The Grand Old Duke of York

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.
