Paindrops on poses and thick scars on mittens
Bright cement coupons plus bricks and he’s smitten
A huge box of cheez-it’s tied up with strings
These are a few of his favorite things!
When dat Dawg bites
When JerfLee Stings
When he’s not feeling rad
He simply remembers his favorite things
Then he doesn’t feel so bad!
Duke! Stop frolicking in the Alps and roll that footage!
YHC rolled in guns blazing to a stage audience of 2 for a Goose bday after party celebration. Our man turned 41 on Sunday and after laying down some deep tracks on Saturday (with a Dora that still makes me shudder) and relaxing on Sunday (his actual bday) , YHC could not let him escape without a full Roast . With a massive assist from Gooses M we cooked up a David Letterman style Goose Top Ten and unlocked the vault of Goose t-shirts/costumes to prepare the world to hear the sounds of Goosic.

A David Lettermen Style Investigation as to Why Goose Brought the F3 Flame to Thibodaux
10. Why did Goose start F3 in Thibodaux?? Some say to plant, grow and serve through male leadership? A fresh out of school journalist may stop there. No sir, not today. YHC knows you have to dig deeper for a full story. We went straight to the source and his M revealed that deep down the ole Gooseberry really just wanted to dance with somebody. (plus he LOVES Whitney Houston, what a coincidence!) So we throupled up and the initial plan was to side shuffle in a back to back throuple while listening to Whitney Houstons “Dance with Somebody” and while doing an air squat high 5 on every “somebody” and every “dance”…well that was the plan. What went down was some sort of joyous rain dance with side shuffling and several modifications later we told Whitney to dance with somebody else.
9. Maybe he didn’t want to dance. Maybe he just wants a killer badonkadonk ? He did do roughly 5000 Blairs in the month of May ya know. So we throupled up and completed 100 Bonnie Blair with Apolo Onos as a timer and buddy it started to warm up quick.
8. What if he just wanted to wear ridiculous outfits with his friends in public. I mean there is a history there (see Death Valley Spiderman) –Well it just so happened YHC was in full spiderman attire, so we had to get 10 PP merkins a sidewalk mosey and another 10 PP merkins.
7. Maybe it was all a ploy to establish a network of IBS brethren so he could express his own flatulence freely? – If you or someone you know is spreading the lie of 1 shart/year then we need more awareness and support for Sharters Anonymous. We completed 10 mountain main poopers (prolly not what those were) side shuffled and then another 10 mountain man poopers.
6. Perhaps he just wanted to do unlimited uncounted burpees and not worry about the count. Math is stupid. We completed a circle of pain burpee that with 3 pax ended up looking a lot like nonstop burpees. Almost had to put the hose on Goose and YJ for trying to do them too fast.
5. Was he looking to start the next fashion trend? Animal, GiGi, and lets not forget the eye bleach event of his croptop/yoga pants combo that put several men into therapy. In honor of the Animal we did a Gorilla hop to the sidewalk and back.
4. Possible that he really just wanted to make an army of super soldiers to continue to defend family values learned from St. JP2? YJ was donning the Polish soccer style shirt as a JP2 tribute and we shoulder to shoulder lunged to the sidewalk with mosey back while listening to…you guessed it “ WE ARE FAMILY!”
3. Could it all be a way to distract us from the pain of burpees? A well-known event growing in Thibodaux lore is Gooses BurpeePalooza. Pretty simple, he brings a playlist, and we do burpees until we want to quit and that’s the half way point. YHC dialed up his favorite hit from Burpee Palooza #2….Peaches. Burpee on Peaches and modify rest because the spidey costume was getting unbearably hot and YHC was seeing stars.
2./1. While the above number 10-3 are mostly satirical YHC needed to switch gears here (into my low professional voice) and speak truly about what Goose brings to the table.
When YHC has come to him as a friend with a tangled mess of struggles he is always there with his simple and sincere phrase : “Gods got you man”. No lengthy theological discourse, no chest beating battle plan. Just his authentic experience that God has led him through struggle , that when we feel surrounded He surrounds us. We listened to “Surrounded/See a Victory” by Mass Anthem and held plank with merkins on” Fight, Victory, Surrounds”. (Thanks to Fancy Pants for this one)
