We had 10 at <#C0653MWMA8K> for an East Side continuous to get stronger, with accusations FNG had splashed Merlot!!!
pre explanation of Tillers F3 name (Tiller company, a fire apparatus)
Followed by Yoga stretching and relaxing music.
Vuvuzela lead the PAX up and down stairs at Red stone theater followed by Tomb Raider.
Next exercises seated wall coupon pass. Tiller was heard giving the mission of F3 loudly. Abagnale was told to move up faster followed by Shoe String to step up the pace.
PAX moseyed into Bear crawls with two Merkins. Ringer per usual lead the beat down.
PAX moseyed to front of theater for a slalom through the front pillars to return for squat jumps 20
Moseyed past large group of coupons on sidewalk only to be told to do Mike Tyson’s in cadence 10
Murder Bunnies next with Merkins 10
FNG went topless after Bunnies and Merkins
Moseyed through pillars for squat jumps 5
Serpent into pillars for dips on benches. PAX seemed confused as Tiller gave order to get on wall for step ups 10 each side.
Confusion set in as Rosie asked what we are doing after step-ups
Tomb Raider and PTL had to be redirected to follow Tiller as we ran back to C.O.T
Goose had to be told directly to stop moving coupons OFF the parking lot onto the side walk.

The image of the board will be used as the workout details but in case others want to use this, here are a few notes to consider:
– Split the group if needed.
– Predetermine a good distance for the Mode of Transportation (M.O.T.) and ensure it’s clearly articulated.
– Keep repeating the “Thang” section until every PAX completes 1 time on the M.O.T.
– Give example of the exercise before that “Thang” section, not all examples in the beginning.
– Open to other feedback

Show To Know
The question we all want to know is, who will be the first to notice the “additions” to the backblasts that have been taking place…??? :dh:
WARMUP: Various exercises and some stretchy things. Then we moseyed to the lower lot past the theater.
THE THANG:
We Partnered up. Partner 1 does exercise while partner 2 begins to lunge walk. After Partner 1 completes the exercise he catches up with partner 2. Partner 2 performs Exercise while partner 1 lunges walks. Repeat until each partner completes 5 rounds of the Exercise. Then back to the starting point; once all Pax were in we went to the next round to rinse and repeat.
Round 1 – 5 Burbees
Round 2 – 10 Outlaws
Round 3 – 15 Merkins
Round 4 – 20 Big Boy Sit ups
Video evidence was previously posted.

COT:
I usually only write anything here to make <@UGU3XR5RP> happy, since he’s the only one that reads these, but I am trying to turn over a new leaf, because I do believe in the value of a BB, which is why I write my idiot reports. Problem is, I’m not a data guy, details of many kinds escape me, and I have a general disdain for rules or other practices that I see as officious, or that have high potential to be abused at some point by those who administer them (but often do not follow them – see also: Government).
But whatever… I’m a reasonable guy, most of the time, though I do get a lot more credit for being a jerk than is probably entirely true. Though I’ll be the first to say (and I often do) that we shouldn’t let facts get in the way of a good story, or a promising relationship get in the way of a good joke.
With that said, here’s what happened…
WARMUP: Sure enough… a little jog, a little windmill, a little merkin… I have a few hits that I play most every time. I should probably switch it up some, but I probably won’t.
THE THANG: “The Grand Old Duke Of York”
If you aren’t familiar with the children’s Nursery Rhyme, then this will seem even dumber than it already was.
(See the link in Slack if you want to watch the critically-acclaimed Peppa Pig version, or just Google that stuff yourself. It won’t be the weirdest crap most of you have Googled in the last week…)
Anyhow, it consisted of going up and down the WWW hill (Withers/Williamson/Watson) next to the FM Church of God and doing exercises at both the top and bottom of the hill (top = parking lot after Watson St.. bottom = under the carport at the FMCOG)
Top: 5 burpees, 10 merkins, 15 2-count flutters
Bottom: 5 CDD, 10 squats, 15 LBCs
Round 1: Bear Crawl up the hill (run down)
Round 2: Partner Carry
Round 3: Nur
Round 4: CrawlBear
Round 5: Run (no one made it this far)
Sasquatch and I were off to a strong start and Danny would have stayed there were it not for being partnered with me. Eventually, Farmers and Vuvu overtook us. They managed to complete the first half of Round 4, whereas YHC only got about halfway up the hill on the CB before time ran out. As I was going, Spectre showed up and I think managed to overtake me by a little. It was close…
MOLESKINE: If you listen to (or are familiar with) the Nursery Rhyme, then you know that the last part of the verse goes, “and when they were up, they were up… and when they were down, they were down… and when they were only halfway up, they were neither up nor down”
Be up or be down. Halfway is no way to live your life. That’s how SadClowns live… existing. Being neither a danger to anything, nor good for much of anything either… this can’t be us. It simply won’t do. And there is a zero % chance that I will quit until I have worn myself completely out trying to help men to change their perspective, overcome their self-limiting beliefs, uncover their Personal Purpose, and then wear themselves out in service to it.
MARY: No chicks.
