Substi-Q Zima Beatdown

QIC: Frostbite

Date: 04/08/2025

PAX: @BrownBag, @HotDish (WD), @Frostbite (WB, QIC)

As SiteQ of the great Tuesday evening workout, YHC has filled out the calendar well in advance and sends reminder texts to the Q usually a few days before.  For April 8th, I had convinced @Zima to bring the pain to the dusky #PAX. YHC sent a reminder text to Mr. @Zima expecting a response of “yup, it is on the calendar and can’t wait!”

Rather, I got a “F$%#, I see that I agreed to Q but for some weird reason, I never added it to my calendar. That’s really strange for me. Unfortunately, I am out of town and won’t be back.”  Classic. You would think the AI guru would have automatically added it to his calendar and set up reminders, etc.  Also, WTF is the academic traveling while school is in session?! Oh well, we sent out calls for Substi-Qs to no avail, so I took the keys from myself and devised a plan.

Actually, me devising a plan is looking through old backblasts from circa 2019 to see what tomfoolery you guys were up to while I was studying hard in university (I know you are reading this, @Starfish).  @Zima led a workout at #TheEstate similar to what we did, and the idea was born to mimic a @Zima Q in his absence but make it tolerable and actual exercises instead of combining three in one. And oh yeah, correctly do cadence. Here is how it went:

Warmarama:

SSH

IST

Whirleys

Abe Vigoda

Arm Swirlys

OH Clap

Seal Clap

Moroccan Night Clubs

The Thang:

YHC had 2 pieces of cardboard. We moseyed to the amphitheater area where YHC laid the first cardboard. We then moseyed up the hill to the top shelter area of Miller Park and laid the 2nd piece.

At the top of the hill, #PAX were instructed to do the exercise with the number of reps listed. Then we would mosey down to the amphitheater and do the CORE exercise. Next Round we would latter and add an exercise at the top. At the amphitheater, we would move to the 2nd exercise.

For example: R1 = 5 burpees x 50 Alabama Prom Dates. R2 = 5 burpees x 10 Bonnie Blairs (DC) x 50 Gas Pumps, and so on.

TOP of the Hill – Exercises

5 – Burpees

10 – Bonnie Blairs (DC)

15 – Mike Tysons

20 – Jump Squats

25 – Hand Release Merkins

30 – Monkey Humpers

35 – CDDs

40 – SSH

Amphitheater – CORE Exercises. All exercises x 50 OYO 

* Alabama Prom Dates

* Gas Pumps

* Low Flutters (DC)

We made it through 6 rounds of this before having to mosey back for Mary!

NMM:

YHC was joined by two #HighLife Regulars and it was a great evening. Perfect weather and Miller Park was bustling. Sadly, no one joined in on the fun, and my marketing job of posting flyers in and around MP/Ardmore has not brought any luck. They are still hanging up – maybe a little battered and bruised after the storms this week, though.

@Brownbag did not donate to WFU during their Deacon Day of Giving (DDOG) which is awfully close to another acronym that is not too popular right now. @BB mentioned that at least WFU is paying him marginally right now, and he has no plans on changing his address from his parents.

@Hotdish donates to NC State in the form of tuition. No benefit for him, though.

Speaking of @Hotdish, he now knows which buildings are actual bathrooms versus not, and which ones are open! You never know when the ole stomach does not cooperate. Been there, done that.

MC was great throughout the beatdown with topics ranging from how much is too much for WFU Touchdown Club tickets, International Cigarette Industry (for those wondering, RJR does not own Camel internationally, but we do own Marlboro in Canada), tariffs and the impact on the Shrimp farmers (?) in Alabama (the tariffs actually help in this case).

Announcements:

Next 3rd F Opportunity – Samaritan Ministries April 21st. 5pm-7:30! See @Drip or @Greenspan for deets.

Prayers:

@VanGogh and his family

@Bullwinkle as he recovers from hip surgery

YHC took us out asking for protection of newly planted plants during this cold front but thanking the SkyQ for the beauty we see in His Creation.

Pleasure to lead you all and save you from @Zima and his insanity.

All the love,

Frostbite
