- Phenomenal start and great numbers for an invitation only, short-notice soft launch to F3/Red Eye. I was concerned a one hour workout at 0400 might scare some people away, but I should have known better. This one’s hear to stay. Hard launch date forthcoming.
- Strong work by the three FNGs. Runstopper’s younger brother just moved to town and joined us for his first F3 tilt. Turns out Runstopper is the tall one in his family….#Lilliput. Wanker is challenging Bananas for the A51 EH title, bringing out his neighbor, FNG Rod Johnson. It’s hard to find a derivative of Wanker that’s family friendly, but we managed with Vas Def. Sounds like a rapper. Finally, Hops’ brother-in-law was in town from Salt Lake City. Had to be O’Douls (especially since he wouldn’t let us name his 2.0 that at the Rock Saturday). TClaps, gents. It doesn’t get easier–you get stronger.
- Kotters to Camel Toes. Last time we saw CT was during the (only-slightly veiled) Full Monty at the Rock with the tights sans shorts. No tights needed today as the balmy temps officially brings a close to displaced Yankees complaining about 36 degree temperatures. Until October anyway.
- Good job by Walking Farts. Might have been a little too enthusiastic on the Piggy Back Partner Planks…..”Recover” means get off (and it appears you were trying….just sayin’).
- Didn’t have time for the Chicken Fights. Maybe next time.
- Wanker mentioned the #treehumpers when recounting the SnowRuck tales so we gave it a whirl this morning. A slight burning sensation in the frontal region, but otherwise a fantastic full-body exercise. #neosporin. #keeper
- Nice work by Wanker and Joker joining me for the #doubledown at The Matrix. #raceseason
Aye!

TR that was a great lead. Well worth waking up for. Hope to see some more PAX out at official launch. Combining peoples chair with partner incline merkins made it great for both involved. Can really see that catching on…Can’t belive the hate from Cheesecurd – really think he’s just wishing he was the meat in our chest to chest partner race!
I’m w/ Cheese Curd on this one and will call BS! April Fools Day. The concept sounds intriguing, but some of the exercises and the FNG names sound a little fishy on 4/1/2013. However if this is a new workout it is CSAUP enough that it will do great. Possibly consider a different day of the week than Monday though. Even still until this is verified by Hops or Joker I’m calling BS!
You know growing up in Oklahoma and being one of four boys raised on a farm you would have thought that we would have been tall young men, such as the Bugeater – Cornbread, Nebraska types. No, we are little men, with fairly large…egos.
Webster, aka little Bro and his Mrs. were camping with us over the long weekend when I got the call for the red eye launch… so I did what any brother would do.. I head locked his short@## for the launch! Well since then, he has refused my calls and Mrs. Webster (a model he hooked up with online at http://tallchicksdigshortblackdudesfromoklahoma.com) told me he has also disappeared. She said he was mumbling about the Bum Scratcher and running down Providence in a wrestling singlet circa Ardmore HS 988. If we find him, I am planning on head locking him for the next red eye, even if that means that I will have to hog tie him and toss him in a duffle bag!
Solid work for all..
Seems like the April Fools were the ones who showed up at 4:00 on a Monday morning.
As for Bulldog’s EH, since TR wants to keep the Wanker theme going, I would have gone with “Stroker Ace” which also has a more benign NASCAR reference.
I’m still uncomfortable with Camel Toes though, whether on a man’s body or in the written word.
