-Fun fact: Q has never actually see the entirety of the Talladega Nights movie that brought us Ricky Bobby 

-We learned a new verb today. Pooching. It’s apparently the act of having your stomach pooch out

-The sprint in the backstretch were intended to not cause injury, and the strides looked fairly Kenyan 

-Humidity levels were quite high, so much so as to cause abundant sweat to dip into one’s eyes  

-Q could not be more excited for fall college football tailgating. I don’t traffic in half measures

-Fun fact: The University of South Carolina has beaten Auburn University on the gridiron in football the last two seasons 

-When you lead off the rivalry counter argument with the fact that the Auburn University mascot has won mascot of the year ten times, you are not exactly arguing from a position of strength 

-Q is rocking tonight at a concert with Styx, REO Speedwagon and Loverboy 

-Prayers lifted for all of these kids going off to college, and for their parents. Go out and shine and make us all proud!!

-Great job fellas!!
