“What we seek is some kind of compensation for what we put up with.” Haruki Murakami
Gratis Amnesty, YHC twisted his ankle on the last ten yards of Wednesday’s post. YHC can’t remember if Amnesty made the Disclaimer, but now suspects he didn’t cuz he split Dodge to evade service of process and is sunning his skinny ass on some beach in The Philippines! Anyway, YHC had to defer his planned alternations between Scylla and Charbidis and instead stick to nothing that includes rotating right ankles. Determined not to disappoint the PAX, YHC announced that he would improvise with a compensating post that included no suicides, burpees, step ups, etc. The PAX seemed happy at the prospect: damned fools. So after a disclaimer, the PAX headed to the Great Lawn.
First COP (where Cowbell straggled in late and was in no hurry to join in and then Choo Choo and a kick-ass LNG joined the PAX)
SSHs 30xIC
Monkey Humps 30xIC (start of excessive MumbleChatter)
Hillbillies 30xIC
Good Mornings 30xIC
Peter Parkers 30xIC
Parker Peters 30xIC
Second COP
Black Jack across the Field: mosey across the Great Lawn ten times for 11-to-20 merkins and then mosey back to the other side (ten times, of course) for 10-to-1 LBCs so that the merkins plus LBCs always equal 21. Too much Mumble Chatter, so…
Third COP
Rinse and repeat the second COP but in reverse. Jack Black across the Field: mosey across the Great Lawn ten more times for 10-to-1 merkins and then mosey back from the other side (again, ten more times of course) for 11-to-20 LBCs (again so that the merkins plus LBCs always equal 21). Mubble Chatter less frequent second time (PAX learns). So that was 210 merkins and 210 LBCs (plus or minus). Mosey to benches in front of Peristyle.
Fourth COP:
Hip Slappers 20xIC
Incline Merkins 20xIC
Big Boy Situps (feet on benches, and knees (that would be elbows) to knees) 12xIC
Derkins 20xIC
Fifth COP:
Monkey Humps 30xIC
Rosalitas 20xIC
Dr. Wx 12xIC
Real Freddy Mercuries 20xIC
LBCs 100xIC (come on, PAX, YHC is older than the rest of the PAX and over twice as old as some; give a man some Respect and keep up with him)
..and just because the MubbleChatter remained incessant, a full-minute Plank of your Choice.
Ankle survived. DownPainment made. So mosey to the flag for a Namorama, naming of FNG, Announcements, Shout-outs and Intentions. Thanks again for putting up with Old Guys.
Tclaps to Amnesty who provoked the dragon, and the fiery wrath was felt by the Pax who posted to this.
The only thing that got me through the workout was the memory of JV doing the Monkey Humpers.
