Ye Ole Scrapskin: 

1.  Stapler cotinues to bring out his 19 year old son Commando who is headed to the military.  It's refreshing having some young blood in the PAX and thankful for the father-son duo. 

2.  Toxic mentioned that the song "Thunder" would be in his head all day long.  You're welcome. 

3.  Caboose tried to leave before we started to even the numbers for YHC's planned partner beatdown.  But, he's a glutton for punishment and he reluctantly followed this leprechaun into the gloom. 

4.  Dr. Seuss – respect.  You can run for 50.  Very impressed.  You have wheels. 

5.  Moses and Waffle came in the only clown car.  YHC had his trusty iPhone as a beacon for the gloom and often used it as an integrity lamp to shame the PAX, mistakenly.   Because Moses is the ultimate integrity Q, and like a mirror, shone back the integrity lamp to YHC to ensure maximimum effort and true, perfect form.  Aye.  Lesson: Judge not lest ye be judged. 

6.  Thanks Mayhem for allowing me to Q.  I tried to Spartan Up your Viking with the 30 burpees and the running mixed in with pain stations.  

7.  It's super gloomy at North Meck Park.  The integrity light will be back.  

Shine On Brothers.  You have Light.  Use it.
