MOLESKIN:
- Excellent work by all pax. Thought I heard some complaints, which I always take to be a good sign. Hope everyone enjoyed it.
- Welcome FNG Eric Billings, a P.I. like Ace Ventura, hence "Flipper". For a hot minute, "Cement Shoes" was the name. Someone will have to explain that one to YHC – I missed the connection. I like to think the pax were still thinking about the pain YHC had tried to deliver with the concrete bricks. Get yourself signed up on F3Isotope.com, Flipper, and hope to see you out there again soon.
- YHC struggled on a few sets, including overhead claps and mericans. I believe it might have been Waffle House who asked whether YHC was planning to "go down all the way this time" on the second set of brick mericans. Cobains. Too much running lately = soccer arms for YHC.
- Original plan for the bear crawl indian "run" was to crawl bear back to the original side of the lot. YHC audibled on that one after pax seemed to bail on the bear crawl about 3/4 way thru the lot. Guessing crawl bear would've been a real crowd pleaser. #mutiny
- Thanks as always to the Birkdale clown car crew – Eeyore, Dry Rub, Tiramisu, Big Rock, Bouncey House, Magnus – for showing up with numbers and then sticking around for coffeeteria. Thanks as well to my BRR (Outlaw, Mayhem, The Geek) and P200 (Moses) teammates for the support. YHC hopes to return the favor soon.
- Thanks to Hippie for the opportunity to lead this morning, and to Eeyore and Auto for the EH 9 months ago. I look forward to this every day, and can't thank you enough.
Edited to add: Shortly after posting this BB, I saw the Gnarliest of Goats patrolling the Uptown in his Chief's cruiser (waist up….could not confirm number of cotton layers). Awesome seeing you twice today, brother!
Aye,
