Life’s a Bench @ Purgatory

Life’s a Bench @ Purgatory

QIC: Zuckerberg

Date: 07/20/2019

PAX: Spamalot, Splash, Sgt. Schultz, Boomerang (co-WD), High Cotton, Emoji, Ziggy Stardust (co-WD), Zuck (QIC & WB)

8 pax showed up to #Purgatory despite guarantees of suckiness.  To be fair, given the humidity – just about anything would suck.  It had been over a year since YHC’s last Q @ Purgatory, so I had to brush some cobwebs off the ol’ Q-book but was ready to both try some old and new tricks.

All that said, this is kinda sorta mostly how it all went down and what the sons of benches did…

NMM

• Great, hard-working group out this morning.  Got a LOT of work in!  An honor to lead!
• References to ‘benches’ in pre-blast tweets as we spent most of time on lido-deck benches.
• The mumblechatter was early and often, including the following complaints re:
• …the number of burpees during warm-o-rama
• …the speed of Abe Vigodas (they were slow!)
• …suggestions of lop-sided karaokes and Apollo Creeds (though, the pax faced same direction down-and-back, thus working both sides equally, so although YHC heard, it was unwarranted and disregarded)
• …lack of 10-counts
• There were highly philosophical questions asked like “Do they really do Bulgarian Split Squats in Bulgaria?“
• Donkey Kicks w/ Jump may have been given a new name, but YHC didn’t catch it (Donkey Burps?)
• Evidently when you’re both the Nantan and Site Q, you have special exercise vetoing powers.
• Nobody could seem to recall who played ‘Apollo Creed’ in the Rocky Movies… pretty sure whatever we decided was wrong.  For those wondering, it was Carl Weathers.
• Someone (I missed who it was) asked if Apollo Creed was the Russian.  They’re lucky I didn’t catch who it was, or they would certainly be shamed here on the internet for all to see.
• YHC was proud to hear complaints from @Splash.  Makes a Q feel good.
• @SgtSchultz made his proclamation of ‘suckiness’ right around 7:30am.  All was right in the world.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

• Coffeeteria @ CFA
• Shmedfest coming soon… Saturday, August 24th!!!  F3/FiA Convergence the morning of.
• @Splash has Q in a couple weeks at @Outhouse – “There will be pain” – @Splash
