Showgirls for Floppy’s Birthday

  • When: 20200225
  • QIC: Floppy
  • The PAX: Greenbags, Peg (Respsect), Smokey, Milton, Fanny Pack, Flo, High Stick

Weather: Raining and high 50s

FNGs: Too scared

Warm-up:

  • Mosey to some shelter so we don’t melt
  • Random numbers of TTT, Imperial Walkers, and SSH
  • Mosey down the road until there was a big puddle to run through
  • Random numbers of Don Quixote
  • Mosey around the block (AKA the gameboard)

The Thang:

  • Split into two teams and head to the block pile
  • One team get 2 bricks each. The other team get 1 block each.
  • Mosey to the start of the “game board” and drop off coupons
  • A bag of large dice magically appeared! Oh man, each team gets their own pair!
  • Take advantage of the spray painted numbers and lines on the road from the Summerville Christmas Parade
  • Each team rolls their dice and advanced the number of spaces as the number on die. Roll the other die that has various exercises written on it that include:
    • Die 1 – Abs
      • burpees
      • LBCs
      • Peter Parkers
      • Flutter Kicks
      • American Hammer
      • Pax Choice
    • Die 2 – Legs
      • Monkey Humpers
      • Calf Raises
      • Jump Squats
      • Squats
      • Lunges
      • Pax Choice
  • The number of reps was determined by adding the numbers on the space that you landed on and doubling it. For example, if you landed on a space that had 204 written on it then it’s 2+0+4 = 6 then multiply by 2, so 12 reps.
  • When one team reached the end of the street we switched dice to vary the exercises.
  • The first team to make it back to start got to choose whether to take the new brick dice or the block dice. We chose bricks, leaving the blocks for the other team.
    • Repeat using the bricks or blocks for the next round of exercises (they were all arm and upper body exercises)
  • Due to time we made it about half way down the street and had to stow the coupons.
  • Mosey back to the flag
  • With a few minutes left it pays to be a winner with a Floppy Favorite, Showgirls! The winning team held people’s chair while the losers did 39 tricep dips off their legs. Did YHC mention it was his 39th birthday? It is (or was depending on when you’re reading this)

Moleskin:

  • The rain added a layer of suck. YHC being rusty from not Qing in so long added a layer of confusion suck. The competition and unknown variety of exercises added a layer of fun suck. Examples included a set of 32 jump squats followed by 30 monkey humpers followed by 24 jump squats. Oh Lawd! Also, the 18 burpees sucked too. There’s some tweaking to do but overall it’s was a pleasantly sucky experience.

Devo:

No matter your political views, the next 4 years will be interesting, but either way God knows and has a purpose. Trust Him.
