It felt like a scene from Field of Dreams watching the cars roll in this morning, YHC was genuinely surprised at our numbers. Twenty-two strong at the House of Pain. Some very elite HIM”s getting out and making the effort this morning. The HoP usually averages 11 PAX so doubling that number was a welcome change!
~YHC would like to pause this backblast and publicly apologize to Floyd for making a killer steel emoji on our Churham Slack. I should have sent you a nice thank you .gif or fun youtube video, but instead YHC will have to direct message Floyd a link to Ruben Studdard”s smash hit “Sorry 2004” ~
The Thang –

On to “Tater Tot”s Favorite Spot” (TM)
1”s find a dipping spot; 2”s find some wall, hold the steel out at 45 degrees
1”s count dips for 20 (Thanks Assisi for leading that count); switch for another 20-count dip
REPEATO!
1”s Bearcrawl from font door to far parking lot island, 2”s steel up overhead and lunge walk (which turned into just hold the steel and lunge walk there)
Switch steel, turn around and come back!
1”s run with steel to next corner, 2”s sprint and SSH while they wait. Switch at next corner and then keep going down the hill, stop after the speed bump (YHC allegedly said second speed bump, you can”t prove it thought).
After the run down the hill, the PAX had time for a Great While Wall-Sit. All steel is dropped, plus we found 3 more fun pieces hidden by YHC beforehand! Wow, let”s share these as well! Wall sit, shoulder-to-shoulder, pass the steel down the line. Finish up just in time for Mary – run to the roped off lot and circle up.
Mary –
Plank hold while the steel and non-steel holders show up.
Flutter kicks for 30 count
Heels to heaven for 25 count
Superman for 1 minute (PAX were encouraged to hold hands and Riggs may have brushed some cheeks)
Freddy Mercury for 20 count
That”s it!
Name-o-rama and CoT –
- Elf reminded the PAX about a great opportunity to serve kids at a local MDA Summer Camp at Camp Hanes. The dates are June 3-9 and they are in need of more male counselors and helpers. If you are able to serve, connect with Elf! It”s a great 3rd F opportunity to give your life away for a week this summer.
- NO HoP next week. Go to Ramses for a Wednesday Convergence!
- Prayers for Foot Fault”s 2.0 due next week and for all the other incoming 2.0s.
