13 showed up at the First Pres parking lot this morning, curious if YHC could avoid actually and literally flatlining at Flatline this morning. Cones were set up, speaker hooked up, tunes were played and 13 got after it, defeating Dr. Death aka Kevorkian once again.

FIN.
NMM:
Several, or at least @BAM, noted that YHC is a bit of a one trick pony by pulling out #TheKevorkian again, but YHC thought it was the perfect routine for #Flatline…keeps us moving which YHC thinks is the sixth core principle with respect to #Flatline. @BAM also accused YHC of recycling the playlist…there were a couple of new tunes added and a couple deleted so it wasn’t a complete rehash. Although there are only so many songs about death that one can take.
@Bevo has a stated goal of bringing a variety of Qs out to #Flatline. The unintended consequence of which is some old dudes and #Redwoods come out of the woodwork, like @Mutton, @Lysol, @Toto and @Spicoli. Gotta believe we had the highest number of #Redwoods out of any other workout on this fine Tuesday in the Dash.
There was also a high count of #BigTobacco executives and executives-in-training with @LambChop and @Frostbite joining industry veterans @Lysol and @Toto for the fun.
Pleasure to workout with @MichaelBolton for the first time. @Cheesesteak pretty much did his own thing like usual. @CherryPie got in a few extra burpees because YHC called Arm Swirly Things just for him. Couldn’t tell if @Zuckerberg’s glasses were fogged up or not, but certainly hope the workout was tough enough to do so.
As @Spicoli mentioned, it would have been really hard to get out of bed were it not for you guys this morning. Remember to make every moment, every hour and every day count since we’re not dead yet.
Your friend,
Starfish

Always a good time! And, as usual, just jealous of such a perfectly designed beatdown that it’s suitable for all occasions. Sort of like F3’s version of the ‘little black dress,’ except this isn’t FiA and this party isn’t that much fun.
And YHC hasn’t memorized the playlist, just remembers a couple of the “classics.”
And to be a redwood and also be expecting a newborn in January, and not be Frostbite should get Spicoli a special prize!
Starfish
Cobains for not listing @Frostbite as one of the redwoods in attendance. And @BAM is also sort of a redwood since he #fartsnacked the first workout on 1/4/14. So that makes 7 redwoods if we let @BAM count as one.
BAM
@Plunger has made it abundantly clear that YHC is NOT a 1st F Redwood, but he did concede YHC is a 2nd F Redwood – which is much more accurate anyway.
Starfish
Is @Zuckerberg a #Redwood? That would put us at 8…
BAM
Hmm, can’t remember, but don’t think so. He would have shown up late.
Starfish
Because I’m a dork, I checked the archives. @Zuckerberg showed up on Week 4.
BAM
See, he showed up late! Thought he was an ‘early adopter’ but didn’t ring a bell of a week 1 attendee.
