Balco’s Favorite Things

QIC: Balco

Date: 10/23/2017

PAX: Cheerio, Total Recall, Snooki, BAM, Litterbox (FNG), Snappy, Glazer, Floppy Disk (FNG), Light Brigade, Focker, Chisel, Touch-Me-Not, Root Canal, Swiss Miss, Hoptoberfest, Undertow, Huckleberry

18 pax joined together for three of my favorite things (however, NOT my 3 favorite things) this AM.  The rain held off for most of the fun.  As a 3x Wake grad I obviously have a special place in my heart for the Quad and Wait Chapel, which looked extra special with the fog/drizzle.  Although some feel that it is pointless, I still do enjoy running.  And of course I love me some burpees!!!  The rest was just filler.

NMM
1. Despite all the announcements Swiss Miss forgot he had a birthday.
2. Snooki needs help with his form
3. YHC has a love/hate relationship with hand-release burpees.  No way for the PAX to cheat on the merkin within the burpee
4. FNG #1 Todd Carrigan – PA at OrthoCarolina.  I mentioned f3 to him over a year ago when he first started working with us.  Eventually he showed up.  He has 2 cats so he is now forever to be known as Litterbox (or Litter/LB)
5. FNG #2   Stephen Wright – nephew of Light Brigade, works with computers – therefore Floppy Disk.  Apparently he looks like Ricky Gervais through foggy glasses from 20 feet away
