Naked Moleskin:
Good work this morning, men. Ladders are soul destroyers.
Respect to Hardywood and “David Robinson” Marv for performing the burpees as fans of the Week 2 NFC East losing teams. Hail Victory!
YHC felt the PAX’s appreciation of slowing things down at NoToll on Tuesday and thought it was only appropriate to spread the love across the Rivah this morning.
Pucker delivered a solid compliment to YHC when he noted that the Lt. Dan Ladder silenced all mumblechatter. Hardywood crushed both ladders…well done, sir.
Saab pulled his best Wilson by fast counting the cadence count as YHC slowed down the Hello Dollies.
Welcome to FNG Pyro, whose name comes from a story of almost burning down Shakedown’s house…and actually burning down his own house. There was deliberation after Pyro & Shakedown departed as to whether or not the fire in the story was a real fire OR if the fire was simply a psychedelic dream following a long strange trip down Shakedown Street. I guess friends that burn together, stay together. Welcome!
Announcements:
Sept. 30 – F3 RVA Convergence @ GridIron – 6am & 7am workouts
Trail run in Powhatan this weekend – see Hardywood or TYA

Love a DK Q – well done guys …
See y’all in the gloom..
That ginger-haired lady who walks her dog aggressively around the 45momm AO hates us…she may even actively hate us…
Slow-jamming the Mary burns like hell. Glad DK spread the love on that. Props to Hardywood, Shakedown and others who endured it for a second time this week.
Welcome Pyro.
Great Q, as always, DK! Gumbo is right, slow Mary burns… like houses – I can assure you that it was real though your suspicions are not without merit. Houses are definitely one of my least favorite things to burn. It was rough but we were young and endured. Lots of blessings came our way. I was living with my soon to be M and it postponed the wedding but everything ended up just fine. Some friends threw a benefit concert for us at one of my favorite old punkrock bars in Richmond – Hole in the Wall. Corntooth, RPG, and Lamb of God played back when they could play a small room. Welcome Pyro! Hope you come back soon.
Great story. Shakedown has lived a life, and has the stories to prove it! Let’s just say, I am happy he is still with us. Our walks at lunch are NEVER boring.
Solid Q DK and welcome Pyro. For those interested in a little evening jaunt on the trails this Saturday, give me a shout. Dominate your Thursday.
Ok, I call dibs on naming Shakedowns next FNG Corntooth.
Solid DK. The jump squats on the ladder really shut me up.
In my defense, I had to move the count along so that I could finish and scratch something.
The jump squats were brutal
DK loves him some Ginger (BRR2015)…..
True story. I love this lady too…she just needs to smile more…or at least once…and stop acting like 22 dudes are hogging her sidewalk every Thursday…
Thanks for leading today DK that was painful but fun!!
Dominated already HardyWood!!
Yes she really hates you can see it in your face totally pissed off we are there..
Did you just call her a hog? If she is reading this BB she hates you even more.
Only allowed to dominate every third Thursday…Flashdance and Hardywood know what I’m talking about.
I may not have helped your cause DK. Ginger’s dog had a glow stick around its neck and I said he looked like he was ready for a Rave…don’t think that made her smile either.
I went straight to urban dictionary on that. Excuse me while I go brush my teeth. And throw up.
Hey Flipper you got to be ready for game time and bring your A game, remember its training to dominate!!!
