We will stop at every house

We will stop at every house

Another year, another request for the Holiday Tour.  This might be the 5th year (4th for myself/ injury) of this silly tradition, which is to get guys to come by the neighborhood and look at Xmas lights.  When in all reality, I just bring a bunch of guys to my house to look at my lights.  Since I was asked, I am happy to help.  S0 at 0559, I began to give the “here is what we are doing today…stay socially distance…blah blah blah”.  Then off we went.

Not Much of a warm up today as we had ground to cover and lights to look at.

The plan was simple (in my head)

Holiday Decorations: 10 Monkey Humpers

Lights: 20 Merkins (standard, wide, diamond)

Inflatables: 5 Burpees

I changed up the route and knew guys would hate the first street…a festive bunch of neighbors on Summerlin Place.  Once we made the turn, the complaining stopped and then turned to mocking all the “Atheists” that live on the next 2 fairly dark streets.

However, all was restored as we continued doing Merkins and Monkey Humpers on the way to the most festive house (IMO).  Once at Xmas nirvana (between my neighbor and I) I unrolled the next thang.

We had a centralized meeting point and each group (more on that) were to go in separate directions and do the following exercises at the turn around point:

20 LBC

20 Squats

and one of the following (either): 20 CCD / 20 Shoulder Tap Merkins / 20 Dive bomb Merkins

Eventually we all gathered for some Mary and started our way home.  We stopped several times for some sort of Mary along the way.

Back at the school, we did 5 burpees followed by 5 burpees to make up for the ones we should have done that I forgot to enforce.

Lastly, some Mary to Debby Ryan’s version of Deck the Halls.  Hold protractor 45 degrees then when she sings Fa,la,la,la,la,la,la- Flutters. When she sings Deck the Halls a little boat/ canoe, then resume flutters

Done

  • Not sure this group can could to 3, well Spackler refused and messed up the first round of counting, so there was that
  • When told to split up, the majority did not understand or choose to ignore, but most of the group did the 3 legged thing together …few others listened
  • Lots of “I will do what I want”…it’s your 45 mins, do what you need too
• I chased +4 guys back to launch Marge, Gummy, Proehl …maybe others- Queen & Brandi?
• Geraldo and Proehl were upfront most of the day.  Actually, Geraldo had to communicate my instructions to him as he kept pulling away
• Sorry, to busy looking around for lights and decorations to see what was going on behind me, so feel free to comment.
• In the holiday spirt of giving and receiving…I give you this back blast…I do not care to get spelling or grammatical corrections- Horse Head and Voodoo.. but thanks for hanging onto the end of this!

Have a safe and Merry Xmas!
