Moleskin:
Very animated and energetic group led me to get the group moving quickly. Less talking, more breathing. Appreciate the A51 support! It’s still a strange land for me and I look forward to working with my beat up comrade Bratwurst in getting this bad boy rolling. Sorry it wasn’t a bit more FNG friendly but I couldn’t forego the chance to show off the AO. I also like for the Pax to know they’ve worked out.

That has got to be the largest AO in all of F3. Crazy. 3rd lap was especially painful. Shout out to Outback and Geraldo for getting after it. Welcome to Steak-umm and Hot Pocket- good work gents. Keep coming out. And the pax must watch the following video on Hot Pockets: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N-i9GXbptog

‘Bout time Union Co was shown some #Re-spect. T-claps for a good first hard launch. Can’t wait to check out the new AO.

Loving the new AO, especially since it’s right down the street! Good job Bananas on the launch, I personally enjoyed the challenge. Going to take a while to master the internal compass when running all over this place!

Nice work Bananas – I think we covered a good distance – approx .00002 of the AO space. You’ve got a year of discovery to do to cover all the turf. Nice to get the jeers and heckles from the early morning tomatoes. I guess they’re going to have to find a new playground now that the flag is planted. Hoping for a Royals win tonight so Hops doesn’t Q hydra as a bitter man

Excellent Q, Bananas. The site Qs for this AO are going to be hard to beat: Bratwurst is perhaps the best technician in all of F3Nation. And Bananas is a hard-charging, snot-woggling, enthusiastic, tongue-on-the-ground kind of Q. Who could ask for more?

Only time I’ve seen this tongue-on-the-ground look is when he sees a Budweiser

While I’m not a fan of running, there is no denying that was a great beatdown. When you said we are running to the building I was not expecting to run past the first building! Then the Indian (Native American) run at the end about did me in.

Brutal, but great AO! The 3 AOs of F3Unionco are all expansive with a lot of options. EH other UC guys you know and let’s build this out!

Aside from Dromedary on Wednesdays:
Friday: 5:30am “Overdrive” Sun Valley M.S.
Saturday: 7am “Outland” Sun Valley M.S.
Saturday: NEW 11/15 6:30am “Commitment” Weddington H.S.

True that, Hair Band! These UC AO’s are vast like the Wild West! Thanks for cluing me in the night before launch. Great Q Bananas! You motivated me while listening to you grunt-it-out during the 25 man makers on turn 3. And trying to keep up with ICE9 was an eye opener. Strong work!
Who decided on “Dromedary”? I had to look that one up.

Dromedary was at least one of the 50 names that TigerRag suggested. Ultimately, it came down to Hump Day, riding something (like the Mavericks mascot where we meet), and like you noticed – it’s quirky enough that you don’t make the connection right away. If we all were as creative as TR…

F3/MeatFruit was an obvious choice and a sure winner. Also suggested:
–Queer Duck (maverick=eccentric=queer duck)
–Heifer (a lone, maverick cow)
–Bowleg
–Dry Gulch
–Lickskillet
–Tumbleweed (they almost bit on this one)
–Ghost Town
–Cowhorn (also the creek nearby)

Ice 9 and Snowflake weren’t having anything to do with F3/FreezerBurn either. You can lead a heifer to water, but you can’t make it drink…
