ANNOUNCEMENTS:

• Choose your Saturday option wisely ….
• Greenspan says to go to Alcatraz on Saturday instead of Impossible Situation.  Actual quote: “If you enjoyed the 5,000 rep challenge back in August, you’ll enjoy Supermax.”  Just a hunch, but me thinks that Paul Windley isn’t in the marketing profession.
• On a much related note, Zima has the Q at Impossible Situation on Saturday.  We will be playing a game.  BRING A WEIGHT.
• Shmedfest: August 27-28.  One of the 4 workouts will be an official 5K using the Turkey Trot course out at the Fairgrounds.  All events will be at the Fairgrounds.
• Convergence at Hanes Park on July 3rd.

NAKED MAN MOLESKIN:

• Look at the assembled PAX.  Now go back and look again.  When I say that the MC was flying fast and furious from the get-go, I’m talking AK-47 barrage style.  Heck, it didn’t even stop AFTER COT!  My goodness!  There was so much, it even drowned out Mutton’s complaints.  Sadly, there’s no way I can do justice to the boys by recapping all of their material.  “That’s gold, Jerry!  Gold!”
• The group stayed together today and everyone completed 4 BLIMPS.  You do the math!!!  Need I remind you those were on Forsyth?  You know what’s not fun?  Running up Forsyth right after doing your 180th Squat.  #BigBoyPants
• Apparently proper exercise form is not included in the free version of F3.  Yup, I’m looking at you and you know exactly who you are.  Uh huh.  That’s right.  Nope, don’t turn your head.  It’s you.  Yes, you.
• Cherry Pie played the part of Cheesesteak today and made up his own workout.  The Q called for Michael Phelps, CP did Burpees.  The Q called for ISTs, CP did Hillbillies.  The Q for Merkins, CP did, well, something close to Merkins (ask Palin to explain where elbows should be during Merkins).  The Q called for Elbow Plank Jacks, CP had ramrod straight arms and his rear end arched toward the sky.  The Q called for Squats, CP did … God only knows what the hell those things were.
• Drip took much exception to the workout and berated the Q many times, all with a wide smile though.  I am so perplexed.  Was he annoyed?  Was he happy?  Was he complaining or complimenting me?  Arrggghh!?!?!  I don’t understand.  Stop messing with me, Drip!
• If you want to know when the proper time to replace an air conditioning unit is, Mutton says it’s about the same time that he has to pay the tuition check.  Hmm?  I need to replace my water heater which means I think Mutton is getting a boat!
• Palin claims he works out twice as hard as anyone else because he has to talk the entire time.  It’s exhausting.
• Not sure why, but the PAX seemed quite concerned with the financial wellbeing of our local barbers, opining that they may not be getting enough work lately.
• Spicoli thought running to Forsyth was excessive.  Spicoli thought the number of reps during the BLIMPS was excessive.  Spicoli thought running up Forsyth was excessive.  Spicoli thought repeating the BLIMPS up and down Forsyth was excessive.  The Q thought Spicoli’s mumblechatter while easily dominating the workout was excessive.
• Drip is imposing a statute of limitations on the Q using a surgically repaired knee as an excuse.
• There was a FULL complement of Chippendales during Nameorama!  #Sexy…Kinda  Where was the obligatory Spicoli selfie?
• Greenspan is a sandbagger.  I will not give him credit for his Sad Clown EC run beforehand.  That’s just plain insulting to do that and still breeze through the workout with nary a grimace.
• I’m going to tag in Palin and Drip on this one, but if you want better shoulder flexibility, you probably shouldn’t skip the shoulder stretches.  Just sayin’.

PRAYERS:

• For all those struggling with relationships.
• Cherry Pie’s family after the passing of his uncle.
• This country doesn’t lose the legacy of The Greatest Generation.

Full Minute of Silence.

Zima Out.

Lamb Chop, you pansy, the keys are somewhere on Forsyth.  When you magically get better, go ahead and search for them there.
