Ok Ok Ok Ok - I'll admit it. I can no longer watch this WORKOUT group go down the Cotswold shitter. And I'm talking about Metro because nobody gives a horses ass about anything happening in Portland or Seattle or Fort Mill or...you get the point. Dread and some guy by the name of OBT ripped this great idea of working out in the morning outside off Campos 10 years ago. It was great. Good dudes. Good workouts. Mostly good BackBlasts via email or MySpace.com. That is what brought people out. Especially new dudes. Loved the workouts and loved reading about all the funny shit that happened during the workout. And seeing their name. Good ol days. Miss you Ben Franklin.
Now there is so much bullshit going on that A. Nobody writes BB and B. 99% of the workouts suck. To be clear, walking around with a backpack on is not working out. Neither is carrying around a log with 3 other dudes INSIDE a garage that TigerKingSnoop colored in his camper (Love ya Snoop!). And enough of the DreadSource please. Or can you just start another group and call it BBD? BrainwashedByDread. You gentlemen can think on your own and have your own ideas. It's a liberating feeling.
Ok I'm about finished with this bottle of tequila and starting to fall off my soapbox. This is my 2021 warning shot. Swindy is coming for you. To get things going, I'm going to show all the new dudes who I've been mentoring over at PWW and RAnGEr (I see you Crabs) how things use to be. Here is a real BB (Not some bizzaro Rev ramble (at least he tries)) from the last workout in late February before some people pretended to close the workouts down for COVID. Tank BB from 02/20:
Yes - Cougz knows how to text!
And I’ll be dammed if THE Cougar (Redwood) actually showed up with his FNG in tow. Have to give him credit. At least he brought someone out to help F3 out with our demographics. A white middle-aged banker. #progress
This workout was pure chaos. Even by my standards. By my count, we had 5 different workouts going on at the same time at one point. Try to follow along here…
First 15 (Total of 5)
This was a fairly straight forward EC outside WHATdidn't?! stopping at Arts for a side of onion rings. Just your typical 2 mile super loop up Kenilworth, over on McDowell, and down Morehead. No causalities to report. YET.
Next 45 (Total of 15)
You can imagine my surprise when I saw the Spanish American War hero Cougar actually stumbling out of the parking lot when we went back to pick up the rest of the crew. My immediate thought was that I needed to drop him ASAP in order not to give him any false hopes that he was going to keep up the entire time. So immediately hauled ass over to Kenilworth and over to the secret makeout path through Pearl Street Park. 'Bisco told me he got to 2nd base with a PAX's girlfriend over there. Stopped at the top of Baxter St to asses the damage. Banged out 20 merkins and noticed Cougz and what I thought his FNG just coming out onto Baxter St. Shit – not dropped yet. Still officially 15 so off we go. Left on McDowell and up Morehead St to EZ Ringz old Pirate Ship of a work space. We attempted to do Maybe’s?? Yoga poses but nobody wanted to be seen in public doing that shit. And let’s face it, nobody wants to be seen in public with Maybe? in general. At this point, Cougz and his “buddy” were officially dropped.
