Our last day of freedom …
Date: 2024-11-05 AO: skunk-works Q: hoover PAX: Mountain Momma, header, Header, Spikeball, lois, stonecold FNGs: None COUNT: 6 Enjoy your last day of freedom, men. Tomorrow, we awaken as either fascists or Marxists.
Six brave souls gathered at Skunkworks to commemorate this last gasp of freedom. They were free from the shackles of endless Microsoft spreadsheet-driven workouts, at liberty to hear as many political ads on TV as their tolerance allowed, and fully able to accidentally answer no less than six calls per hour from earnest volunteers asking if they’ve voted yet. Those especially free banker types will get three hours to skip work today, tell everyone they “voted”, steal an I voted sticker and proudly display it in exchange for a free Krispy Kreme donut. You can just taste the constitutional republic being choked to death like that fried dough clogging an artery.
Others will celebrate their freedom by waiting in line for hours just to vote, checking email and Teams chats all along the way. Because nothing screams “liberty” like a three-hour queue next to someone passionately debating the merits of tax reform while “working remotely”.
And let’s not forget those final, unencumbered moments of reading campaign leaflets piled on our doorsteps like an unintended scrapbook. By tomorrow, no one will have to guess if a flyer on protecting the rights of free-range organic kale or aggressive coal subsidies awaits us in the mailbox.
So here’s to one last night of democracy, where we’re all equal… until someone starts bringing up the electoral college.
WARMUP: swings, IW, more swings, sharon towers, more swings
THE THANG: a medley of exercises that header loves, all one arm/single-sided. swings, cleans, up-right rows, OH presses, squats, carries, some EMOM work thrown in for good measure.
MARY: unlike freedom, It wasn’t her last dance, she’ll be back.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Veteran’s Day convergence at Freedom Park 0700. Mt Momma will provide the details.
Someone tell Lois that AC/DC’s “Let There Be Rock” was the song where Angus Young’s amp caught on fire when recording. He’ll need that for trivia tomorrow night.
COT: Header took us out, praying that Hoover never leads a single-sided workout again (RIP Header’s elbow)
