Moleskin:
Today was dedicated the 25th infantry “Tropic Lightning” F3 Commando’s division and the namesake of Tropic Thunder (spoof of Platoon, which was the 25th infantry.) 25 exercises with 25 repetitions in the Jungle.
Today was F3 Dads Camp, so Baily Road converged with the Mighty Jungle. I did not completely explain or understand why I chose today’s workout. My M in her infinite wisdom explained it to me. “Today is F3 Dads camp and you miss your boy, dumb ass, so you created a goofy workout to honor him.” My delicate little flower really understands me and has such a diplomatic way with word. Hahaha
The PAX on the other hand are a different story. Several times today PAX patiently requested clarification of my mumbling instructions. The best was Outlaw, “you are saying something as if I understand what you are saying.” My name is Stapler for several reasons, my shape, my glasses, my job, but most of all my stumbling, mumbling cadence of Milton of Office Space. Hahaha.
Two FNGs joined today. Welcome Lawrence M (I will spare you my attempt to murder the spelling of your name) who will be named at his next post.
It was a sight to behold to see F3 legends Callahan, Moses, Outlaw and Gnarly Goat come together to name FNG Zack Snider who was EHed by our own judge Scrappy. Hence forth christened “The Wasp”. Judge Smails, “It’s easy to grin when your ship comes in and you’ve got the stock market beat. But the man worthwhile, is the man who can smile. When his shorts are too tight in the seat.” Hahahaha ho hahahaha, ho.
There are two version of Goat on the website “Gnarly Goat” with a space and “GnarleyGoat” without a space and an e added. I am fairly sure the first is correct, but both got credit today. Goat is a Beast and does the work of two men, so it seems only fair.
There much was concern and discussion over the sock choice of Black Sox of all things, and why he was wearing Larry Bird socks. Stay strong and you do you my brother! But, seriously, do some laundry and get those Michael Jordan socks back into circulation.
Thank you to Blackbeard for allowing me to Q. Thank you to all the PAX and the support you provide.
