15 took the DRP and joined YHC for a muggy BD at Shadow AO.

After alot of grumbling about “where’s Billboard”, “I want Billboard”, “I was told it was Billboard”, “I was promised a record setting number of something”, and my personal favorite, “I told Billboard I would Q”, 15 PAX finally came to grips with the fact that they were getting YHC, and not Billboard. Then of course the jokes ensued at Billboard’s expense, “an ear infection, really”, “are you sure it wasn’t vaginal”, and “well, I guess he won’t be swimming at Big A’s on Sunday”. Finally, we got down to business.

Warm up:

  • Good Mornings (x10/IC)
  • Large Arm Circles (x12/IC – Forward and Backwards)
  • Imperial Walkers (x12/IC)
  • I think there was something else, but that was 12 hours ago now

Let’s roll.

The Thang:

Off we went, down the path, up the hill, left turn, down the trail, wait, I have never taken this bridge before, oh wait, but this one looks familiar, but this isn’t the real hill (hold on, why is Manhole carrying his phone and some cards)….oh wait, this is the real hill, what’s gotten into Manhole. Pause for the 6 (plank), Mosey on to the rear drive way of Austin (pause for the 6), and once the 6 was in, 10 Hand Release Merkins (OYO). Mosey on down the rear driveway, and to the back gate of the lot and on around to the front lot.

And then it was revealed, “THE DOD” (aka The Deck of Death). Each PAX, when you are called, will step forward and draw one card. You will then read the contents of that card and the PAX will follow. If it is an AB exercise, the pullee will call it out and Q it (IC / X25).  “Wreck-It exclaimed, “My heart rate is going to drop.” I think he may have changed his position by the end.

Oh, and every five minutes, the timer on my phone is going to go off and you will do 10 HRMs.

1st Card pulled by YHC, was in fact, High, Slow, Flutter Kicks (Q called an audible – from now on, all Mary will be X15, not X25 – lots of snickering). In any event, we went through the deck over the next 50 minutes. We also did around 100 HRMs. There were Merkins, Mary, some running, some calistentics, and other fun stuff.

CoT:

Seles took us out.

Naked Man Moleskin:

We name our FNG (Junk Mail). He comes to us from Alabama. He is a football fan and cheers for the Tide, though he did not matriculate from there. He is a direct mail ad exce. He has a wife and two daughters, and is a neighbor of and recruited by Suds.

We were all happy for this evolution to be over and look fondly forward to the time when Billboard is actually going to Q.

Cherokee, Growruck, September 9th-11th. There was a post in Mumblechatter on Slack about it. Would be nice for F3 Atlanta to support. Sadly, i am out that week, with my M travelling and me being stuck on dad duty.

Wildcat needs a Q on the 18th. Hot Tin Roof needs a Q on the 10th, 13th and 17th.
