- Namerama …mostly DTH’s present today
- Announcements (included below in Comments)
- YHC closed in Prayer
NMS:
Wow, where to even begin?! The contagious good humor, corrupting our every intent to perform quality exercises – granted they may have been new – and YHC may have messed up the cadence once or twice… then the brutal four corners escalator with DRAPER modifying the depth of his Ball Dippers to account for his testicular enormity… then an impressively competitive Capture the Flag. Getting back to the new exercises at the end, the general form looked much better…will have to use Dr W & Angle Grinder on the regular. And finally, what a way to end! There are now 4 Dr TryHards and one “Big Balls” Draper in our PAX…good luck Big Data. You guys crack me up – thanks for allowing me to lead and join you today.
SYITG, The REAL Dr TryHard

– If you’ve got a strong adam’s apple, see HARDYWOOD if you want a good time… specifically at Peak Experience, $20 for training & 2wk all-inclusive …and they’ve got a pub… so maybe he will buy you a drink first…
– TOBIT – prayers for his mom & mother-in-law – both having surgery this Thur
– Prayers for MR ROPER and colleagues after recent tragedies experienced
– Prayers for SUGARSOCK – out sick with the plague for more than a month
Always love a stroll through unfamiliar portions of the Exicon. Never done Break-dancing Merkins or Angle Grinders before. I feel like Offshore will be adding the BDMs to his repertoire along with the Upright APDs and the MC Hammers. Can’t wait for that. Both will return for sure…maybe even at W-Dog tomorrow morning just to spread the joy.
Dr W’s were not new for me…and still suck.
The escalating and de-escalating 4-corners routine was a beast – with deep or shallow ball dippers.
Well done DTH. There was lots of energy out there today. Great time men!
Lots of good laughs at NoToll these days. Thanks for keeping that going, DTH. You’re a good sport to work through all of the nonsense that is the SOJ mumblechatter.
You were standing right in front of me, and I was still asking “wait, what’s a 4×4?”
Solid beatdown!
AND, Don Draper really did say what I said he said….
Great Q! Great fun this morning!
Have a great day, men.
Way to bring out the Exicon DTH. Good to see what I hope is the last bit of cold weather did not slow the mumblechatter.
Move over Macarena merkins? Perhaps it depends on whether you are reliving the 80s or 90s…
