Remembering Goofy at TRQ

Remembering Goofy at TRQ

QIC: BAM

Date: 06/09/2022

PAX: Mongoose (WB), Green Acres (WD), Root Canal (WarGimp), Argyle(WarLate), BAM (Q)

When YHC got the sad news we had lost Goofy (to a Covid exposure), and a substi-Q was needed, YHC got to work on a beatdown that would celebrate and help us remember our long lost friend. (until he’s out of quarantine and posts again)  It feels like we have suffered enough, and then this cruel twist of fate to have our brother taken from us (so he could fartsack), before we got to tell him how we really felt about him!

Clearly the grief that fell over all of Dashpax-land was thick based on the light turnout this morning.  But 4 other hearty souls drove, jogged, and limped into the gloom to help remember the man we knew as Goofy.

Our brother Starfish is famous for his playlists based on songs from a particular year.  (or at least to those of us who come play pickleball), so YHC thought he would give it a try and then ask the pax at the end if they could guess the year.  (that’s called a teaser, answer will be revealed later)

Hatching a beatdown worthy of a man like Goofy isn’t easy, mostly because his form is so poor, not sure what exercises to call.  But alas, YHC refuses to speak ill of the nearly departed, as tempting as it may be.  So a plan was hatched.

Warmorama

• SSH
• IW
• Copperhead Squats
• Whirly is clapping
• Tempo Merkin

Pax then sauntered over to the flagpole area, just as Goofy used to do it. (before he was exposed to Covid)  It was there, gathered around the symbol of our nation that the Q shared how much a particular workout YHC had Q’d was loved especially by Total Recall.  TR even brought it up recently, still thankful that he was pushed mentally and physically that day in ways he didn’t know were possible.  TR said that particular workout changed what he thought of F3, YHC, and made him a better father, husband, and son.  The Q decided to just give a taste of this fun and called for 100!

• 100 Merkins
• 100 Squats
• 100 WWII

From there, pax lunged, Apollo Creeded, and walked to the rock pile.  (mostly to avoid Mongoose getting too surly about not touching rocks at a workout that is called The Rock Quarry – just like KFC, but different)

It’s a little known fact, when Goofy qualified as 3rd alternate in badminton for the ’84 Summer Games in LA, he traveled across the globe to study under Dr. Tabata.  Goofy has told the story, with a single tear rolling down his cheek, when Dr. Tabata looked at the then spry and youthful 34 year old Goofy, and simply said to him, “Young man, you have got it.”

So, we replicated the exercises that led him to glory and caused a young Gina to fall in love with him.

NMM

• To no one’s surprise, Root Canal likes cartoon movies, some pax were interested to learn that I Like to Move It, pre-dates Madagascar
• Root Canal was very helpful informing Green Acres about some of these “new” songs he hadn’t heard before
• Mongoose actually smiled when Gin & Juice came on.  Seriously, we saw teeth and everything!
• Argyle is a closet extraterrestrial brother and George Clinton fan (Bop Gun is originally done by the grandmaster of funk)
• 1994 is the year these songs were released. The year YHC graduated college
• Mongoose realized he was getting older, because he thought Regulate came out around ’91, when he was in high school.

Prayers/Praises

• Root Canal being able to join us!  First time driving since surgery
• Continued healing for our large legged brother
• End of school
• Mongoose house reno getting started and that his home doesn’t have too many “Ardmore surprises”
