On this beautiful Saturday morning almost exactly 43 years after the first episode of the original show, 20 HIMs posted for a serving of Gumbo. It went something like this:
Mosey to the COP circle and 2 laps around to warm up, then circle up for COP, including:
- Higgins (DQs)
- TCs (Helicopters)
- Magnum Merkins (Tempo Merkins touching your stache to the ground)
- Rick’s (six inches – Rick doesn’t do anything)
- Hello Dollies
- Copperhead squats
- Imperial Walkers
THANG
Mosey to Robin’s Nest (the Amphitheater) for the follwing
Honor the pilot episode 12/11/1980 with
- 12 merkins – lap around the Amphitheater…audible- come down middle steps to avoid nastiness on the far side.
- 11 squats – lap
- 19 WWIIs – lap
- 80 SSHs – lap
- plank for the six
Honor the 162 episodes on the 18 stairs – 9 box jumps per stair going up and 9 dips coming down. Al Gore for the six.
Mosey back to the stage for Touch a Palm Tree. 8 rounds – 1 for each season. Round 1 touch 1 tree while partner does some form of merkin. Round 2, touch 2 trees while partner does some sort of ab exercise. All the way up to 8 trees – each partner does each round.
Mosey down to the Golden Triangle for a quick Volcano – bernie up the hill, 1 burpee, then jog around the triangle and back down.
Mosey back to the Flag and complete 78 SSHs for Tom Selleck – or as many as you can until time is called.
Numbers, Names, and YHC took us out.
Announcements:
- 12 Days of Christmas – Rosie’s special treat to the PAX – NoToll 12/19. Still time to sign up for the gift exchange.
- Liv has her first post-Chemo MRI on Friday – send those prayers up for some good news.
- Oyster is counting the days until Pickleball is back at Batteau
NMS:
Always great fun to put a Hawaiian shirt on and have some fun. A few strong staches out there today, but I think DTH took the crown this year. Well done Doc Holliday! Thank you all for coming out, and thank you to all those who supported YHC’s efforts to raise some money for Sportable (www.sportable.org). Much appreciated.
Lots of great mumblechatter today. But the cherry on the top today was discovering McGruff’s superpower – pickle pounders (hip dips). That boy can go. Look out Shakira. Sorry I missed coffeeteria – had to coach a basketball game.
No More Gumbo for You!
