“What is Tecumseh” and other Fuzzy Recollections

AO: BombSquad

Conditions: Perfect

YHC has been MIA for over 2 months due to work commitments and Covid so getting back in the Gloom has been a struggle not only physically but also mentally. With that said, YHC was looking forward to Qing. Because I lost my fitness over the past few months, YHC had to keep the beatdown light; heck would I even remember the names of the exercises or how to count in cadence? I worked on a Weinke leading up to my Q and felt that it would be acceptable for the Pax. Read on to see what I think happened.

The THANG

F3 Jeopardy: 5 Categories – “F3 Exercises”; “Middle Names”; “The Presidents”; “F3 Terminology”; & “Potpourri”. Pax had the option to choose the number of reps (10, 20, 30,40,or 50) they wanted to bet on each category.

Sade  was first & chose “Middle Names” for 50 Reps

Answer: This is Harry S. Truman’s Middle Name

Question: “What is “S” – Harry Truman did not have a middle name

Note: Rubber thought he had a good guess and offered help to Sade. Even though Sade’ had no response he hesitantly acquiescenced to Rubber who offered up “Tecumseh” which the rest of the PAX quickly pointed out did not start with “S” nor have and “S” sound . .. Nice try Rubber but Tecumseh is actually the middle name of William Tecumseh Sherman who was a Civil War General but never a President.

Mosey to the Cross

 

Spork chose “F3 Exercises” for 40 reps & YHC reduced it to 30 reps for the FNG

Answer: This exercise is performed by bending at the knees and grabbing your ankles while pumping your rump up & down in cadence.

Question: What are Monkey Humpers – Spork gave the correct exercise name but failed to give it in the form of a question as required & aptly pointed out by Brown Bag.

5:56 – Time Called

Count-o-Rama = 11

Name-o-Rama

Name of the FNG: FNG was welcomed into the middle to the circle to tell us a little about himself.(Note: no pants were dropped). Beefsteak EH’d him at the YMCA. His brother-in-law (Kieser from Fort Mills) has been trying to get him out in the Gloom for over 1 year. He oversees operations for all Pizza Huts in the GrandStrand and Georgetown region. Suggested names were: “Pizza the Hut”; Domino; and many others pizza themed suggestions. Because our FNG’s sponsor (Beefsteak was MIA), YHC had the honor of dubbing our newest Pax . . .”DoughBoy”

Announcements: Freed to Bleed at end of October, Operation Christmas Shoebox (Pikachu has made the process E-A-S-Y; get on Slack, click the link, & get it done!!); Halloween Convergence at Warthog (10/30/2021)

Prayers/Praise Report – YHC prayed us out.

Moleskin: No tunes were played during this beatdown; limited exercises were performed; lots of laughs were had; Sprints are the new Burpees; everyone pushed themselves mentally & physically; no stretching was done (oops);and most importantly DoughBoy was welcomed into our brotherhood.

MMS: If this Backblast is not exactly as other PAX remember it YHC sincerely apologizes. My memory like the gloom quickly fades after a Q. After 2+ weeks between Beatdown and  Backblast, I’m happy that any of these ramblings reflect what went down!!

 

Always an Honor!!
