Loyal reader update: Arizona’s Muscle Beach hym&n is still intact
-
My outer buttocks are sore, a malady that was mysteriously shared by the other participants in prior Natty Week events. Is it from ph1sting?

Liar. You always find your way back to the classics. There was some helpful relationship advice shared in the lyrics that are still applicable for the 2020’s
-
Is Liar the song they play before the political debates?
-
You didn’t hear this from me, but word on the street is that Surfs back injury he sustained that is keeping him from the Natty Week festivities is due to high altitude hump1ng

777’s can make Rx writing a bit shaky later in the day

Roommate conversation. “If you woke up with a [redacted] sticking out of your [redacted], would you tell anybody?” “Why do you ask?” “No reason.”

Natty Week escalator provided to El Tigre today. Not only did he lug an entire gym with him from Belmont in the early am and helped the tardy Q set up some of the stations (he has better penmanship with the chalk), he does this same exact ritual most weeks so we can have a Muscle Beach. It won’t last forever, but it is certainly appreciated
-
The “Thrice is Nice” escalator was provided to both Tool Time and Twister for their 3rd consecutive appearance at a Natty Week workout in as many days. Most impressive work fellas, and really appreciate the support.
-
Q was giving out escalators like Oprah gives away cars at her TV show tapings.

Reminder that there is always a chance for demerits, as spiteful and petty as they may be. #myrules

If you don’t see your name on the above list and would like to (this still means you!) you have two, and only two, opportunities left for Natty Week. Others who have attended previous Natty Week workouts actually think these scores will eventually count for something.Come join in the illusion!

Prayers for Surfs mother in law who just got a diagnosis of uterus cancer
