Introduction
It was a dicey morning showing up at Swift Cantrell. The Dementor’s were set to disrupt our morning of fun. Thankfully YHC dressed for such an occasion. The truck blocking our path was no match for the powers of Mr. Pink’s persuasion.
The Pax made it through the blockade and was delighted by the terrifying Beatdown that awaited them.

Bloody Mary was just as bad as you’d expect and it kept coming back throughout the relay. In spite of multiple “I’m not drinking that”‘s from the Pax, rules is rules and everyone got a taste of its terror. YHC figured there was a 50:50 chance someone would Merlot. No one did and so the Merlot award went to Spooner for the most complaints about having to drink V8.
The tomato juice must’ve gone straight to QT’s head because he kept going on about how we should try soup cans instead of bricks. Clearly tomato soup was on the brain.
In the end WallBall won Best In Show based on the correlation with his hospital name.
Fun was had, hard work was done, and much sugar was consumed by the young-ins.
