QSWAP DAY 5: UTI ….. FOREVER MORE….

A pre-blast was sent to Carpex and South Wake looking for support for the to-be Q at Dazed and Confused.  With the numbers that these two regions have the potential to bring, YHC thought this was an appropriate time to swallow his pride and make the request for a name change.  I know… I know… I’m Good Enough, I’m Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!  But if there was ever a time to get the votes I needed, it would be today.  And hey, I’ve heard some of the mumblechatter about South Wake naming.  Peeping Tom’s name got shortened to PT when he moved to Carpex – Carpex will be sympathetic to my plight…. right?

1000 HCs were requested, the votes came in…

Carpex –

  • 10 HCs
  • 4 Laughed with me (I think)
  • 1 SC
  • 2 “Peeing” emoji – inappropriate!!!  EXACTLY THE SORT OF THING I’M TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM!!!  Calm…  Calm…
  • 1 “No Entry” emoji – I assume this just means no, I’m not trying to enter anything…  Minds in the gutter in this region…

SouthWake

  • 8-ish HCs
  • A whole bunch of protests –  “We Love You UTI… Never change..” stuff like that
  • A threat that I would be “Getting an English Ripping” – Australians… Am I right?

As 187 commented on the pre-blast, “UTI ….. FOREVER MORE….”

***I had no intention of changing my name.  Do we even have 1000 PAX between our 2 regions?  If 1000 had HC’d or shown up I might have had to change my name… I mean that would be some vote!  This exercise was for fun and a mockery of those posts you often see out on the social medias.  I scouted the FB pages of some of my elderly relatives for research and treaded lightly around the ones that focus on serious illnesses.  This was my inspiration 😀

*Flaw in the structure of this, should have created groups of 3 and had them split up into 3 stations, continuing the rotation as a team of 3.  T-claps to Shut-In and other PAX that started calling out group numbers as they got to their new stations to help keep everyone moving.  Lesson learned for next time 😀
