8 pax gathered in a misty fall #gloom- perfect weather for a buffet o’ pain at the Golden Corral.  With no Q in sight Jekyll takes the conch first but soon followed by the likes of LEGOLAND, Cornhole and 8 minutes of Mary that gave all a shot to call out the pain.

The Thang-

Mosey to back of HT

COP- SSH, Merkins, SSH, Squats

partnered Wheel Barrows, burpee broadjumps

LEGOLAND: Kareoke, high knees, butt kickers

Cornhole: Wallsits, BTTW, Wallsits, BTTW

Mosey to jiffy lube wall: dip, derkin, step up series

bear crawl, crab walk series

dip/derkin series

calf raises

8 min of mary

If you read this far, you now know that the Q was supposed to be me…Hey! good news is I was there, right?

NMM:

ESPN #theocho was the count today.  Solid full body beatdown that hit all the parts.

  • Great to see Lil E this morning.  Sir Tophamm EH’d him back into the fold, I believe.
  • Don’t mess with Fish Stick’s rain jacket.  He’s killed for less than that.

Discussion in COT about being vigilant and stepping up our game when it comes to the internet and other avenues of inappropriate activity/porn at the finger tips of our kids.  It aint like when we were coming along and we snuck our neighbor’s playboys. The title of the latest sickest garbage that is going around schools is “Shrek is life, Shrek is love”.  It cuts through all of the filters, etc.  This is realistic cartoon short centers around molestation, sodemy, rape, gay themes, and more.  A student told my son about it at school and curiosity got the best of my him.  He can not un-see what he has now seen.  I will have to expedite the HEALTY sex talk with him sooner than I had planned.  Go through your children’s internet history, pay attention to what they are viewing, and stay engaged.

This morning was my first time attending Golden Corral, I know to some PAX that this seems like an old AO (shiny new things down the street –props to Jekyll on the #cyberbulling) so Senator and I gave a brief history lesson on Tuesday and expansion…and gaining friends and deliberate leadership #additionbydivision…#HIM…remind me and I will tell you the rest of the story…

NAKED MAN MOLESKIN:

Today my sermon was about men needing to find another man to hold them accountable. We always try to appear that we have it all together. reality is we are all one phone call away from our world crashing down (ie wife, kids, job, parents, siblings, etc..). Be careful and wise in your choices and support network.

Rock Thrill gave me a great compliment and told me this was a #MEAT&POTATOES style workout, and that I got this #OldSchoolF3 thing locked down #2ndF

We never got more than a few hundred feet from our cars…I told you to not to run before my Q…

Where was Beacon?

Appreciate the swap with Aqua Man, really fun group today and great #Mumblechatter

We had 6 for #Crossroads with a study on Romans 6:23

Be a better man today then you were yesterday,

Loaves and Fishes… PAX please keep helping Columbia.

Leave a comment

Loads, nay, tons of support has been poured out on the Columbia PAX, but we are far from out of the woods. Spiderman is trying to garner support for a Columbus day trip to help folks start the clean up process. There will be A LOT to do. If you’ve been following the news, twitter, etc., then you’ve seen the devastation. It’s not widespread like Katrina, but for those folks affected, it’s close to that level of devastation. We are also still taking donations.

SO DONATE! Bring supplies to your AOs tomorrow and the rest of the week: Dry food, water (LOTS OF WATER), toiletries, clothes, and especially blankets or other bedding. EVERYTHING and anything helps. If you can’t make that, then drop supplies by my house: 7183 Meyer Rd. (near The Coop) We will be taking more loads down tomorrow and all week long.

Thank you for your generosity thus far. Let’s keep it going.

Someone tonight as they were dropping supplies by said, “It’s not much, but it’s what we could do.” I said that a lot of “not muches” makes a whole pile of “somethings”.

It made me think of the stories of Christ feeding the 5,000; or the account of the Widow’s Mite. Men, let’s cast in what we have, add it to the growing stacks, and make a dent in the suffering of another human being. The little we can do WILL MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE. We are promised it is so…

Additionally, if you have the means and are so inclined, here’s the link to the GoFundMe site: http://gofundme.com/9x5mxfv8

Columbus Day in Columbia

Leave a comment

Gentlemen,

As you know Columbia was hit very hard over the past weekend by severe weather.  Many of our F3 brothers, their families, and friends have been impacted.  Daily trips are already in motion to deliver water and other necessary items.  As the waters subside the clean up will begin.  Let’s converge on Columbia to help our brothers dig out and clean up.

Details:

Plan to cut limbs, shovel mud, carry furniture, etc.  We will coordinate with those in Columbia and refine the details as we get closer.

When: Columbus Day, Monday, October 12th.

  • Meet at 6:00 – 7:00 to collect donations
  • Depart 7:30am

Where:  Lowes by Baxter Parking Lot (Slo Burn)

  • 1640 Highway 160 West, Fort Mill, SC 29708

What to bring:

  • At least one case of water
  • Sawzall (battery powered)
  • trash bags
  • Face mask
  • Chainsaws
  • Loppers
  • Gloves
  • Rope
  • Hacksaws
  • Water
  • Shovels – (snow shovels and regular)

What to wear:

  • Solid Shoes or Boots
  • Jeans
  • F3 shirt
  • Gloves – I know you have some smelly ones somewhere that have seen their day in the gloom

BEFORE YOU GO:

A tetanus shot is highly advised for cleaning up a flood area.  You can get this taken care of at a CVS or Walgreens so please get this done.  Get this done in NC so you can complete it without a prescription.  Check your insurance coverage, I was able to get this done at no charge.

Please help us make an impact!

Count so far:

HC:

  • Spider-Man
  • Dark Helmet
  • Chicken Hawk

Be a #HIM and help out the Columbia Community

Leave a comment

Gentlemen:
As you may (or may not) be aware, Columbia has been hit hard be storms and has gotten over 2 FEET of rain in the last couple of days. It’s a pretty bad situation for a good number of folks have had to evacuate and some have lost homes and other property.

There isn’t a ton we can do from this end until it stops raining, but we are mobilizing to collect supplies to deliver to our F3 PAX down there, so they can help Red Cross and others distribute to those in need.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Bring the following to AO’s where you post tomorrow and Tuesday: Food (dry), water, clothes, blankets, toiletries. Anything you’d need if you were suddenly rendered homeless. We are asking Site Q’s and Q for the day to collect and I will be in touch to collect it all to take it down to Columbia. We’ve been in touch with folks down there and he and I will be working out the delivery of goods.

If you want to donate go here: http://gofundme.com/9x5mxfv8

Please step up and help.

Helmet, out.

Welcome to the Jungle

  • Posted In: Golden Corral

10 Pax showed up for a rainy and humid beatdown at the GC.  As YHC stepped out to run to the AO this morning I thought the rain was no big deal.  However, when it felt like I was running through a rainforest in the Amazon jungle I knew today was not going to be easy.  As I got to the parking lot it was refreshing to see the Pax already gathering.  Only in F3 can you gather a group of men on a day like today.  If Pax show up in this weather you know they want the best you can give them.  No FNGs and another butchering of a disclaimer and we were off.

The Thang:

Toy soldiers kicked off the long mosey around bank, behind the gas station and around to the back of the HT with a few butt kickers, high knees to get loosened up.

COP: WMx15, Parker Peterx15, Peter Parkerx15, IWx15,SSH Burpees (5 SSH in cadence to two burpees. Rinse and Repeat until 30SSH are reached),

Senator Plank – CCDx10, 7 Merkins, Left Arm High (Roll to facing the sky), 10 Dips, Right Arm High (Back to Plank), 5 Merkins, 6″ twice

Line up on curve for Del Browns – 10 Derkins, Bear Crawl half of parking lot, 10 Merkins, Bear Crawl rest, 10 Derkins on opposite island of parking lot.  Repeat exercise back but with Crab Walks instead of Bear Crawls.  (Ouch!)

KoH Suicides-Staying in back of HT with last leg going all the way to side road by apartments           Round 1: Backwards Run out to each point, 20 Plank Punches, Run back  (LBCs until 6)        Round 2: Karaoke Run out to each point, 10 Single Leg Lunges, Karaoke back  (LBCs)         Round 3: Run to first station only, 20 Jump Squats, Run back

Abs: Guantanimo – Lay on backs in a circle with legs at 45 degrees. Each pack gets up and tries to push down the pax legs.  Each pax holds legs in the air until each pax has made a round.              Freddie Mercuries x 10

COT

NMM ; It was a pleasure to Q today and was humbled by the work everyone put in on a day with not the greatest conditions!  It was nice to give credit on the Senator Plank to the man himself, Senator Tressel.  Glad I could pay back the pain he gave me when he first showed it to me!  Three years ago today F3 The Fort had its first workout.  Double D and Senator Tressel were there for the first one.  I want to thank them and the other #HIM who have made F3 what it is today down here.  This thing does not happen by chance…There are a lot of men who have made this possible and I Thank You!

Announcements: (1) Run for Attention 5K -10/10 – www.runforattention.org (2) Fastest 5K – 10/17 (3)Christmas Party

This is a long time coming, so here it is:  The Pre-Blast for The Fort 2015 Christmas Party!

Now this will be no ordinary Christmas party.  This party will be THE blowout of Fort Mill that people will be talking about for months, or at least hours….   There will be food, drinks, rap battles, break dancing, etc.  The typical PAX throw-down.  This is a BYOB event.  This is all you need to bring.  $65 a couple is a steal to hear DD drop the mic to an Eminen classic, “the Real Slim Shady” while Menthol throws down the cardboard to show us his old school break dancing moves….  This is something you don’t want to miss.

The Thang:

AO: The Diary Barn

Date: 12/19/2015

Time: 6:00pm – 10:00pm

Cost: $65 per couple – Pay here https://www.paypal.me/JoshuaSale  OR send check to Joshua Sale 1213 Whitetail Drive Fort Mill, SC 29708

Extras:  BYOB – If you would like to partake of a festive drink, please bring it and our bartender will be serving the PAX.

Remember that $65 now in September is easier to come by than in December.  Do this now and have a pre-paid date night for your M that will be loads of fun!

Let me know if you have any questions.

PREBLAST – THE FORT INVERGENCE, 3RD YEAR CELEBRATION!

Leave a comment

Mark your calendar, get ‘a hall pass’ from the M, and come join your fellow Fort Mill area pax for our annual birthday party, The Fort Invergence!    This September will mark the third year anniversary of F3 in the Fort Mill area,  and we’ll celebrate it with a night of great food, fellowship, and a look back of all that we’ve done since September 2012.

What:  Fort Mill Invergence (3rd anniversary party)

When:  Friday, September 18, 5:30PM

Where:  Bruce T. Rush Pavillion at the Anne Springs Greenway

Bring:  Food, drink, chair, some cash (to cover the pavillion rental/donations to the F3 Foundation)

Use the link below to RSVP and list what food you will bring:

F3 The Fort Invergence RSVP/Dinner Sign Up

This years theme is  High Impact Man (#HIM).   Several members of the Fort area Pax will review our accomplishments over the past year, and talk about where we are going in the coming year.    Our F3 leaders, OBT and Dredd, will be there too to discuss the plans for F3 nationwide.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM THE PAX!

Consistent with the HIM theme this year,  we would like to recognize those who had an impact on the pax or the Fort area region.   Was there someone who got you through a tough workout or run?  Who inspired you?  Who got you out at 5:15 each day when you didn’t feel like it?  Who supported you through a tough time?  Who made a difference this year?  Who exemplified the HIM?

Please submit the name of the person with a breif summary to  fcicciarello1@gmail.com.  We will either read them or post them during the event.  You can remain anonymous if you like.  This is not a contest or competition, but rather just a chance to share some good stories from the past year.

Burning the Ship!

Once a man embraces F3 principles, he no longer needs adjustable waist trousers to accommodate his yo-yo waistline.  Bring in the clothes that no longer fit you. We will be celebrating the war and donating these clothes to a good cause.  Lay down the pogo and stick it to the 40 that comes with it!

There will be weekly Twitter updates as the date gets closer.  This is great event and one you won’t want to miss!  Hope to see you all there.
