In anticipation of the 25th James Bond Movie YHC thought he would do a “007” inspired beatdown. The beatdown would also incorporate James Bond trivia in between sets (once again I thought the trivia was common knowledge . . . but there were PAX who never saw a James Bond Movie or read any of the books . . . really??). Last night YHC tweeted out some Bond Gif as a prelude, got the secret gate code from Humpback, and asked Brown Bag to put together a Hits list. I also let my fellow Hulkamaniac know that YHC would not be running today.
YHC arrived at The Village around 5:08 to find a vacant, cold, but incredibly well lit parking lot (T-claps to Vit. D for making the AO less eerie or as Hamburglar stated later as he ran past with the Hulkamaniacs, “Less Rapey”)***PSA*** don’t let your guard down around Hamburglar!
The Iron Flag was planted and YHC retreated to his truck for some warmth and to review his Wienke. At the 3 minute mark Boxcar, ERC, and Brown Bag all came rollin’ in. YHC was excited for the support and knew these PAX could handle anything.

COT
Announcements: Dragon Boat – we need rowers; Donate $$ at any AO to support Dragon Boat (give to AOQ); Elite Fridays begin March 13th at the Village
Prayers: Brown Bag’s Daughter, Sophia who is studying abroad in Sweden; prayers for Boxcar’s son who is recovering from the flu
Moleskin: Thanks for humoring YHC this morning. Apparently my common knowledge trivia is not so common. Maybe next time YHC will have to do “Saved By the Bell” Trivia which is probably more in line with the PAX age and useless knowledge.
Aye!
