Seven men of questionable judgment posted forth in The Gloom to experience the pre-dawn mist that is First Watch. Temperatures remained 70 and sunny. According to Handshake’s high school sex crush, the following might have happened:
COP: mosey to the corner of Westam, South Ridge, and Cameron…50 SSHs, Dead Man Hang, downward dog, left leg high, right leg high, 10 hand-release merkins…
…mosey to the corner of South Ridge and Country Squire (coincidentally, Country Squire was Handshake’s nickname at VMI, and it’s inscribed on his travel sized Confederate Flag, handy for trips to foreign destinations, such as West Point, NY, USA). Semper paratus. YHC digresses… exercises included monkey humpers, squats, WWIIs.
…Mosey to South Ridge and Ross. Exercises included more hand release merkins, American Civil Wars (heels to Heaven plus a sit-up), and LBCs.
…Mosey to South Ridge and Overlook…more exercises, including merkins, Hello Dolly’s, and some other stuff.
…Mosey to the yellow sign most of the way down South Ridge for some other exercises…
…Mosey to the first of 6 signs at The Bottom of South Ridge (and emerge from the fog)…
Partner up for Partner Suicides.
Round 1: merkins and run to the first sign.
Round 1: WWIIs and run to the second sign.
Round 1: LBCs and run to the third sign.
Round 1: Monkey Humpers and run to the fourth sign.
Round 5: SSHs and run to the fifth sign.
Back up the hill…
…stopping at the sign (10 HRMs), the first street (10 HRMs and 20 WWIIs), the second street (10 HRMs, 20 SSHs, and 30 LBCs), and the fourth street (10 HRMs, 20 SSHs, 30 American Civil Wars, 40 LBCs).

Numbers, names, and YHC took us out.
Prayers for Charlotte, Fudd’s sister, and about 3 groups YHC didn’t catch.

NMS: Coffeeteria a good time as always. Some VMI stories from the 1980s sometimes sound like they could have been VMI stories from the 1880s.
