Laff-A-Lympics…Rubicon Style

Preamble:

Well, the first week of June marks another year in F3 for YHC and this was a big, round one….10 Years! Wanted to make this one a little fun and with tonight’s Ping Pong Battle looming figured why not start the games off early in the gloom 🙂

21 Total Pax 

6 Pre-Runners/Pre-Ruckers

Warm-O-Rama:

Moseyed/Bernie Sanders’d/Side Shuffle’d to the flag pole and circled up for a good long warm-up that included.

• 5 Burpees (OYO)
• SSH  –  Weed Pickers  –  Hill Billies
• 5 Burpees (OYO)
• Frankensteins  –  Mountain Climbers  –  Shoulder Taps
• 5 Burpees (OYO)
• Sun Gods  –  Covids

Two quick laps around flag…

Indian Bear Crawl:

Everyone in plank position in the circle and pax in back Bear Crawled on the inside and every pax performed one Merkin every time a bear crawler passed them. This was confusing for some pax who haven’t posted in awhile and/or didn’t get clear instructions from the Q.

The Thang:

After some moaning and groaning about getting to the main event, the pax counted off by 3’s to form their teams. 21 pax means a perfect 7 man team for each.

Laff-A-Lympic’s teams:

• Yogi Yahooey’s 
• Scooby Dobbie’s
• Really Rotten’s

7 Events:

(each team would designate a man to compete in one event trying to win Gold, Silver or Bronze for their team)

• Football – Accuracy
• Football – Long Throw
• Golf – Accuracy
• Race – Sprint
• Race – Distance
• Slam Ball – Long Throw
• Kickball – HR Derby (3 kicks each)

Many memorable moments during this year’s Laff-A-Lympics…

• The distance race between MT, Tank and Turbine looked miserable. Those guys were flying with MT taking the Gold over Tank down the home stretch.
• The other race (the sprint) was a good one where Trebek beat Mayhem to the line for the Gold. Cookie, the favorite, had a slip at the start and pulled up lame settling for the Bronze.
• However, earlier in the morning Cookie did make a spectacular catch from False Start (feet were in!!!) on the football accuracy throw to secure the Silver for Team Really Rottens.
• The Laff-A-Lympics ended with a Kickball HR Derby that pitted two giants in the sport – IKEA and Hollywood. Both came to the line for a fourth kick already with three home runs under their belt. Both finished off the morning with their last kicks going over the fence so both earned the Gold!

COT:

• Special thoughts and prayers with Fanny Pack, his M and the entire family with the sad news he shared early this am.
• Praise and continued prayers for YHC’s 2.0.

Reminder of 2nd F tonight at YHC’s basement.

Ping Pong Battle

140 Bay Colt Road

Milton, GA 30009

Naked-Man Moleskin:

During Coffeeteria, Devito was assigned the task of tallying up the Gold, Silver and Bronze points for each team. It initially looked like a tie between the Scooby Doobie’s and the Really Rotten’s…with the Scooby Doobie’s earning the win with one more Gold.

However, NOT SO FAST my friend, after a closer look it was determined there was an error in the tally. The Really Rotten’s were the actual winners and rightly took their place on the top step of the podium 🙂

Scores:

Yogi Yahooey’s – 13 Total Points

• 1 – Gold
• 4 – Silver
• 2 – Bronze

Scooby Doobie’s – 15 Total Points

• 4 – Gold
• 3 – Bronze

Really Rotten’s – 16 Total Points

• 3 – Gold
• 3 – Silver
• 1 – Bronze

Truly blessed to be a part of F3 and to have found this 10 years ago….thank you Grits for EH’ing me long ago. This group in a weird way has become my obsession over the last 10 years, but I think obviously in a good, positive way (mostly :)). The bonds created and the accountability of this group continues to make me a better husband, father and man in everything I do. I know I will make mistakes and fall short b/c I’m human, but the men of F3 are always there by my side lifting me up.

Thank you and SYITG!
