I Got A Lot Of Problems With You People

QIC: Zima

Date: 12/21/22

PAX: Subfloor, Drama Queen, Adobe, Schlitz, Cruiser, Root Canal, Rubber Ducky, Spicoli, Workbench, The H.O.G., Zima

Festivus is almost upon us.  If you don’t know what it is, fire up the Google machine and immerse yourself in its lore.  For today’s edition, we will honor 4 Seinfeld-version Festivus traditions: dinner, the aluminum pole, airing of grievances, and feats of strength.

 

WARMUP.  

 

SSH.

Whirlies.

Michael Phelps.

Hillbillies.

Imperial Stormtroopers.

 

Burpees for our tidsoptimist friends.

 

BEATDOWN.

 

DINNER – 

Traveling

Run up the Hill to Nowhere

  • 10 Knee Tuck Burpees
  • 50 SSHs
  • Mountain Climbers for the six

 

Meal (by the light pole = aluminum pole)

Sit down on your six

  • Cirque du Soleil Abs

 

AIRING OF GRIEVANCES – 

  • Hold Plank, then 5 Merkins + 1 grievance
  • Hold Al Gore, then 5 Goblet Squats + 1 grievance

As promised, no specific grievances will be shared on this public forum, however the general topics ranged from traffic problems to family members to holiday travels to personal attacks on the Q (WTF?) to the practice of airing of grievances.

 

FEATS OF STRENGTH – 

  • Rotate the Head of Household and exercises
  • All guests exercise AMRAP with HoH calling cadence until the HoH stops
    • If HoH “wins”, guests take a quick run and do exercise again
    • If HoH “loses”, all guests run up the Hill to Nowhere and do 5 Burpees
  • When a guest hits AMRAP, hold plank or boat

 

Exercises:

  • OH Presses: led by Workbench
  • Merkins: led by Spicoli
  • Thrusters: led by Rubber Ducky
  • Rock WWIIs: led by Root Canal

 

DONE.

 

THOUGHTS.

  • 11 PAX posted in 23 degree weather!
  • Do not, I repeat do NOT, challenge Rubber Ducky to a thruster competition.  That particular LEGENDARY feat of strength will live on in infamy.  Poor, poor Cruiser.  It was a valiant effort, young man.
  • Somehow with a new baby in the household, Schlitz posted this morning!  What’s everyone else’s excuses for not posting?
  • 10 out of the 11 PAX thoroughly enjoyed airing their grievances.  The 1 who did not sees the world in much more of a positive light than the rest of us pessimists.
  • Workbench suggested going the full hour this morning because “we have nothing else to do today”, but he was quickly and vehemently rebuked.
  • This was an actual quote: “Van Gogh likes the thrusters.  You can impress him with your thrusters.”  You can’t make this stuff up.
  • If you have read about the real Festivus, you’ll understand this reference.  I’m going to rip down the clock on the wall and give it to Spicoli.
  • I think DQ got really excited when the Q mentioned Feats of Strength.  In Frank Constanza’s version, nobody is allowed to leave dinner until they pin the head of household.  Truly sadly for DQ, Feats of Strength were modified to rock exercises.  #SorryNotSorry

 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

  • Subfloor has the Mayhem Q next week.  Yes, you can air grievances.
  • Convergence + coffeeteria on the 24th at Alcatraz.
  • New Year’s Eve convergence at Hanes Park.
  • 9 Year Anniversary convergence at Hanes Park on January 7.
  • WIB will be in Brookberry tomorrow.
  • Gifts for anyone who posts to all 3 Zima Qs this week.

 

PRAYERS:

  • Offsides’ daughter and her ACL surgery.
  • Chit Chat’s friend’s cancer surgery.

 

Zima Out.

 

Workbench, I donated the keys to the Human Fund.
