We were a small but hearty group of Borkstrom’s or Borkstrom want-a-be’s. At 530 it was Muck and I, but soon we were joined by Pac Rat and Gummy Bear. I felt like one of the family except I did not get invited to Michigan for the weekend. LOL.
We agreed Mr. Incredible is the king of low rep pain. Magic. We are not sure how he does it, but he always comes up with a move that sounds easy when described but is grueling to do. His Bear Crawl Merkincideis no exception (and maybe one of his most deceiving).
When we got back to the main lot and prepared to run lines, we discovered the Saint John Stabber had struck in the Troy Lot. Of course, Pac Rat found the evidence. Sleuth that he is. The mumble chatter quickly switched noticing the Optimus was missing. Hmmm. Then Pac Rat said there would be a new Pax next Thanksgiving. He said the Pax would be called Troy. And Gummy Bear said he would be borndoing the signature move of a burpee. I’m thinking his middle name would be Pac Rat. His full name: Troy Pac Rat Stabber.
Great work everyone. Hope everyone stayed warm and worked off a little of that holiday feast.
Prayers
For friends of Mick suffering heart issues. For a friend of Pac Rat. For Coors. And for Ginger Billie, his wife and their newborn daughter.
The Mick
