YHC was looking forward to this one, who doesn’t love a well numbered date to tie into a beatdown!? Obviously 8/8 led to cRaZy 8s, the only problem was finding CrAzY enough exercises to do. And hey, why not go back to the Auditorium Hill… it’s been a while!

NMM

  • A great group this morning! Lots of MC, with the perfect balance of questioning the Qs sanity, but still doing The Thang!
  • The conversation started with home renovation talk, which YHC always enjoys.
  • Zima AND Root Canal both showed up on Spicoli Time (separately), but sadly Spicoli #fartsacked due to a day of the week mixup.
  • The Y had outdoor Cycling classes going on and the PAX noticed how much more enthusiastic the instructor was, and how great the music sounded… so an attempt to Excitedly call and lead Whirly With A Clap was made. It felt like the countdown from Dora The Explorer and therefore YHC sang “We Did It!” when halted. If you want excitement and music, you’ll have to pay higher membership dues!!
  • Buyout had never heard of Moroccan night clubs and was both confused and  enthused by the name.
  • Two guys working out on Yoga mats with kettlebells and music up by the pull-up bars refused to join us. Queue the PAX complaints about a lack of music… “Embrace The Suck!” YHC countered.
  • Zima and YHC used the roof of the shelter for Pullups, he made it look easier than YHC. All PAX rocked the pull ups actually, but Drip and Boo Boo seemed to be quite chatty during… YHC will assume they got done quick and had time to talk.
  • The PAX can thank those guys for us being short one Crabwalk.
  • On the way to the Auditorium, some PAX never been : “I have no idea where we are” said Boo Boo.
  • Drip: “Oh man, we haven’t been here in so long!” Great use of the AO he would later say. Site Q compliment = Day made!
  • Zima recalled memories of Thistle’s WIB (but not really a WIB) up at the top of the hill by the auditorium. We all agreed that we missed Thistle! We also wondered if he started F3 Laurinburg yet, but RootCanal broke our hearts by saying he was “one of those P90 guys now”… say it ain’t so!?!?
  • Palin thought we were just going to do 1000 Merkins today, he was very disappointed with the Mike Tysons and hill usage. He can join me for the 5000 rep challenge if he reallllly wants to do that!
  • Somehow the topic of Buyouts diet came up (likely due to his shirtless six pack), and how healthy he eats. To which he countered that he eats unhealthy in his country of birth, where everything is all deep fried and spicy. “Just like in the South!” “Where do you think we got it from?” Cheesesteak asked pointedly. Lightbulb moment for some PAX?    
  • Some form policing from Palinprotesting against bending over to touch his bootstraps. If you keep your head up and bit down it’s possible… and then there was Booboo’s dog, Picnic Basket, executing flawless.
  • Lambchop did not believe today’s date was 8/8 and had zero appreciation  the theme.
  • Dips were a modification from Derkins, only because YHC wanted to Omaha to a longer Crab Walk and make up for the one we missed earlier.
  • Zima threw multiple objects at YHC when Crab Walk was called. “Hope you enjoy waiting!” He said, before finally catching up to us and then finishing the Bonnie Blair’s before YHC.
  • Cheesteak had top form on the Bonnie Blair’s, with Lambchop (bear the bottom) wondering why The War Daddy didn’t have to get his knees all the way down? “He’s twice your age!” Nuff said, #Respect
  • Detour on the Mosey to education hill for Australian Mountain Climbers with the construction having the sidewalk closed. 
  • Let’s just say Cheesesteak made it look too easy and YHC made the second half double count. 
  • #TClaps to Cheesesteak and Root Canal for picking up trash in the parking lot before Mary. F3 is what we make it.
  • A great start to the day, overall, and YHC was happy to be there especially after missing the Truckstop VQ yesterday morning at UA (heard it went well though!) while off camping.

 

Thanks for the opportunity to lead, Drip! A pleasure to serve the PAX, and I thank you for the vital role you play as Site Q at The Mothership!
