Moe, Larry, Curly and Shemp

YHC tried to spark some interest for the Swashbuckler and made sure everyone knew they were welcome. I guess some, Pocahontas, were miffed they didn’t get a personal invitation. YHC knew the gazelles were laying low and was hoping to get one more than Reef Donkey got on Wednesday. YHC rolled into the parking lot to see headlights already in the parking lot, and found Squid already there. It brought back memories of growing up with a dad in the marines. He always said, “If you aren’t five minutes early, you are late.” Great discipline Squid. Blart soon followed and the five minute countdown started. A white truck rolled in semi hot and we all knew it had to be Pasqually. He wouldn’t miss a chance to hear a flawless mission statement. Nope, Holiday Mansion. He rolled in enough time to have an extended conversation about shoes with Blart. I think they are meeting later to search the entire Zappos site to find just what they need. Time was getting close but YHC was still hopeful of a FAT PAX member or maybe even a site Q…………..crickets. Squid thought the preblast about bear crawls and crab walks might have scared some PAX. 5:30 Mission statement, 3F’s, and no FNG’s. Disclaimer: Blart considers himself to be a rep from the FP

WARM-A-RAMA

Mosey to the far light post by the bus for SSH x 20, Sun Gods x 15 each way, Abe Vigoda/Windmills depending on your speed is what you can call them. Mosey to the other side of the parking lot for Cotton Pickers x 15, which Double Mint would have enjoyed if he was there, Imperial Walkers x 15 and Left over Right, Right over Left stretch. Mosey back to the beginning.

THE THANG

Starting at the first light pole do merkins x 15 SC, LBC’s IC x 15, run to the far light pole in the row and back to start, Repeat exercise. YHC had the PAX stay together for warmth.

Next pole: Plank Jacks IC x 15, Hello Dolly x 15 IC, run, repeat. I believe it was during this run, Blart was reminiscing about his childhood. He remembered when Batman would call on Robin to go for his bat pole. The conversation seemed to turn to a seeder side of Batman and apparently ruined Squids memories. Blart was quick to tell us about watching Batman in black and white. Respect brother, respect. Tell us another story about the old days.

Next pole: Alternating shoulder Taps x 15, WW1’s SC x 15, run, repeat exercise

Next pole: Mountain climbers IC x 15, Rosalita IC x 15, run, repeat exercise

Next pole: Hand Release merkins IC x 15, Squats IC x 15, run, repeat. YHC forgot to the Squats and Holiday called him out in it. Holiday’s words still ring in my ears from my first week. If you do it halfway right, it is still wrong. How true. Holiday did tell us it was Blart that caught the error but too nice to correct a fellow respect brother.

Mosey to the stadium bleachers and do one bleacher snake in honor of Lassie and then meet at the top. Calf raises x 20 IC-Heels pointed out, Heels in the middle and Heels pointed inward. GO HEELS! Sorry Madoff. Holiday was thinking back to the days when the bands were held at Shevans park and he would do them on the playground. Good times we had as kids, about a year ago. Mosey back to the parking lot.

Apple Turnover time. This was the most excitement YHC got out of Squid the entire morning. Then came the explanation. Bear crawl three line and turn over and crab walk three lines to the end of the row. Rinse and repeat coming back but starting with the crab walk.

Back to the last pole and work your way back with another round of each exercise

Hand release merkins x 15 & Squats IC x 15, next pole Mtn Climbers IC x 15 & Rosalitas IC x 15, Next pole, Alt Shlder Taps IC 15 & WW1’s x 15, next pole, Plank Jacks IC x 15 & Hello Dolly IC x 15, pole where we started, Merkins SC x 15 & LBC’s IC x 15. HARD STOP

YhC was glad he wasn’t alone today. It is always easier to Q when you have someone to give instructions too.  Thanks for beating the fart sack and answering the call to post. YHC can only hope we will be in Dipper’s comfort zone and we can all post. What are those you ask? I heard above 50 degrees and no rain. I guess some of us have standards.

YHC decided to the ball of man instead of taking a knee. We learned that you might need more people if we are going to do it that way. Blart and YHC knocked heads as they bowed their heads. Everybody was OK, it takes a little more than that knock to mess with those noggins. Blart was quick to point out “The 3 Stooges” reference, yes another black and white show. Once the swelling went down YHC took us out with thoughts for Squid’s gma and family and Life Alerts situation with his one year old child. Prayers were also given to the Palmetto crew for their safety. YHC lifted up F3 nation and the responsibility we have as men in this community.
