It all started with a simple request on the GroupMe App. Hawgcycle asked if someone could cover his Q at Okwata, and Shorty quickly, too quickly, volunteered. YHC responded that he would be the back up, but had no worries in regard to Shorty posting. YHC posted just to see what sort of beat down Shorty would bring this day. YHC should have known it was a well thought out plot, a plot to get YHC to post. YHC was trying to rest the hamstring, aka Yoga Butt, but not this day.
Due to a severe case of fartsacking, the part of Shorty will be played by Chili Palmer….
Four Okwata die hards posted for an epic beatdown, which YHC thought would be brought by Shorty. Apparently the Cadillac of Minivans was calling, so no Shorty here.
YHC: Chili, what do you think about Shorty fartsacking?
Chili: I’m not gonna say anymore than I have to, if that.
Well, I guess YHC would need to bring it today. It was an incredibly cool and brisk morning at Okwata, and a welcomed change from the humid conditions as of late. Time to get to it! But first, the disclaimer…..and then
The Thang
Mosey around the mardi gras fountain, karaoke left, then right. Circle up in front of the fountain for a warm up:

Mosey back to the fountain for COP 1
Jack Webb double shots at the barre – some mumble chatter about not seeing that coming…..
YHC: Chili, you think we should do Jack Webbs at the barre?
Chili: Look at me.
YHC: I’m looking at you.
Chili: No, I want you to look at me the way I’m looking at you.
YHC: (Awkward)
The PAX does 1 merkin, followed by double shots (air presses) in the peoples chair against the fountain rail, up to 10 merkins. That’s a total of 55 merkins.
