We dodged the rain and got in another beating at the Skunk. Lot’s of characters out there today flapping their gums, playing bad music, refusing to run, and working out pretty hard in spite of the circus. Simba was impressive taking on the pre run, knocking out the workout, and finishing with a strong prayer to send us off. Well done. I was beginning to tire from the doubles only to find out I had almost nothing left for the second run. As Tackling Dummy noted on the way up the last hill…”this is all your fault Bananas”. Indeed. Sound off on any other shananigans and feats of strength or lack there of that you witnessed today. MEMO: If you didn’t at some point dig or pray for power, go headlong into a swing/snatch/press on pure faith, or wonder if you could do it then you need to move up. If you were throwing around two bells like Denise Austin with her 5 pounders at the beach then you are even further from the truth….you know who you are Ginger.

After YL me through Matthews on the pre-run I wasn’t sure I would make it through the workout. But this speech that Bananas gave really delivered.

By the way I not only blame bananas for the second lap, I also blame HH, who presented the excellent idea.
Meathead + 2 laps should be the BB title
– Bananas did the whole workout with pom poms in his hand
– If Pudding Pop and Mr. Brady ever hugged it out after a workout, it would cause a tidal wave of #gross
– Swiss Miss tried to talk to me at the end of the 2nd lap and I was not able to retaliate. He told me to use sign language, but I could only think of one sign and we were at church.
– Freedom immediately recognized the incredibly bad Steely Dan music coming from TRs car.
– As TR taught us in Q301 school, the best way to make new guys feel welcome at these workouts is to hide in your SUV-cave and play horrible music before the workout. It draws them in like flies (or does it).
– No takers on the Ali Baba granola factory. Still looking to line up investors.
I had a second lap planned but wasn’t sure if it would be before or after the next exercise. HH’s timing was superb so that I could blame it on him.
Forgot to mention that Tank resurfaced because he saw my tweet last night that it would be FNG Friendly and a walk in the park. I thought he knew me well enough to question my sincerity.
