Celebrating Nation Fun at Work Day 2026

Date: 2026-01-30 AO: bomber Q: Vector , Firefox PAX: Chunks, Pep, CubCadet, DintyMoore, Tim the Toolman, Crawlspace FNGs: None COUNT: 8 YHC and his esteemed co-Q Firefox could have taken the easy route with a theme about ice or being stuck at home with no lights (I know, too soon.), but at F3 Nashville’s premier AO, we don’t get better by taking the easy way . . . So, today we recognize National Fun at Work Day (aside: how do these things become “official?” Can we just create a “National Bomber is the Best F3 Nashville AO Celebration” Day? )
CONDITIONS: Old and slippery (just ask YHC who stumbled, bonked a knee and definitely pulled my right ass cheek – not that the PAX knew anything about it, as I keep my medical issues private :face_with_rolling_eyes:. Rumor is Tim the Toolman pulled a “Grayson Allen” and tripped YHC.)
WARMUP: Carefully amble to Rec Center parking lot, armed with 3 bags of rice and 3 kettle bells. SSH x 20, LBAC x 15, Seal claps x 15, Overhead presses x 15, RLBAC x 15, WMH and Good Mornings OYO.
Because of a lot of PAX sass, a 10 burpee penalty was levied.
PLAYLIST: Ain’t It Fun – Paramore Working for the Weekend – Loverboy Everybody Have Fun Tonight – Wang Chung Work It – Missy Elliott Girls Just Want to Have Fun – Cyndi Lauper Work – Rihanna f. Drake Fun, Fun, Fun – Beach Boys We Can Work It Out – Beatles You Make Loving Fun – Fleetwood Mac Working in a Coalmine – Devo We Are Young – Fun.
THE THANG: WORK: Filing the T-P-S Reports 50 Tricep DIPs 100 Push Ups (modified from pull ups as playground was an ice rink) 200 Squats Run 3 circles around cul-de-sac between exercises
FUN (at work): Plank and kettle bell pull throughs Hollow Body Holds with Rice Bags Tight circle with weight passes
MOLESKINE: Great to see everyone and several comments about appreciating getting out of the various retreats/refuges and breaking the monotony.
COT: – Praises for hambone’s new addition (and thankful the scary day ended beautifully) – we’ve already named him BaconBit – Praises for the NES, safety, road workers helping get Nashville back on line. A lot of stress out there with homes cold, people displaced, and sad events like home fires, injuries. Now is when we can lead – step up and help in any way you can (and ask for help if you need it). – Prayers for my MIL and my M who is dealing with moving her mom our way (along with her 100 lb German Shepard) – leanpax is ongoing (even if many of us cracked like trees covered by ice — OK, ok too soon). Stay strong, HIM – only 2 weeks left! Try to make habits that you can carry forward.
MISCELLANY: – Great to see Crawlspace join the group after running 17 miles or something – Coffee at McD’s due to power outages and late starts at the usual haunts. CubCadet rejoiced at the prices and kindly paid $11 to get the whole PAX coffee (8/8 attended) – Do not (I repeat NOT) play Work It when standing next to Chunks – his booty shaking was, er, something. – The :bomb: AOQ handover is coming soon (as Pep noted, it’s the longest handover of an AO ever – going on 7 months it seems?). Who will be our new leader? It’s a mystery that can only be solved if you attend :bomb:
Grateful for all of you – SYITG Vec

WARMUP: SSH, Stretchin, Merkins, Imperial Walkers
THE THANG: Sandbags and Stairs
Pax split into two groups at the top of the stairs
Group 1 took one of non cinderblock coupons (40′ sand bag, 30′ ruck sack, 20′ ruck sack, 15′ weight vest) Group 2 stayed La Natural
Pax ran down the stairs, Group 1 performed 5 weighted squats at the base, Group 2 performed 5 burpees. On the return Group 2 Bunny Hopped up the Stairs (to make up for their lack of added weight)
Pax then switched, with Group 2 now carrying the weight, and repeated.
In between rounds PAX rested with 10 WW1s in cadence.
subsequent rounds involved bear crawls and lunges
Merry ended with a Pax calling out an exercise for the group while they performed 5 sand bag burpees.

Q: Vector
PAX: Chunks, CubCadet, DintyMoore, Firefox, Papa Bear, Pep, Sherlock, Strutter, Tim the Toolman
FNGs: None
COUNT: 10
To celebrate a slightly belated 8th Anniversary for YHC (I was EH’d by Ebola in Nov 2017 and had a hambone Q’d beatdown to introduce me to this non-cult cult), I decided to celebrate the musical tradition of sampling by sampling from my first Q. Vector from 8 years ago didn’t give me much to work with, but, like most sampled tunes, the end result is often worse than the original . . .

CONDITIONS: Slightly chilly but warm in our hearts

PLAYLIST: Legendary songs that sampled other works along with the originals

U Can’t Touch This – MC Hammer (which samples . . .)
Super Freak – Rick James
Ice Ice Baby – Vanilla Ice (which samples . . . )
Under Pressure – Queen and David Bowie
S.O.S. – Rhianna (which samples . . .)
Tainted Love – Soft Cell
Don’t Stop the Music – Rhianna (which samples . . . )
Wanna be Starting Somethin’ – Michael Jackson
Anxiety – Doechii (which samples . . . )
Somebody That I Used to Know – Gotye

WARMUP:
Taken from my first Q in March 2018:
GM x 12, WMH x 12, IW x 12, Squats x 12, LBAC x 12, RLBAC x 12

THE THANG:
The Original Vector Q Workout:
[Side note – 1) not sure how you do “reps” of bear crawls, 2) bear crawls AND burpeees? Jeez 2018 me, not cool.]
1) Bear crawl x 12
2) Dips on benches x 12
3) Pull-ups x 12
4) Burpees x 12

The Sample: Taking the original and making it better? worse? indifferent?
DORA with partner
Burpees x 100
Pull-ups x 200
Dips x 300
Run around Rec Center with a Bear Crawl on the last leg

Mary:
Did the 2018 Mary of Elbows to Knees L and R side x 12 each and followed by sampling to make better with “real” bicycles x 12 each side.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Grow School 12/6 (tomorrow)
2. Holiday Party Hair Band house 12/12 6p
3. Night Moves/After Hours 12/18

COT:
Words of gratitude, praises, prayers. Many prayers and gratitude for Pep’s new computer (like there was A LOT of discussion about this). Appreciated the arrival of HRS Chunks-N-Stuff and that they did not leave once they heard 200 pull-ups and 100 burpees on the docket! Thankful for all the HIM who came out and continue to push me to be harder, better, faster, stronger (see the Kanye sample I threw in there?). SYITG, Vec
