    The mist in our headlamps made the entire run feel like we were moving at ludicrous speed.  Shame on you if you don’t know where the reference comes from.  You’d probably dare to jam our radar with raspberry and your Schwartz definitely isn’t as big as ours.

    Great to have CB return to First Watch after a long hiatus.  I’m sure the regulars are sad to have missed him.  The upper body was hit hard, then the lower body was hit harder.  Then a nice long cool down mosey.  The weather was almost too mild.  YHC felt naked from the shoulders to the head band with no foreskin.  Perhaps a cooling version should be the next addition to the line.

    Welcome Banjo for his first tour of Currahee proper.  His real introduction will be getting lost in Deep Run Park.  Pinto gave us an Irish goodbye as we crossed over Gaskins.  Either Gypsy stood up Blue Moon or there was a miscommunication.  Somehow Handshake knew and went to the Tunnel.  Happy Friday the 13th, look out for crazed machete wielding hockey players.  Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, make your lady feel real special by buying all the discount flowers and candy on Sunday.

    YHC believes Curling is awesome, Bodos disagrees.  Bodos is wrong.  U.S. Men’s Bobsledding needs more practice.  Apologizes for the lateness of the backblast.  A little forgetful since I’m not a millennial.

    • R on Pump
    • R on Buffapple
    • L on Singingwoods

    All 10 PAX were successful in today’s mission.  No injuries reported.  Gypsy’s 3.0 wore a sweet moomoo, but looked more like a canine snuggy.  Crotch-Gate is a thing.  Yahoo has the story.  Somehow it doesn’t involve our 1st F putting tube socks down his shorts.

    Plenty of safe (enough) places to workout this morning.  YHC dropped a couple of bombs.  Handshake prefers Attila’s flavor.  Gomer Pyle has a weird Dolly Parton fetish.  Wojo’s still rocking the same sweats since high school.  Tater uses double protection, two hats, at all times.  Pinto is a hot potato Pro, thanks for allowing me to lead.

    What YHC thought might be a brisk mosey/ walk, turned into 5 plus miles and a 5k PR (at least for 2025) thanks to Chippendale’s arrival.  No rest for the weary afterall.  Happy New Year.

    Apparently today is National Short Person Day.  YHC is exactly the US average and a solid inch and a half over the world average, so not sure why Splinter shared that with me.  Doesn’t matter anyway when you far eclipse some more important averages, like intelligence, looks, athleticism, length and girth.  I would enjoy watching this PAX play basketball against another AO though.  Bring it on Alamo A$$clowns or Deep D-Bags.

    The Punisher isn’t always punishing, but always a good time.  Chum’s neighbors need a few more Christmas lights.  If you see a dog on the loose in the Northside, well I didn’t get the name or number, but someone wants him back.  Solid 2nd F at Dots Back Inn.
