- When: 06/09/15
- QIC: LIFO
- The PAX: Jumanji, Big Bird, OTC, Cousin Eddy, FarahandFarah, Drone, LIFO
This dark and somewhat pleasant morning, we had a record 7 JAXPAX post. But of course, this is a record that needs to be broken. Cousin Eddy joined the weekday PAX to see what all the chatter was about, and possibly in response to Jumanji’s public twitter shaming. Jumanji asked in passing before ‘tip off’ …’we aren’t going to be doing any merkins are we?’

The PAX then moseyed to the basketball court, LIFO found a handful of basketballs, that must have been left by the dwarfs from last week.
To get started.
5 diamond merkins on basketball OYO. Not as easy as it seems on a rolling object.
7 Jack Webbs on concrete OYO
Then the fun started.
The PAX lined on the half court line by birth month, in plank position.
1 at a time – bear crawl to FT line. Attempt FT. IF FT made, bear crawl back to position.
If FT missed, 10 merkins for all to enjoy OYO. Then bear crawl back.
For 2 rounds. There were some near misses, and some wild misses. Maybe the PAX did it on purpose??? Out of 14 shots, there were 12 misses. Only 120 merkins totals.
After the shooting, which could only rival Shaquille O’Neals FT percentage, suicides were done, with 15 LBC upon every return.
Mosey around the field to remind us we still have legs.
Meet in field, then headed to the pavilion
Bent Ladder 7’s at the picnic tables, Dips and incline merkins (merkins again?). Plank when complete.
Mosey to the field for COP
LBC 15 IC
Rev LBC 15 IC
LBFC 15 IC
15 big boy situps OYO
10 Squirkins (again with the merkins)
Flutter kicks 10 IC
Freddie Mercury10 IC
Lindsay Lohan OYO
BOM:
BigBird brought us in for prayer. Thank you!
Moleskin:
The seven who showed up enjoyed the Gloom. But not sure if they enjoyed the break from dwarf boot camp. Maybe next time, we’ll add a few merkins.
As we walked to our cars, FarahandFarah, decided to do a few pull ups for good measure then said, he plays basketball on Thursday. Hopefully, today has helped his game.
OTC has Q on Thursday and Big Bird on Saturday
Expansion roadtrip brought up. Overheard: ‘Orlando is the #SadClownCapital of the world’
See everyone Saturday, and let’s keep increasing the weekday #Gloomgroup.

LIFO took my idea (which I blatantly stole from another BB for one of my Qs) and made it so much better. The bear crawl to the FT line is brilliant….and awful. Well done!
BTW, you guys shoot about as well as the Union County PAX.
Hey! I resemble that remark!
Although I was also shooting with my ruck on as I was training for the GORUCK. I’m not saying I’m a better shooter without it, but it at least gives the impression that I could be. 😛
What the rucker forgets to say is that the Q was merciful and let ruckers take a few steps in. Didn’t help.
Could you imagine the result we will get with diamond merkins on a basketball with our uncoordinated bunch? We’d end up looking like 45 year old hockey players missing most of their teeth. HH and I competing to see who can lose more with our faceplants.
If nothing else we have at least passed on the art of busting each others chops to the new Jax PAX.
#IronSharpensIron and poking fun at each other along the way just helps make the journey a little more fun.
Aye!
By The Way, someone down there get in touch with Homeboy, I EH’ed him (cousin) & he was at the launch. Encourage him to get his rear back out there! I can only do so much from Charlotte.
