THOUGHTS.
- At one particular exercise station, Burlap said that people ask him, “Where are the stupid people in Winston-Salem?” He didn’t need to finish his thought. We understood what he was saying.
- YHC would like to humbly correspond (see what I did there) that since this was a WIB workout and a preblast was actually sent to the digital ether (yes, mind blown) that each and every PAX who posted knew what he was getting into. Furthermore, to eliminate confusion, clarifying questions were asked and answered. #NoExcuses #GameOn
- The Sky Q had something to say about our beatdown this morning. He picked the most opportune time to release the angels’ tears on us, just as we were lying on our backs performing abdominal exercises. Thanks dude.
- As the Q-for-the-day, I knew it was my duty to post. But what the hell is wrong with you other people? All I can say is that I was with 6 true #HIMs today.
- In between crushing the exercises, Sir Barney Arms – I mean Crash, offered many “helpful” suggestions on ways that I could “improve” the workout. Some were for the future, some might have been for immediate implementation.
- I think Cruiser actually enjoyed the workout. Or, his lack of complaining could have been attributed to extreme delirium. One at point, it was incredibly difficult for him to remember what he did two mornings ago. I think he offered up 2 alternate stories before deciding on the “truth” that he didn’t in fact post on Tuesday.
- I’ll admit, I was a bit overambitious with my goals for the beatdown. I had anticipated 4-5 rounds. Through super hard work, we all made it through 2 full rounds and were starting #3 when the clock mercifully struck 6:15. That crap was hard. Very important note: Sure, there were some (necessary) modifications, but exercise form was not too shabby. We also didn’t have to chase those win-at-all-costs PAX like VG or CP or LB.
- Burnsy unintentionally EH’ed himself into posting in the rainstorm. He was talking so much smack to Frostbite on the interwebs yesterday that all of his man parts would have been ceremoniously removed had he decided to fartsack.
- Frostbite was running his mouth quite often this morning. He was either trying to do his best Palin impersonation or he was attempting to distract himself from the pain train.
- Burlap will do just about anything to avoid paying for gym fees. Add this one to the list – posting to WIB in a downpour.
- I’m going to make sure this is captured for posterity. The Duck is ALL TALK! When the rains came down, he was nowhere to be seen. How was that warm, dry bed? Couldn’t find “the pants”? #Quack #LittleDuckEnergy
- Speaking of people not fartsacking, what does it take to make Mutton complain? Can we start a pool for the first Q that entices Mutton into muttering angry words?
- There was a bit of confusion as to who was Q’ing this morning. The Nantan was sure he had previously signed up – he probably did, but Site Q extraordinaire Dr. Canal posted a message on Slack last week asking for a WIB Q for today. Like the kids do, YHC responded to the message with a simple GIF expressing his interest. Although there was no acknowledgement from the dental expert, YHC assumed the reigns under the completely legit rule for anyone under 13 years old, “I was first!” This led to some tense (or the complete opposite) negotiations between YHC and the Nantan. Being a much more honorable man – probably the reason he’s the Nantan, the latter stepped aside and let YHC lead the men this morning. The moral of this story is … let’s all blame Root Canal for anything that happened in the gloom.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
- Cruiser needs a substi-Q for VI on Monday.
- Burns has the Launchpad Q on Monday
PRAYERS:
- Keep the West Virginia boys in your prayers.
Zima Out.
