Eight of NW CLT’s finest made it out on a rather humid morning to strap on a unitard and transform themselves into a Nattily Clad state. While the following is loosely based on actual events, the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Pax was treated to an “Angst Mix redux” from the aborted American History Music series installment earlier this summer when the portable speaker was not cooperating. And what a treat that was.
-
Setlist that accompanied the workout for those of you scoring at home:
-
Hey Man, Nice Shot – Filter
-
Wicked Garden – Stone Temple Pilots
-
Hunger Strike – Temple of the Dog
-
Come As You Are – Nirvana
-
Liar – Henry Rollins Band
-
Deep – Pearl Jam
-
We’re In This Together Now – Nine Inch Nails
-
Smells Like Teen Spirit – Nirvana
-
-
The song “Liar” offered relationship advice and extolled the virtues of always telling the truth. Pax asked if the singer ever showed any remorse during the song before committing to lie again at the end of the song. While the lyrics were not audible when broadcast in the parking lot when competing with Oktoberfest chatter, there was a certain level of contrition shown as follows:
….If you'll give me one more chance, I swear that I will never lie to you again
Because now I see the destructive power of a lie, They're stronger than truth
I can't believe I ever hurt you, I swear, I will never to you lie again, please
Just give me one more chance, I will never lie to you again, I swear
That I will never tell a lie, I will never tell a lie, No, no
……………….
Ha ha ha ha ha hah haa haa haa haaa, Sucker, Sucker!
Oh, sucker, I am a liar, Yeah, I am a liar
Yeah I like it, I feel good, Ohh I am a liar

Angst had a prominent place in my early 90’s musical upbringing. Not exactly covering any new ground here, but Q clearly has some issues
-
The only downside from all of this, besides the obvious assault on Pax’s auditory senses, is that Oktoberfest is now more confident in his singing abilities and is planning to try and cut a record
-
Alas, there are still many more musical genre’s left to cover. Next up: Sweating to the Oldies
- Workout creed is that “No Grip shall be left behind”. We seem to have had a bit of a bottleneck on the home stretch today
-
How would you like your Serb burger prepared?
-
Why you so angry, bro?
-
There is no truth in advertising, and also no truth in pre-blasts. Pax again disappointed that there we in fact zero unitards on display this morning
-
Q’s calf tweak garnered little sympathy from Pax, and perhaps even caused some phantom pains of their own. Bee-atches
-
This is not exactly the first time we have done this workout, so continue to be amazed at Pax challenges in executing the various sets and which exercises to do. Perhaps it’s all due to Q’s quick ‘splainin at the beginning, or the Angst mix accompaniment that muddled the message
-
Anyone with a smartphone (and a kind buzz) can post social commentary to the internet for all others to enjoy
-
Pinky blessed us with a rare during the week appearance. He gets so Metro during the fall months
-
By my count, that's a total of 40 exercises and some running added in to boot. Solid effort men!
-
It’s an honor and a pleasure. Thanks again for enduring all of these here shenanigans
