their questions. Questions asked included:
What are the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution? – Bill of Rights
What 3 main countries made up the Axis Powers in WW2? – Germany, Japan, Italy
What country did we make the Louisiana Purchase from? – France
If the President and Vice President cannot perform their duties, who is next in line for President? – Speaker of the House
Who was the first Postmaster General? – Ben Franklin

Surprisingly the Pax did way better than expected with these questions. Recover recover.

Moleskin:
FNG-1 is now officially Swiftie. Way to crush a standard on your second post as well! Thanks to AM-PM for bringing him out. Thanks to The Force for the Mary idea. Congrats to Out Cold as he was sworn in on Friday. You now probably know more about US history than 95% of American adults. Lots of QvQ this week. Tons of options so get out there and support your fellow Pax as they attempt to take down Omega. Chrisina Latini run this weekend. Sign up for the 2 miler or the 8K and Olive would appreciate some volunteers. Thanks for the opportunity to Q this morning Ping and The Force for taking us out.
