– Great first-time lead today by Strange Brew. YHC still can’t explain what a pepper pod is, but we did em and we did em fast.
– Remember when F3 nicknames like “Red Warrior” and “Dark Warrior” were given without hesitation? Not anymore. Today’s FNGs better be prepared for something less flattering/manly… like, for instance… Mary Kate. Welcome to the team Mary Kate… we hope you live up to your name [whatever that means].
-YHC and Mall Cop were reminded of the laws of physics this morning, when I decided to jump high for the piggy back ride and Mall Cop decided to bend forward at the same time… we hit the ground very gracefully, and we might incorporate this movement into a future workout.
-Lots of rucks this morning, though Donkey Kong must have left his at home for the first time in a few months.
-Short Sale… we were thinking of you today. We know you will be back with us in the Spring, better than ever. We may even call you Six Million Dollar Man.

Yeah, I’ve never heard of a pepper pod before.
I really missed being with you guys this morning. Will especially miss the 2ndF every morning.
BTW, Six Million Dollar Man is quite appropriate. He was my hero when I was a kid. I even had his lunch box! For those old enough, e.g. Calloway, remember those stamped metal lunch boxes that we used to carry to school?
I would say that pepper pod nonsense was a soccer thing (run a bit, fall down as if injured, then get up and run again) but Strange Brew comes from a glacier 8 hours north of Edmonton. Maybe that’s how they sneak up on baby seals and club them. Savages.
Re Mary Kate: if you answer ‘Full House’ when asked, “What’s your favorite 80’s sitcom?” it ain’t going to be pretty. FNG Whitey wisely deferred when queried, “What was your favorite 80’s soap opera.” Well played.
