Grinders
Twenty four mouth-breathers descended upon Carmel Park to kick off June by oozing DNA from every pore. Turns out running in to the workout is the norm at DMZ (upwards of 20 ran in? maybe 30) and they exhibit no shame in extended a sweaty-palmed handshake to those don’t. Only slightly less jarring than shaking a prosthetic hand.
The early birds, chin in chest and faces aglow from their phones, managed to scare off a cab at 0515. Because you get a lot of walk up traffic on Carmel Rd at 5 am. Probably thought we were an Uber flash mob looking to take down #BigTaxi.

MOLESKINE
- Thanks to Hops for inviting me out to Q DMZ so he could do whatever it was he did this morning.
- Exceptional efforts by our FNGs this morning. We were delicious to meet Pennypacker, a wealthy industrialist, philanthropist and bicyclist. The broker most likely sent him over. Pothole, a “City Planner”, was right in the meaty part of the bell curve today–wasn’t loafing and wasn’t showing off. Bypass sells artificial hearts and eats Junior Mints by the pound. Look for these guys at an AO near you soon.
- Thanks to Nash for coming out Heavy, a sure sign that he respects your workout. At least he left the ankle weights in the car to avoid the flagrant. #TwoShots&TheBall
- Abridged molekine: I’ve got to go hold hands with all the dental school drop outs so their buildings don’t fall down.
See ya next time.

I picked the right teammate. Jamboree, who broke his hand and has been on IR for about 4 years, did 72 hand release merkins while I did one round of grinders. He must have spent all his time on IR doing one handed hand release merkins. I can’t go that fast even doing cherkins.
Leroy showed up after Spackler and Semi Gloss talked him into it at the pool on Sunday. I guess those two (no where in sight this am) had enough Coors Light at the pool and forgot all about DMZ. Or there were just scared Leory, Kotter for about 2 months, would lap them.
That cab is always there at 5am. ALWAYS. Great names for FNGs.
It was great to see Hairball finally make it to a hard workout. Ditch the moderate stuff, like Day Nil, or whatever its called.
When we ran to the church and found the plates for hair burners, this was going through my head: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31g0YE61PLQ
@BW- After a night out with @LibatedCamel, I might would have taken the bait on that one. Clearly you’ve got your Saturday workouts mixed up, but I’ll save some fun for Friday night on twitter. I do like your idea of brining the plates to Muthaship though.
Wonder if I vom on the plates next time if @TR would just throw them away?
Bushwood, I couldn’t have said it better myself in the YouTube link. #classic
Definitely an unsavory welcome to June by TR, who never travels without those blasted coupons. And automatic respect for the trifecta of FNGs who picked a bad day to start the rest of their lives.
Agreed a well-rested Jamboree is a serious contender-
Toward the end of the workout I heard Hannibal checking on Big Stein, who came back to life when he heard the call to pick up a plate and carry it back to the car. As he gained momentum it hit me. Here is when Steinbrenner takes the disgruntled comments to a new level. Thankfully I took the plate for the home stretch before he had a chance to throw it through the back window of the TRuckster. He later confirmed that was the plan. Narrow escape.
