The airshow story.

One hot day over the summer, Me, Stiffler, and Panda had plans to go to the airshow at Quanset Point for a fun day, or so I thought. On our way there, we stopped at dunkin, and I obviously got a large iced dunkin dark for the ride. This drink was especially good that day, the ice cold, perfectly roasted coffee was better than anything else I could have been sipping on, exept maybe water as I found out later. Well we got there and all I had left was a big cup full of ice with a straw as I looked for a trash can. We walked around for a while, Panda taking plenty of pictures, as usual.

After walking around for a while, me and Stiffler shirtless by then due to the heat, a lady told us that if we needed shirts the army was giving them away for pushups. I was intrigued and had to have a shirt. On our way to get my prize, we stumbled upon the rock wall, which I regletingly decided to try, I got up about a quarter of the way, climbing with pretty much my finger tips due to the fact that I have monster hands and the pegs to grab onto only accomodated not even half my fingers, so I gave up and repeled down, right onto my ass because I thought I was at least half way up.

After getting up and brushing off we headed to the National Guard stand so I could get a shirt. 20 pushups later, I had a brand new shirt that I never wear. Then, things started to turn for me. Me and Stiffler saw the NAVY SEAL Accelerator, basically a training course to prove your manliness. Well of course we went for it. Round one, as many pushups as possible in the given amount of time, 25.

Round 2, same with sit ups, 54, by Round 3, I am fatigued, thirsty, and had leg cramps. But I pushed on, after 6 pull ups I thought I was done, but nope, I still had to climb the cargo rope. After getting up sluggishly and back down, I thought I was going to die if I didnt have water that moment. We went to the nearest stand, payed 4 bucks for a bottle of water, and walked off. We didnt get far before I had to sit. My water had been diminished, and I fealt like passing out. Thats when a staff member on a bike rode by and saw my pale face. He then called some guy to come pick me up. As if I wasnt embarrased enough, my ride showed up, a nice John Deer tractor with a siren. By then I had lost most of the feeling in my arms and legs which was scary as fuck. after being laughed at in my makeshift ambulence, we got the the field hospital, where they quickly gave me an iv, and a gatorade to help hydrate my sorry ass, while Panda and Stiffler got to walk to the field hospital, laughing about my misfortune the whole way there. After my nice refreshing iv, we left, got me home before I could have the chance to embarrass myself again.


All because I decided to have nothing but a dunkin dark that morning, which did nothing but satisfy my taste buds and suck the water from my body. I guess im not cut out for the Navy SEALS huh?
