Where’s the Other Joker

Date: 12/5/22

PAX: Transcipt, Greenspan

Two pax gathered in the northern foothills of our great town to exercise and play cards outside Burns’s de casa.

Warmarama:

SSHs, Cherry Pies (get those shoulders warm), Up/Down Dawg and other stretches.

Mosey to tennis courts.

The Thang

YHC found the F3 card deck when cleaning up this weekend.  It’s been a minute since the deck was broken out, so YHC conjured up a variation of a predictable seasonal theme, the 12 days of Christmas.  Pax #1 would draw a card; all pax would perform that exercise x 12, run to the far end of the tennis courts, perform SSHs x 12, and run back to start.  Then pax #2 would draw a card, perform exercise on card #2 x 11, exercise from card #1 x12, and repeat the run to the opposite end.  The decks contains 2 jokers.  If the joker is drawn, pax that draws the joker can elect to reset the deck, i.e. start over, or draw a different card.  Exercises drawn were:

Side Lunges (12), monkey humpers (11), Romanian dead lifts (10), merkins (9), H2H (8), burpees (7), WW2s (6).  We got to the round of 5, but YHC’s memory is failing.

Mosey home as time expired.

Announcements & Prayer Requests:

None mentioned.

NMM:

  • We hit the joker early on, so early that YHC can’t remember the 2 or 3 exercises drawn before resetting the deck. We spent the remainder of the time hoping the next card would be the other joker so that our legs could recover.
  • We shared favorite BBQ places in eastern NC, speculations on how Burns was sleeping, and wondering what happened to the guys that used to work out under the picnic shelter despite being invited time after time (need Palin to HC them).

Thanks for the opportunity, Burns.  Keys were left in your chicken coop on the middle shelf.
