Full Cinder Block at Village Idiocy

Full Cinder Block at Village Idiocy

QIC: SGT Schultz

Date: 27 November 2017

PAX: Beast Lite, Drama Queen, Fingers, Goofy, Gepetto, Torque, THE Singing Cowboy, SGT Schultz

In planning my Maiden Q at Village Idiocy, YHC’s imagination wandered until I hit upon a theme based upon the classic Vietnam War movie Full Metal Jacket.  More specifically, the Rifleman’s Creed uttered at Parris Island in the first half of the movie.  Regardless of branch of service, servicemembers are taught to never leave your weapon unattended and never out of arm’s reach.  Translate weapon to a cinder block, and you’ve got some material for a decent workout, which went something like this:

WARMARAMA:

• SSHs x 15 IC
• ISTs x 15 IC
• Arm Swirly Things x 15 IC
• Seal Claps x 15 IC
• Abe Vigodas x 15 IC
• Whirly’s with a Clap x 15 IC
• Mountain Climbers x 15 IC

Mosey to the rear of the YMCA building (negotiating construction barriers to get there) to Ye Olde Cinder Block Pile, where each PAX was issued a cinder block of their very own.  Before getting down to The Thang, the PAX recited the following creed in unison while holding their cinder block:

This is my Cinder Block. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My Cinder Block is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
Without me, my Cinder Block is useless. Without my Cinder Block, I am useless.
I must lift my Cinder Block true. I must lift it harder than my enemy, Mr. Couch Potato, who is trying to kill me. I must outwork him before he kills me.
I will!

Having properly committed ourselves to our task, the following occurred:

• BeastLite and YHC had fun reciting our favorite lines from Full Metal Jacket as we ran along together, many of which come from this scene:

• The PAX decided that the rooster that lives in the back yard of one of the houses near the YMCA parking lot would not be long for this world.  It’s incessant crowing is intolerable!
