THE THANG

Background joke on repeat as we roll through the Thang: Guy walks into a doctors office completely naked but wrapper in cellophane. The doctor says to him, “Clearly I can see your you’re nuts.”
All credit to Brown Streak for sticking this lovely jingle in everyone’s head.

****************************************

Two men were sitting next to each other at a bar. After a while, one guy looks at the other and says, “I can’t help but think, from listening to you, that you’re from Ireland.”

The other guy responds proudly, “Yes, that I am!”

The first guy says, “So am I! And where abouts from Ireland might you be?”

The other guy answers, “I’m from Dublin, I am.”

The first guy responds, “Sure and begora, and so am I! And what street did you live on in Dublin?”

The other guy says, “A lovely little area it was, I lived on McCleary Street in the old central part of town.”

The first guy says, “Faith & it’s a small world, so did I! And to what school would you have been going?”

The other guy answers, “Well now, I went to St. Mary’s of course.”

The first guy gets really excited, and says, “And so did I. Tell me, what year did you graduate?”

The other guy answers, “Well, now, I graduated in 1964.”

The first guy exclaims, “The Good Lord must be smiling down upon us! I can hardly believe our good luck at winding up in the same bar tonight. Can you believe it, I graduated from St. Mary’s in 1964 my own self.”

About this time, another guy walks into the bar, sits down, and orders a beer. The bartender walks over shaking his head & mutters, “It’s going to be a long night tonight.”

The guy asks, “Why do you say that?”

“The Murphy twins are drunk again.”

Stop Talking

I keep hearing the same sentiment over and over again.  Spiderman, less talking.  Not in general, just out of you.

It’s either my deep philosophical remarks or 1980’s Sesame Street jokes.  I got the hint.  No mumble chatter, just muscles breaking down and stronger PAX emerging.

This one is dedicated to Rosco, who stayed the course, even when life is playing a prank on you! Thankfully nobody was is in distress.

Prayers – Stroganoff and his family.

We prayed for God to use us in big ways.  Take our blinders off, recognize opportunities to serve in big ways,(kind words have tremendous ripple effects,  physical actions do to).   Serve big in God’s name.

Great effort by all in this mixture of bricks and body weight workout!

Rock -n- Roll Express

The similarities between Marthas Blast(Co-Q’d by E4 and Spiderman) and the 80’s tag team sensation Rock -n- Roll Express is striking. Those who are familiar with both will agree. E4/Robert Gibson and Spiderman/Ricky Morton combined their exceptional ringsmanship to effectively lay the smack down on the 9 heels who braved the challenge.

Right away E4 let it be known, running was not an option. Bear crawls and burpees in tandem heated up the action with an intensity so strong, Bandit may have unexpected visitors on his doorstep.(had to be there)

After the first bell and sensing a shift of momentum, Spiderman began throwing foreign objects into the ring. Bricks everywhere! Luckily no fans were injured, just rotator cuffs.

5 more minutes of pre-planned maneuvers and taunting ensued. Suddenly out of the abyss of sweat and grunt, RnRE landed their patented finishing move, the wall sit shoulder press brick extension. The final bell sounded.

Rumors of high fives spread.

Brick No Hit Back – Chong Li

I’m calling it the, Brick No Hit Back.  Remember the classic 80’s action thriller starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as the incomparable Frank Dux, who fights for his pride, legacy, and charming big-haired lady friend, in an international no holds barred martial arts tournament? Good, were on the same page. So, the part where Frank hit’s the top of a stack of 4 bricks and only the bottom one explodes…….and Chong Li, the Asian Hercules slowly nods his head in approval (or so we thought) then says,  BRICK NO HIT BACK!!!!!!!!  This is the equivalent workout to that scene.
