Exit Music (for a Beatdown)

Date: 2025-03-29 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: flipper, Mountain Momma, Wabbit, Floyd, Cottonmouth, taggart, ickey_shuffle FNGs: None COUNT: 8 A coterie of pax descended upon the hallowed Calvary pavement this morning to (i) get better, (ii) embrace the suck, and (iii) guess exit songs from movies from YHC’s dumb playlist. While the pax flawlessly executed (i) and (ii), some of the comments for (iii) left YHC wondering if he watches too many movies? But like, who hasn’t seen Heat? (Note to Floyd, you need to watch this.) Nevertheless, solid morning. The temp is hitting just right this year and if you can ignore the clouds of pollen swelling in your lungs, it’s a truly delightful time for a beatdown. To that end, the pax vanquished week 8 of Joe Daniels’ latest :rainbow: nightmare with aplomb. The “Pump Ladder Finish” earned its status as a final level boss – however, Mountain Momma’s creative method for tracking our progress quite literally put the knife through its dark, cardboard heart.
