Half Calf, or “This is Your Fault”

YHC sneaked his way into another Conspiracy Q after kicking Turnover in the calf at last week’s Run ‘N Gun.  Some were surprised (Cherry Pie), some were oblivious (Snooki), some were indifferent (Razzie), some were there to be heard (Palin), some were incredulous (Frostbite), but everyone got their money’s worth.

YHC took us out.

NMM:

  • Very little (forward) running today which surprised (disappointed?) some of the pax.
  • Cherry Pie was just getting off the Asian commodities desk when he rolled in and proceeded  complained incessantly about being there for a workout, not a warmup, until we got to Brookstown.  He was satisfied with the outcome by the time we finished.
  • Frostbite was still trying to figure out how YHC conspired his way into his second Conspiracy Q of the quarter and was aghast when he discovered that Turnover’s story for stepping aside (bad back) was different than the one told to YHC (bad calf). Having been present at the moment of the calf crisis, YHC is curious what else TO (or one of his kids, or his M) has done to himself.  Frostbite basically banned YHC for the foreseeable future.  In other news, dear readers, if you need a substi-Q for your Conspiracy assignment in the next six months, I’m your guy.
  • Palin is finally going to see a doctor about his knee. Stories shared this morning included seeing YHC slowpoking it on Salem Parkway and seeing Mongoose flying down 52 in the past week.  The difference in those two stories is YHC’s 2007 Pilot and Mongoose’s 2024 Benz.
  • Razzie and Snooki rolled in on time and made pleasant conversation partners throughout.
  • YHC shot TO a text Tuesday night with a picture of the weinke and a “This is your fault” message.

Seeing as how YHC broke in this morning, you’ll have to check in with Turnover to get the keys back, Frostbite.  Lemme know if his story changed again.

Always an honor and joy to lead.
