“I like music that sounds like shit.”
Orange Crush could never forget the first time he heard Radiohead’s ‘OK Computer’ at a Boberry Q celebrating the 25th anniversary of that legendary album. It was a life changing moment for OC. An aural awakening. Something opened up for him: a new tempo to his life, a new soundtrack for his soul. Deep down in the recesses of OC’s subconscious, Thom Yorke was crooning.
Had Orange Crush actually showed up this morning for his own Q, he would have found 18 men and a special edition of the Ghost Flag: Radiohead’s ‘Kid A’ 25th anniversary celebration led by Boberry and Snuff. Because one man’s shit is another man’s song.
Warmarama:
25 burpees, indigenous people run to the lot, 25 SSH, helicopters, hairy rockettes, American Hammers, shoulder taps, Mountain climbers.
Mosey to the pavilion for the 80/20 rule: 20 mirkins in the middle then 80 each of at the corners of the field: 80 SSH, 80 LBC, 80 flutters, 80 squats.
Triple check with dips and step ups.
Mosey to the center of the soccer field where we all lay in a circle with our heads to the speaker, admiring the halo around the moon. 50 heels to heaven, then elbow planks and pickle pounders while Snuff talked about his Parisian days in haze of hash smoke. American Hammers with duck duck goose.
Mosey to the lot for some curb hoppers. Back towards the flag with a stop to pay the toll: dirkins and dips.
Circle up for 13 burpees: Belay’s age when Kid A came out. Lieutenant Dans until the end of the song, with Nancy Lopez unsure if it would ever end.
COT and prayers.
