Intro

Quick story because I don’t really have anything else to write here…

A good friend of mine, who at one time held a highly regarded position, was formerly on the Judicial Committee for Honor Code hearings at the well known prestigious institution of higher learning in town.  On one particular ski trip a few years ago, he kept using the words “bro” and “bro-in’ out”.  We just chalked it up to him being quirky and trying to amuse us, so we let him say it over and over and over again.  But late into one of the nights (probably after a few whiskies or beers), another buddy had had enough of it and asked him, “What the #*%& does bro-in’ out mean?”  The response was a story he told about an Honor Code hearing of a young student – let’s call him Fratty McFraterson – trying to defend his alleged Honor Code violation.  Fratty proceeded to tell the committee that, “… we were just bro-in’ out and …”.  When the female septuagenarian member of the administration asked him to repeat (and then subsequently explain) what he just said, his response was, “… you know, just bro-in’ out.  Like bro-in’ …”.  I’m not kidding.  That’s almost verbatim.  Ah millennials.  

Anyway, since that has nothing to do with the workout, here’s what we did this morning.

Circle of Trust:

• You had to be there.

Today’s Q’s Random Musings:

• YHC was/is humbled by the number of PAX who showed up.  Thanks for the great morning gentlemen.
• YHC jacked up the music to 11 in order to drown out the mumble chatter from the jackholes.  On a related matter, the mumble chatter started off very strong this morning.  Well played.  Definitely hard to #Qconcentrate.  Had to ignore most of the possibly backblast-worthy comments.
• Wink manned up and came prepared to show off his guns with the proper t-shirt attire.  YHC promised to make sure he was warm enough, so we began our morning with burpee variations (also served a double purpose of ceasing the incessant mumble chatter from the buffoons).  He finally admitted he was warm about 6:08.
• We can all thank Balco, who gave YHC the hurpees.  Wait … that doesn’t sound right.  He gave YHC the “idea” for the hurpees.  Yeah, that’s it.
• The playlist was fairly well received.  Something for everyone.  Landshark definitely approved.
• Tuco, aka Teddy Bro-sevelt, did not share any of his bro-tato chips or bro-tein shake, but smartly kept his chiseled six pack covered up so as to not embarrass the rest of the PAX.
• YHC HATES the formatting in WordPress.  It is god awful.  Can we please post all of the backblasts in Slack?

FNG:

• Mint Julep, formerly known as Bret Dickens, was EH’ed by … you guessed it … Toe Tag.  I’d really like to know what goes on in the ER over at Baptist.  I think that’s about 43 FNGs that TT has brought out from the ER in the last two years.  #RushChair.  Anyway, MJ is from Kentucky and can only run 7 minute miles for a couple of miles.  We need to get this kid on a training program.  The marketing minds connected “fast” and “Kentucky” which quickly led to horse racing, which many of the options centered around.  Thoroughbred, stud, mare, stud fee, gelding, filly, then to Pitino, bluegrass, adidas, bourbon, moonshine, etc.  Although our naive FNG lobbied for something with “stud” in it, the PAX would have none of it and settled on Bonnet.  Welcome Bonnet.
• Hold on.  Not so fast.  Later in the morning, the Twitterati awoke and launched a campaign to change our FNG’s name to Mint Julep.  Since the cement was not yet dry on the name (or the BB had not yet been published), the Q-of-the-day and Site Q allowed it.  Welcome Mint Julep.  For real this time.

Announcements:

• F3 Christmas party on 12/16 at 6pm at the Brookberry Farm clubhouse.  See Cobra for TSA pre-check details.  For those who can’t afford a day pass into Brookberry, you can offer your services to be a waiter.  See Toe Tag.
• The Singing Cowboy is collecting money for a gift for Zeke, the RHS custodian, who is retiring.  He often opens the gate in the gloom for the PAX.
• Resistor has the Q at Purgatory on Saturday.  Unless it snows.  Then he’s not sure if he has the Q.

Prayers:

• Lace took us out in mighty fine fashion.

Hey Cobra, the two members of local law enforcement at the side gate took the keys from me because they said I stole them.  You can pick them up at the police station.

Zima out.
