Upon YHC’s arrival, Amen and Frontier were participating in a pre-workout Standard. Good job gents. In the gloom, my eyes were playing tricks on me, because I thought that Amen and Frontier were moonwalking. However, they just had a "smooth criminal" kind of mosey going on. My mind was getting the best of me, but then again, I was listening to the king of pop on my way into our post.
In honor of Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday, I planned to pay tribute to the king cake circle formation. Wait a minute! King cake+King of pop=the theme for this post blast (for…no…reason…at…all).
We welcomed a fellow Pax, Pierogi, who was visiting from the Raleigh area. He said, that “they told him don't you ever come around here.” And “the fire's in their eyes”, but he still came out.
“Our words were really clear” because…
A Disclaimer was given: “People always told me to be careful what you do”. I also mentioned that we “don’t go around breakin’ young girls hearts”, but no one seemed interested in that part.
Then we circled up: “Who will dance on the floor in the round?” No takers so…
Warm A Rama
-Side straddle hop x 25
-IST x 20
-Toy soldiers x 20
Hillbillies x 20
-Mosey to Get Logs
-Circle-up
-Slow windmill x 10
Again, “Who will dance on the floor in the round?” No takers so… the Pax instead ate 5 pieces of king cake…one…piece…at…a…time.
Slice 1
-15 skull crushers
-Indian Run 1 lap
Slice 2
-15 overhead press
-Indian Run 1 lap
Slice 3
-15 curls
-Indian Run 1 lap
Slice 4
-15 chest press
-Indian Run 1 lap
-It was on this lap that Ponch turned on his “hot pursuit” sprint (for what we are still unclear-a squirrel maybe?), leaving the rest of us behind. We all just said, “You better run, you better do what you can”, because we “don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man. You wanna be tough, better do what you can”, but Ponch “just wanna be bad and had to beat it.” The rest of the Pax said dude, “No one wants to be defeated.” Still Ponch was “Showin' how funky strong was his fight.” After eating this slice, the rest of the Pax just decided that, “You have to show them that you're really not scared.” That is…until we had to eat the next/last slice of the king cake….
Slice 5
-Snow Angel (a Toby favorite) x 15
-Indian Run 1 lap
As usual, AM/PM was a beast who devoured each slice and demanded more.
Crocs brought it as always, loved the cake, and surprisingly had minimal mumble chatter.
-Mosey to fountain
-Mid-mobility moment (led by Crocs)
-Circle-up. “Who will dance on the floor in the round?” No takers so…the Pax ate 5 more pieces of king cake…one…piece…at…a…time.
Slice 1
-10 burpees
-1 lap
Slice 2
-15 ‘Mericans
-1 lap
Slice 3
-20 calf raises
-1 lap
Slice 4
-25 squats
-1 lap
Slice 5
-30 lbc’s
-1 lap
-After this last slice of cake was gone, there was much celebration by the Pax.
Hot Wax didn’t complain about being full, in fact, he could’ve probably had another slice. I think I even heard him say, “Shamone, Shamone, alright…”
-Mosey to point
-Mary (plank, box cutter, low flutter, j-lo, ‘merican, dead cockroach, 1/2 burpee, work war Ii’s). Yes, you read 1/2 burpee right.
-Recover Recover
COT/Prayer-Remember Ukraine
Glad Jimmy O is back in full force the past few weeks and representing. He killed the king cake today (and I bet he can secretly moonwalk too).
And for those curious minds…No moon walking or inappropriate dance moves took place today….not on this Q’s watch. We have a reputation to uphold.
Thanks to Carpet Bagger for letting me lead today.
Deep thoughts by Toby: “I'm starting with the man in the mirror. I'm asking him to change his ways, and no message could have been any clearer. If you wanna make the world a better place. Take a look at yourself and then make a change.”
Before coming out to post at a Toby Q, “take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice.” Shamone…
