Preamble:

Wanted a theme to help shape the BD.. looked up 'on this day' for Dec 16.. Boston Tea Party (check).   Figured I should know the year it occurred to sound smart.. 1772 (check).  I'm ready to go.

Warm-O-Rama:

Mosey up the Big A Parking Lot for SSH, WMH, Weed Pickers, Sun Gods, Good Mornings, and No-Cheat Merkins

The Thang:

Ran to the first Coupon pile and announced
1972, Dec 16 was the date of the British Tea Party!!!
Oops..
Thang 1
Grab a Coupon for 15 Curls, OH Press, Skull Crushers, and Rows, then throw the Tea overboard, back into the coupon pile.   We would tour the AO locating 5 British ships and ridding them of the taxed tea.
Thang 2
Playground Dora - Partner 1 on Pull-ups, Partner 2 takes a lap around the playground and performs 3 burpees before switching out.  Target: 50 pull-ups
Thang 3
Since we pillaged the British ships, I figured I'd pillage Pinkman's routine from Friday-Lighting the House.  On the football field for a little Extension Cord Ladder to Light the Griswalds House. Started on the Goal Line with 1 No-Cheat Merkin + 1 X-Factor then Bear Crawl (only fitting since Clark was Chicago Bears Fan) 10 Yards and perform 2 No-Cheat Merkins + 2 X-Factors. Every 10 yard line we increased the rep count by 1 and every 25 yards we added a sprint back to the goal line to Check the Breaker.    

COT:

  • Kudos to Snowman and team for putting on a great Christmas party.  Words are inadequate to describe the top white elephant of the year.
  • Cigars (or not) with Crab Cake this Wednesday evening at Cumming Cigar Company
  • Grimace shared a great word from Ephesians on how the battle is more than what our eyes can perceive.
  • Crab Cake's mission trip to South Asia in February.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

sometimes you screw up an intro, sometimes you steal from someone's beatdown last week.. doesn't matter.  What matters is we take opportunities to lead, keep moving forward, and do hard things together.    27 PAX on a Monday?!?!?!
