Five miners came out to the Quarry for the second installment of Natty Week against the backdrop of rain to further delve and debate the subtle differences between a mine and a quarry. Once the foreign objects were introduced it got real interesting.

The Thang
Nothing says the Quarry quite like bricks. Nothing, I say. Come grab yo’ bricks, two in a pair and head to the covered area. Do a bunch of different exercises with the aid of bricks. Most of these were accompanied by the “hold” feature about halfway thru the reps before finishing the reps

Q is not what you would call objective, but he really loves himself some bricks and find they pair really well with a workout
-
Overheard in the covered area: “It’s just like herpes”. This is an effective simile you can use for many different conversational situations
-
One PAX gave Q a heads up that they would have to miss the final Natty Week installment on Saturday. While conflicts will inevitable arise, as long as a Doctor’s excuse or note from your parents is provided it will then, and only then, be considered an excused absence.
-
Replacing an O (letter) with a 0 (number) may just allow otherwise salacious backblast materials to slip thru corporate email firewalls
-
What’s that on your leg? It’s a strap on
-
It’s really tough to time the market. Long term investing is the key

Perineal is pronounced “?per.?’ni?.?l/”. Perineum is pronounced “/?per.?’ni?.?m/”.

The first escalator has been awarded for Natty Week. Pinky drove all the way from Dilworth in the pouring rain for the workout and managed to stop at every traffic light along the way. He also got Q started in this here F3 and is a loyal backblast reader so Q makes no apologies for being more than a tad sweet on him. Solid. #myrules

If you don't see yourself on the above grid or aren't happy with your current standings don't despair – there are still three more eligible workouts for Natty Week and esclators so everybody is still mathematically alive in the standings, even those who have yet to post (this means you!)

Arizona is still saving himself for marriage and therefore is still chaste, or more properly, a Muscle Beach virgin. Come out and see his hym&n get broken tomorrow

It’s both an Honor and a Privilege fellas!
