The New Standard

The New Standard

12 pax de-fartsacked and showed up for a standard Salt Lick style beatdown. YHC discovered early that the use of language learned in his native state of Utah was foreign to others in the south. For example, it was normal to call a basketball goal structure a “standard” growing up. Confusion ensued.

Webster’s defines a standard as follows:

7. (Mech. & Carp.) An upright support, as one of the poles of a scaffold; any upright in framing.

Seeing as how YHC is a part time engineer as well, the use of “standard” appears to be an intellectually superior way of referring to a “basketball hoop support” as the instructions were referring directly to the upright pole that holds the hoop and backboard itself. Anyway, I digress….

Moleskine:

Many were sore from the Day Zero challenge on Saturday, so little hair o the dog was just in order. We tend to forget about soreness after a good beating (well until later in the day anyway).

YHC was recovering from a nasty cold and was unsure if the workout as listed on the weinke would get done. It did, and early which left plenty of time for some good ol Mary. Pull ups were a favorite and as promised per YHCs unwritten Q contract. As usual Lobster Roll made us all look old and slow. Watch those fragile egos there brother!

Announcement:

YHC forgot due to lack of O2

Takes a confident man to use “intellectually superior communication” and “stagger arm merkin” in the same writeup, but you pulled it off.
