Titan: Another Father-(Not Quite) Son Co-Q . . . with Music Trivia!

Date: 2026-07-29 AO: Titan Q: Vector , Topps PAX: Papa Bear, Sherlock, Pep, bluemule, Dangle, Thomas T, Topps, Vector, DintyMoore, CubCadet, Tim the Toolman, Churro, Rhombus, xxx FNGs: None COUNT: 14 In a sequel to the excellent Not Really Father-Son Co-Q between CubCadet and Thomas T (Steampunk), Topps and YHC tried to match the (not quite) father-son energy. And of course, we brought cards . . . and there was music. A lot of music.
CONDITIONS: Muggy with a splash of music
WARMUP: Mosey to front of Parthenon. SSH, LBAC, Overhead Presses, Moroccan Night Clubs, RLBAC, WMH, and Good Mornins.
THE THANG: Topps brought a game that has become a recent favorite of the Cubby and Vector clans — Hitster (not to be confused with our favorite PAX from across the river Hipster). In the game, a song snippet is played. The PAX had to guess the year it was released (and they were not told anything about the song like artist/title/etc. — just the music). With each song, you had to place it on the timeline (e.g., if prior songs were from 1985 and 2003, you had to decide where your song sits in relation). If correct, less reps. If incorrect, double reps. If miss 2 in a row — gotta run a lap.
Exercises included SSH, squats, merkins, LBCs, Crunchy Happy Frogs (aka “Lemon Squeezers” according to Topps), shoulder taps.
MARY: Mosey back to startex for Flutter Kicks and Freddy Mercurys.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: – CSAUP postponed – Check Slack – Bomber converges at Handsomizer this week- :crossed_fingers:for a Karen experience
COT: – Prayers for Squatter
– Thanks to the PAX for tolerating a few moments of technical issues as we started the game. – YHC somehow worked up a sweat despite not being able to do most of the exercise so that the game kept a good pace . . . I was not sad – YHC’s tech issues continued into the COT, as I forgot to record the PAX video and instead had 5 mins of our post name-o-rama recorded on my phone. Anyone get the name of our Willy Lohman? – Thomas T has been placed in Vector music remediation class all day for his incorrect placement of Daft Punk’s Get Lucky, a song that he was actually alive when it was released. He’s got an immersive curriculum that includes episodes of VH1’s Behind the Music, the Summer of Soul documentary, and Vanilla Ice’s 1991 romantic musical movie, Cool as Ice. Pray for him. – Great to have Churro and Rhombus come out — we are claiming them as FNGs as per the Respect Appendix, section 5, subsection Viii. SalPal discuss with CubCadet any concerns.

May the Westeros Be With You

Date: 2026-05-04 AO: Westeros Q: Vector , PAX: Papa Bear, Shy Guy, Pep, Spinal Tap, Vector, bluemule, CubCadet, Tim the Toolman, Natural Ice, Squatter, Topps FNGs: None COUNT: 11 A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (well, in Missouri in 1977), YHC was 7 and his parents took him to see Star Wars (not “Episode 4” or “A New Hope” – in my day we just had one trilogy and we liked it). Needless to say, it was incredible and unlike anything young soon-to-be-named-Vector had experience. After many sequels and countless $$$ spent on action figures (which I still have in my collectable Darth Vader head container), it remains a strong childhood memory (despite later diversions into midachloridians and Jar Jar). So to celebrate May the 4th/Star Wars Day, the PAX re-enacted that first SW movie. So let’s go shoot at whomp rats and get going . . .
CONDITIONS: Crisp and bright, like a two sun sunrise on Tattooine.
WARMUP: Stormtrooper Hops, Imperial Walkers, Little Yoda Arm Circles, Tauntaun claps, Overhead force presses, Reverse Little Yoda Arm Circles, Jar Jars (Michael Phelps)
THE THANG: #1 Take the Droids to the Old Man: Coupon Rows and Burpees (for R2 and Ben) for 22s (double because Artoo . . . )
Break to do the Kessel Run — not sure anyone made it under 12 parsecs
#2 Find a Pilot: Ring of Fire with coupon presses — all made it and were deemed worthy pilots
#3 Rescue the Princess: Lunges (for Leia) and Star Jumps in a round of 11s (representing the 11 live action released SW films — sorry, Mando – your film ain’t out yet so doesn’t count)
#4 Attack the Death Star Ring of Fire with merkins and advance into circle with each rep.
Mary: Force flutter kicks, Bounty Hunter Boxcutters, Death Star Dollys
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Check Slack – Holy Smokers, Juicy J marathon
COT: – Prayers for Squatter and his M and 2.0. While the workout and theme was done in fun, life can be serious. We lift up Squatter and his family — know that you have many brothers here to offer payers, support, love, anything you need.
RANDOM NOTES: – Appreciate the level of SalPal’s SW nerdom – Appreciate bluemule noting halfway through the work out that there was no way we’d get through all of the movie plots in time (Hmm, Empire next week?) – Glad I could feed Natural Ice’s Weird Al fandom once again with 2 deep cuts – It ain’t easy to plan a full playlist with SW themed songs, but I did have the disco version of SW theme that went to number one on the charts (it was 1977: all we had was disco, Star Wars and cocaine . . . )
PLAYLIST: Star Wars Main Title – John Williams/London Symph Orchestra Cantina Band – John Williams/London Symph Orchestra The Saga Begins – Weird Al I’m the Droid (You’re Looking For – Nerf Herder The Imperial March – John Williams/London Symph Orchestra Star Wars Theme – Meco Yoda – Weird Al Chewbacca – Supernova Return of the Jedi – Alex Jean The Empire Strikes Back – Meco Dual of the Fates – John Williams/London Symph Orchestra The Throne Room/End Titles – John Williams/London Symph Orchestra
