What had happened was:
Only Coffee — A Backblast
0730. Real men were out there doing burpees somewhere in the gloom, and Mad Dog rolled over to look at the time, and had what scientists call an “involuntary tactical knee injury.” Thankfully Elmers — like the glue, holds this F3 region together with sheer stubbornness and a thermos of coffee tea— was suffering from the exact same mysterious ailment at the exact same moment. Two grown men, separately and yet somehow in perfect unison, decided the real workout today was lifting a coffee cup to their mouths repeatedly. Reps were brutal. Form was excellent.
What started as a “we’ll just stretch and skip today” turned into Mad Dog and Elmers unofficially co-Qing Only Coffee — leading a workout with a HC of two, a SYIA count of zero, and a Coupon count of zero, unless you count the donut Elmers “accidentally” brought. PAX who actually did the real beatdown rolled in afterward, soaked in sweat and self-righteousness, only to find their two “leaders” reclined in chairs discussing buzz balls and grandkids like a couple of retired colonels. No mosey, no mary, no mumblechatter about pull-up bars — just two dudes, two cups, and zero shame. SYITG, fellas. We’ll see y’all out there next week. Probably.
