That feeling when you read a #preblast that says you are the Q…… Yeah that's the feeling that hit YHC moments after I asked a few other guys where we were posting today. It's a bit of a did-I-do-that coupled with some maybe-he's-making-it-up with a side of is-there-still-time-to-make-up-an-excuse feeling that eventually gets overwhelmed by the-pax-needs-me-dammit altruism. And that's where it all began.
Thankfully 4 of us met #theStandard at 0500 for about 2.2miles of 2nd F and yogging…..during which for the first mile YHC thought of what he would do for the beatdown. During the second mile Estee Lauder told me what he was planning for his VQ next week and it sounded eerily similar (though he didn't know YHC's plans). So I spent the last 0.2 miles making something else up.

Careless Whisper Moleskin: RIP George Michael
- T-claps to T-bone for the memory jogger about me (allegedly) saying I would Q today.
- Elmers said the word "Qutiny" (Q mutiny)…..'nuff said
- Amazing how many of the pax spent their teen years acting like they didn't know any boy-band songs, (ya know 'cause chicks would think we were cooler if we didn't like what they liked). But call out the NKOTB exercies and everyone knows them. T-claps to Blackbeard for dropping in a well timed 90 Degrees comment.
- Estee Lauder was under the impression that Indians were lean and ran fast. A great discussion ensured in which YHC went "Cliff Claven" and let him know that it is a little known fact that the Indians were slovenly and fat therefore they were easy targets for the Redcoats. But the British, being the victors, got to right the write the history books so they portrayed the Indians as physical specimens.
- After all that Estee Lauder reminded me it didn't matter as small pox took them out anyway. (clearly he has read the book "1491" which is a great read and says the same thing).
- Great to see Big Perm back in town and working out with us. He said he was in town to spend the holidays with the in-laws. But I think he saw the #pb that YHC had the con and couldn't miss
- YHC was pimping his new $1.99 gardening gloves. Unfortunately he got two left-handed gloves. So alas he went Michael Jackson style today with one glove.
- Come out for Estee Lauder's VQ at #Fallout next week. Promises to be good stuff.
- Remember if you have already met your deductible this year, you can get 80% off on colonoscopies through Dec 31!!!! I care about your fitness, health and pocketbook
- Just read through the BB draft and man is it centered around YHC. So much so that can I really use the "H"? Ah who cares. I am off work today so hells yeah it is all about me. And you didn't Q anyway. Love you!
