Embrace the Cold Big Ball
[LOOKs like we are still banned from adding images, so google “Tongue stuck to a pole” for the image that would be embedded here].
The bravest of the brave arrived in the Carmel parking lot for their final workout prior to being iced into their homes. 10 pax peeled themselves out of their seat warmers to discover that Agony was on the Q and as the disclaimer clearly states, “not a professional.”
Lining up, the 10 PAX proceeded to run the fabled Indian Native American Guy-in-the-back-runs-to-the-front Run. However to add a bit of a twist–literally–an 18lb medicine ball was passed back, and then the man in the back sprinted to his front carrying this ball.
After surveying the course at Church at Charlotte, the PAX entered the hallowed courtyard to warmup (SSH and Mtn Climbers) and begin the #OldHundred with a sprint around the Church between each round, which at one point it was mandatory that you carry the big ball.

Moleskin:
Though there were a few bankers and econ majors among the PAX, counting seemed to a bit challenging. Plus it limited the mubblechatter. Though we did discover a new tag line for Waypoint, “Don’t do what I say, do what I meant to say.”
Much of the hot air was used on debating the naming of Big Easy or Who Dat? In concession as he seems to gravitate to BigEasy, I do declare that during the name-o-rama, the PAX must respond to Big Easy with a “Who Dat?” call.
Glad to see my EHs of two new FNGs were completely disregarded as they continue to fartsack.
With the dedicate crew of 10 PAX appearing in 25 degree weather, I am wondering if the #Ferns give out little hand-warmers with their free lollipops.
Hops closed us out with a strong prayer–impressive recall of the PAX facing challenges and in need of prayer.
PS-Property Committee at Church at Charlotte you all have a slight slope in the foundation that rolls the big ball into the Q as he does his LBCs.

That one snuck up on me and hurt at the end. The culmination of running around church with the medicine ball (I think Spackler hid it in the monkee grass on his turn) and the 40 jump ups was enough to crush my legs. Great routine – will add that to my Weinke.
I agree on the poor math skills or else some of the un-named PAX (see above re monkee grass) took a lap (or 2) off. Even my form lookded good compared to a few of the refusniks’ this am.
Whoa Whoa Churpee aka Clemtot. For the record, no laps were skipped today. Just glad when it was my turn to carry the big ball that it was on the short run. And actually mine was even shorter as I had to steal it from Bug 1/4 way who was taking it for a 2nd loop.
And please don’t flatter yourself, your form never ‘lookded’ good today. You did look very much like Semi Gloss though in your attire today. So you have that going for you.
Great work Agony. Very poor decision not to include monkey humpers in your routine although I’m sure the security cameras at the church appreciate it.
Thanks for forgetting me in the pax list Agony….that hurts….actually, I just showed up for COT. Heard it was a good workout.
Seriously, that was a solid Weinke. I refusedniked the big ball after the 100 squats – ran right by it.
Spackler and Kirk added insult to injury with the #cropdusting. #coloncleanse
Clearly, Who Dat Big Easy needs to be renamed. Thoughts?
His 1st post was DMZ last week and he was named Who Dat. Not sure how he got renamed but that is ludicrous.
According to the urban dictionary on ‘Who Dat’: In late 2009, a man by the name of Cracka Trax Ft. Dat Boi Pantha sings the song “Who Dat Say Dey Gonna Beat Dem Saints”
If we don’t keep his original name, Who Dat, then our only choice is to go with Cracka Trax. And being that I was the Q on his 1st time out, I think rules indicate that it is the call of #tSpackler
Wow–almost more comments than PAX posting!
I see since we couldn’t mumblechatter while counting we’ve decided to take it digital.
Aye…Cobains Hops on the name drop. Sorta ironic with my devotional from last week 🙂
2) Big Easy just keep posting and bolding proclaiming the self-selected name. Crotch Rocket and Assless Chaps may have some advice on that.
And the deep philosophical question: if no one else is there to see the Q Q jack the Q, did he really?
We may need to put Sherlock Holmes on this case. Last Wednesday at The Charge we had the pleasure of working out with Big Easy aka Who Dat? He was — apparently — mistaken for an FNG that day… so we named him… Big Easy.
Let me check the rule book on this scenario…
OK… turns out that section 12.d(1) of the bylaws [also known as the Wanker aka Bulldog section, or the “Conflation Clause”] says that, “A member of the PAX shall never – under any circumstances – rename himself, but in the event that a previously named PAX is mistaken – in good faith – to be an FNG, the most recently given F3 name shall be applied, for eternity.” So, I guess it stays as Big Easy.
How did you conclude the confusion was “in good faith”? I think the lawyer for Crotch Rocket, Assless Chaps, and a few more tried to argue that and obviously were shot down. Cracka Trax is good or Nibbler can finally get his wish with someone being named Porno.
However, Who Dat, Big Easy, or whatever his orignal name was seemed like a good guy and I vote to stick wtih “Big Easy” followed by the PAX calling out, in unison during COT, “Who dat”.
This is one heckuva string here. I think I will stay clear of the what are we gonna call this guy banter.
With no bb mention of my wandering into the workout at about 0535 I am left thinking Agony is like the teacher who ignores what is going on in the back row. At least Chelms called me out and told me to run a lap with the medicine ball.
Great Q Agony. No idea it was even cold Monday.
