Date: 2024-12-14 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: voodoo, taggart, Unplugged, Emoji, ickey_shuffle, The Worm, Floyd, Omaha, Sweetchuck FNGs: None COUNT: 10 Although the allure of the fartsack was as strong as its aroma this frigid morn, ten pax chose discomfort and got better. Awesome to have Emoji’s neighbor, Sweetchuck, join us and great to have Taggart come in hot for another week. And, yes, The Worm’s triumphant return this week provided a shot in the arm for all of the pax to tackle, what a diplomatic pax would call, “an idiosyncratic weinke”. Armed with nothing but a clean sheet of paper, YHC went to work trying out some new combos and moves ‘for science!’ this week. All told, the weinke kept us moving and if you didn’t like one exercise, we quickly jumped to something else. Be forewarned, more wackiness is in the pipeline for next week’s beatdown – should be up-tempo and equally groan-inducing.
