  • Word of caution for any of you guys contemplating wearing yoga pants to the next Power Yoga class. They offer very little concealment if you find yourself “pitching a tent” as a direct result of taking in the bountiful scenery. And now you know.

  • Thought 911 may have made a late appearance when a car came in and circled the lot. Turns out to have just been the paper boy

  • We normally just do 4 sets, but this crew was very determined today

  • Uranus were a rock and roll band from London, Ontario that formed during the late seventies and were known as a great cover band, covering Buddy Holly’s classic tune which was also the moniker for today’s workout. Uranus is also a planet. Lastly, it is also happens to be where the grip ventriloquism emanates from.Ventrilo-Grip.

  • Parking lot is slightly less than square. More like a really jacked up parallelogram with curved sides

  • There was some Dizzy Gillespie trumpet virtuoso flatulence accompaniment during the WWII’s

  • Prayers for Double Double’s daughter who is getting a growth removed from her foot.

  • Great work gents!
