Not sure if it is more o2 dep or desire for PAX involvement, but we had a number of Stay-Puft moments today (PAX calls out the first exercise that pops to their mind – comes from the scene inGhostbusters on top of skyscraper where the head evil chick says that their next villainous opponent will be whatever they think of next and they all agree to not think about anything, but then around the corner they hear the thudding of the steps of the Stay-Puft marshmallow man coming down the street and everyone looks at Dan Akroyd and he says, “What, surely the Stay-Puft marshmallow man can’t be all that bad…”).

Best Stay-Puft Moment of the day was when Iron Mags came correct with the “Queen Victoria” during Mary – lying fully stretched out with arms and legs in a V, bring both up at same time and touch hands to feet at top…  Great exercise, fitting name and we are all glad that there weren’t any cameras around today.

Best moment of the day came during nicknaming of FNG Steven – when asked to tell a little about himself, he mentioned Puerto Rico and it instantly brought a flood of memories of a Puerto Rican with whom I played ball at UNCC whose name was Pino Papuan Pipes.  Pino was 6’8″ 320 lbs, half Samoan, half Puerto Rican and totally unforgettable.  As a sophomore transfer to UNCC, Pino showed me around Charlotte in his 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham that had speakers in it so big, my ears still hurt.  Pino was always into something and was an endless source of stories and entertainment, so it was great to be able to bestow his name upon FNG Steven – new Pino has some big (literally) shoes to fill!
