WARM-O-RAMA (WOR):
Moseyed down to the lower cul-de-sac. Got straight to work:
• SSH IC
• Copperhead Squats IC
• Copperhead Merkins IC
Everything seemed like your typical Friday gloom… until things took a testicular turn.
Moseyed up to the top cul-de-sac for more warm-up:
• Imperial Walkers IC
• Toy Soldiers IC
• Weedpickers IC
• Sun Gods OYO
• Michael Phelps OYO
Then Eggplant returned from the battlefield of ballsack boo-boo and let loose the nutcracker jokes like it was Christmas in May.

We moseyed back to the parking lot.
THE THANG: “BOB” Memorial WOD
Because nothing says “we honor you” like gasping through reps:
Descending Ladder: 13 → 1
• Hand Release Merkins
• Air Squats
• Sit-Ups
Then: Run a lap around the block.
Then: Rinse and repeat until your soul starts leaking out your ears. Or is that juice leaking out of your…, never mind.
All PAX cleared Round 1, some lunatics forged on into Round 3. Tinfoil just did 10 reps of each of exercise over and over again. Meanwhile, SquatNcough dropped a psychological grenade with a tale of “bubblegum” on the leg—a schoolhouse trauma none of us were ready to unpack. Is it a northern thing? Boondock hadn’t heard of it so I guess not. Either way the mumblechatter was off the chain the rest of the beatdown.

MARY:
The pain wasn’t over yet, boys. Final core burn before the bell.
• Eggplant, clearly still suffering cranial trauma from his southern hemisphere incident, called burpees during Mary.
• YHC reeled it back in with American Hammers – proper and patriotic.
• SquatNcough attempted some Frankenstein flutter-fusion madness involving flutter kicks, feet at 10 inches, then 6, then some bizarre flutter twitching. It was less Mary, more interpretive dance.
• PAX revolted. Coup declared. Mary was finished.
⸻
CLOSING:
• Count-Off
• Name-O-Rama
• Announcements & Prayers
• Then: The Photo – as always, a proud capture of grit (no smiles)… but heed this warning: SquatNcough’s short shorts may have betrayed us all and turned this into an NSFW “bubblegum” pic.

COT Commenced.
Men shared, connected, prayed. Iron sharpened iron. The mission lived on.
