Bomber Nostalgia – A Legend Returns

AO: bomber
Q: Vector , t-cell
PAX: Papa Bear, Hedwig, Sherlock, Puzzlah, Grape, Tim the Toolman, Michelin Man, Firefox, CubCadet, DintyMoore, Topps, Steampunk
FNGs: None
COUNT: 14
Firefox arranged another hybrid Q bringing back a Bomber legend, t-cell, to Q . . . along with some other dude. In order to “set the mood,” the playlist focused on the Qs’ guilty pleasure: pop music princesses. That’s right – not a single song prior to 2014. That means no 80s songs or Beatles tunes, Pep. One disclaimer: YHC was struck when reviewing the playlist how many F bombs were dropped by these talented women. C’mon, you don’t need to curse to attain pop superstardom – ask Salt N’ Pepa . . .

CONDITIONS: Nostalgic

WARMUP: t-cell leads in a mosey around the AOQ. There may have been some signs of tears as he recalled the days of princessaurora and Hi-Viz (who??).

THE THANG:
#1: t-cell favorite – parking lot shuffle with escalating exercises of burpees, 2 jump squats, and some merkins. A little bit of mumblechatter about speaker volume and the tawdry subtext of these fine pop tunes.

#2: After being gassed from the shuffle, YHC took over to do DIDs at the startex (another t-cell classic) followed by a partner run around the Rec Center Circle highlighted by more burpees, squats, Iron Mikes, and merkins.

Mary to round it off with my 2.0, Steampunk, brazenly throwing out fingertip merkins as the next exercise. Needless to say, I a) was a proud papa and b) totally modified those buggers.

COT: Words or praise, prayers, and gratitude shared. This was also a celebration of my 2.1’s graduation from St. Cecilia Academy later Friday – she’s her own diva/princess of whom this dad is extremely proud.

Ended with a demand that coffeeteria heads to Dose to keep with the nostalgic spirit as well as the demands of our guest – the way many PAX became salty after that announcement made YHC think t-cell had asked for another round of fingertip merkins. Sheesh . . .

Always great to see F3 Nashville royalty at the Most Respected AO in Nashville. Come back again!
