Moleskine:
Nice to get the Q again at Dromedary. This has become a tough group so I wanted to bring the pain and hope it worked, it must have because I usually hear a little more chatter from the likes of Crabcake. I now have a theory that little 3 inch squats instead of full squats make you faster? Seems to work for Ice and Brat. Big Tuna showed up and worked his tail off out there today as did Grease Monkey. I didn’t see anybody taking plays off and I appreciate you guys allowing me to lead you into the day. Thanks to Nutter Butter for a great prayer to take us out and good to see you back in action.

“Lifting rock” does not equal “rock to run with for a mile”. Felt like it was a bait and switch. Pure Bananas shenanigans. That’s why we like it.

Also turns out I found it very difficult to Squat low with rock extended straight overhead – don’t have that kind of flexibility.

“My name is Bananas. First I will trick you into a boulder while I quietly put a pebble in my pocket. Then I will make fun of you for not being able to squat it like I do my pebble.”

Dude, excellent Beatdown of which I thoroughly approve. But: Revenge will be mine.

Nice Q Bananas. Solid beat down. I would had more to say if I wasn’t carrying a boulder, unlike the pebble you had. Hot, humid, running and boulder do not mix well.

Sorry, bro. It looked like a pebble, and Dasher says it felt like a pearl. A hollow pearl.

I’m afraid the meatheads may not accept you back.
