Operation Fall Break

Alright men (and women-- equality, yo) Operation Fall Break commences in less than 10 hours. It's time to review the objectives of our mission. Pay attention because this next week might just be the most important of your life

Phase One: Whoville


Location: Zermatt, Switzerland


Objectives: 

- Hike on the trails of the impossibly beautiful, snowy alps (note: do not get distracted by the impossible beauty. This is not a "vacation," you are not to appreciate "beauty," or "have the time of your life"

- Eat fondue; potentially the alleged "champagne fondue" referred to by an online restaurant menu, more to follow on this matter


- reference How the Grinch Stole Christmas as much as possible. If snowfall occurs, the Who's Christmas song is not suggested, but required (note: Agent Stephens, if you still haven't memorized it by tomorrow, don't bother coming). 


Phase Two: (the) Waffle ('
s original) House

Location: Brussels, Belgium 


Objectives: 

- Eat ourselves into a waffle coma. Multiple times. 

- Visit at least one palace and then claim it in the name of your commander (i.e. me). 


- Eat more waffles. 


Phase Three: Le Retour à Paris


Location: Paris, France


Objectives: 

- Get lost in the gardens of Versailles. I know what you're thinking. The words "get lost" might seem counterproductive to the mission, but....okay, sure, this part is just for us. Agents need to have fun too. 

- As per custom with operations at this sight, order then consume French Onion Soup (note: it will be referred to as simply Onion Soup on menus). 


- Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT spend the hours of 2 am-5 am being unable to return home one night. This was not a productive experience in the original mission at this location. 

We will regroup sometime between the 16th and 18th to evaluate the success of our mission. 



p.s. Against all odds, the Lilting Banshees are still being completely hilarious without me there to contribute ("Hey guys! What if we do a Disney sketch??!!"). Watch and laugh: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4puv0SkzTGA


p.p.s. Yes, all the phases include something about food. I recognize it, but I don't regret it.
