In honor of Scott Q making the video, for the first time since Jan 23, 2009, I wore my shirt the entire WOD, yes, I noticed Vaughn and Paul trying hard to not tear up but it is proper to honor Scott, who by his amazing DL has achieved honorary Clydesdale status.
I will remind Scott however he has only recently joined the shirtless brigade since returning safely to us however, we are not accepting members who have more than one ab and weigh in under 200 lbs.
Remember it is not funny if you look good without your shirt, if we held you down and feed you pizza and beer you may go into some type of shock, so enjoy your moment, you have earned it….
Signed, Sin City Clydesdales

Watched Jon M do this a few weeks ago. Looks awesome, can’t wait.
September 25th, 2009 on 9:06 am
Maybe with Scott Q’s newfound fame, he can sell is shirts at the FGBIV fundraiser tomorrow. I’m sure there’s a huge market for them…
September 25th, 2009 on 9:10 am
Maybe Scott could sell his man jewelry, man purse, and/or slippers- Hell we could set up a booth and people could take pictures with him like he was Mohammad Ali…

Sean,
if you are still cool with having a roommate for 3 weeks shoot me an e-mail. pmaccone at yahoo dot com
Thanks man. I promise I’ll vacuum up all the hair and I only enjoy spooning after scary movies.
September 25th, 2009 on 9:44 am
DF Pete- Cool points to you if you get THIS movie quote right:
“You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity”
September 25th, 2009 on 9:45 am
What Mike really meant was he hoped Scott would set up a kissing booth…DF(I still question this) Pete is not allowed.
September 25th, 2009 on 9:45 am
umm..actually back in DC Rich S. Can’t wait for FGB tomorrow.
September 25th, 2009 on 10:01 am
Kassi,
wasn’t that something Aaron said to Jon a week or two ago?
September 25th, 2009 on 10:18 am
Has anyone done this workout yet? It looks brutal! I’m curious…
September 25th, 2009 on 10:22 am
Sally,
I did it a few weeks ago, during lunch on Monday, and in the shower this morning. It’s no problem.
Plan on doing something else after this.
September 25th, 2009 on 10:22 am
Sally, It wasn’t too bad. I got in 261/2 rounds using #25 DBs, I think I could have gone heavier.
September 25th, 2009 on 10:28 am
I love it when people throw down the burns for me while I’m away from the computer.
I am trying not to cheat by looking it up. I know the line. A woman says it to a man … I can almost picture it in my head.
In my quest for Clydesdale status I did my lifting yesterday.
Squats 5×300, 300, 300.
Presses 5×130, 3×130, 2×130, 1×140 (not what I was hoping for)
Power Cleans: 3×210, 210, 210, 210, 210.
I need to get fractional plates for the presses. I am not good enough at them to expect to go up 5lbs every time I lift.
September 25th, 2009 on 10:39 am
Thanks guys. Awesome work Cindy!
I just dread burpees. BUT in effort to embrace my weaknesses (as Brian thinks I need to do), I can’t wait for burpees and cleans! Sigh.
September 25th, 2009 on 10:42 am
Kassi,
It is obviously Toy Story. Buzz Lightyear all the way.
September 25th, 2009 on 10:48 am
Jason,
You totally looked that up!!! Admit it!
September 25th, 2009 on 10:53 am
Jason WINS! Love that movie, I have no shame.
And Aaron, Buzz Lightbeer, I mean Lightyear, says it to Woody.
September 25th, 2009 on 10:55 am
Question for Vegas Mike,
I would definitely go into shock if you fed me pizza and beer right now, I am also severely underweight to be a clydesdale. However, I could follow in Aaron’s footsteps by drinking a pail of milk every morning and probably take care of those problems. But, like Aaron, I still might have abs.
Therefore, my question is this, if you look funny with your shirt ON, does that automatically make you look funny with shirt off? Being pale as a cavefish, I think even with abs I’d look goofy as hell and qualify if I could add the weight and about 150# to my deadlift.
September 25th, 2009 on 10:58 am
Kassi, dont get too excited but I saw a commercial last night for a special 3-D doubl-feature of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 coming to select theaters in October.
Cant wait to not do this workout and rest up for FGB tomorrow.

September 25th, 2009 on 11:08 am
Sally, I have a received guidance from on high that in order to perform well at FGB the following should occur:
1. avoid push presses the day before
2. rest as much as possible
3. avoid drinking a ton
I am shooting to accomplish at least 2 of the 3…

My abs are quickly disappearing and my clothes are starting to fit funny. I only got 3/4 of a gallon of milk yesterday so I tried to make up for it with a double bacon cheeseburger and some beer.

Person 2: I’ll get inside your face.
September 25th, 2009 on 11:18 am
Ahhhh Frizz, the questions that have tortured mankind since time began, shirts or skins. As a former basketball standout, Sally, can you chime in? If you research our Paelo ancestors, shirts were definitely optional.
Scott who accentuates his manliness by adorning the trinkets of tribal life. Much like a russian crime lord with tattoos, Scotts jewelry tells his life story. Also, each ab is a mark of pride for those who suffer thru diet and cardio. He is allowed to display said marks because of his DL and only because of this.
Rich, as you see rarely goes “un clothed” because, he as you describe, is as white as a cavefish. Hi “whiteness is also evident by his strange, epileptic dance moves and love of female drinks(he was overheard quoting Sex in the City). We are still hoping the other one will drop, one day.
If your desire is to run with the Clydesdale, be not afraid, embrace your lack of svelte and eat with gusto. I mean, we all have seen how little the ab crowd can truly drink and remember no matter what they say, a woman will always be impressed by the amount of alcohol you can consume. This is why we enjoy the company of Erika, who repeatedly can out consume her male half. Thats right Aaron, stay on the porch with the milk.
In the words of Magic Don Juan, “shake what your mama gave ya”
humor is the desired affect, you make the call
Vegas Mike out…..

I.cant.even.respond.
However, 4 things are happening tonight (and 1 tomorrow)
a) I am going to tanning booth. Thanks for the recommendation Guch.
b) I am watching a Rambo and Rocky marathon to overcome my Sex and the City quote (which in my defense was calling Paul the name Samantha due to his cosmo tastes and love of the ..well, you know)
c) Buying Wade Robson’s latest dance video about how to hip-hop dance
d) Throwing away all my shirts so i can partake in all the glory of FGB tomorrow
e) Destroy Vegas Mike’s clydesdale ass in FGB tomorrow in order to become an honorary member and then cause the group to faction from the inside through MOOB bites, sugary drinks and cuddle hours.
September 25th, 2009 on 11:29 am
One last point Frizz, beer was invented by monks, men of God, it is a gift from the heavens not to be taken lightly…..think about it
September 25th, 2009 on 11:29 am
Thanks Vegas Mike, that is illuminating.
Since going on the Paleo challenge with Jon, I’ve also been going to the noon workouts. Probably, at least subconsciously, to hide from the other crossfitters my diminishing frame.
Given my Scottish Irish ancestry, I’m probably shaming my ancestors by not drinking and by endangering my ability to lift heavy logs, rocks and other gravity enhanced objects. I will have to ponder this deeply once I return carbs to my diet and am able to think straight again (beer makes things clear.)

Kassi,
The first quote is from Talladega Nights. But not the second quote between the 2 people. Different movie.
September 25th, 2009 on 12:39 pm
Sally, I dont know and cant think that far ahead but I would imagine it involves college football and the drink of the gods…reference Vegas Mike’s post above
September 25th, 2009 on 12:46 pm
Rich, I almost heard the sound of the other one dropping, you go boy hahahahahah. I want to see you crush my score with me on your back, Kyle is willing to jump on for added difficulty. If that doesnt cover it, the spidermonkey will attack you from above. Keep going Samantha, Carrie is looking for you…….
September 25th, 2009 on 12:59 pm
Because we are all going to be at FGB tomorrow, I’m going to say this early… Happy Birthday, Sally!!!
September 25th, 2009 on 1:05 pm
All, don’t forget about tomorrow’s Quincy Park FGB BBQ 2pm. After that, some of us will be heading on into Clarendon somewhere, for tequila shots, girlie drinks, human deadlifting and handstand pushu…errrr trashcan diving.

does anyone want my CSA veggies? Email me. First come gets it. jaredmcqueen at gmail dot com

39.3 subbed hang power cleans for the regular power clean and pushups for burpees. No run. A lot of arm going on in this wod, thanks Brian.
September 25th, 2009 on 2:23 pm
Any of the Friday blog lurkers want to split a winter vegetable CSA subscription 50/50? It’s mostly greens and sweet potatoes. After signing up for the summer CSA and buying meat from Alison, I never had to go to the grocery store anymore, which left me tons of extra time to do the burgener warmup and proprioceptory neuromotor facilitation. That was deadpan humor, in case it’s hard to tell on the internet. If you already checked out Drea’s pitch but don’t want to front the entire cost, email me at zackpars at gmail.
September 25th, 2009 on 2:35 pm
Thanks Lynette!
I will be at (D) all of the above!
September 25th, 2009 on 2:40 pm
Rich, we keep lobbing these softballs, well, your softball at Scott Q and he has yet to answer, is he shopping for more tribal trinkets?????
September 25th, 2009 on 2:50 pm
Brian W-
In an effort to raise more money, maybe we can set up a MOOB/man-nipple biting booth for Rich S?
and that’s right our pc pcf members…i did post the word “nipple”. But its ok in my book bc its in reference to the male chest only…
September 25th, 2009 on 3:00 pm
Rich, is Mike H showing the green monster of envy, either he is upset you bit someone else or perhaps, it is he who wished to bite??????????? what do you think???
September 25th, 2009 on 3:09 pm
Scott Q.,
Before tomorrow’s FGB and to celebrate your Clysdale status I heard you are getting your right nipple pierced today. I don’t know why you’ve waited this long. I think it’s gonna look awesome.
Sugar,
My list of things to do before tomorrow is similar to yours only with a slight modification. On top of my list is manscaping.
Rich S.
You don’t need a tanning booth. You could get tan on a rainy day.
Vegas Mike,
Stop recruiting efforts of 6 pack club members. In an effort to achieve Clydsdale status, people are drinking gallon of milk a day, walking around wearing diapers. It breaks my heart to see a former 6 pack club member trading their abs with a mad case of diarriah in search of happiness in Clydsdale. I also know about your failed attempt to breast feed Rich S. last week. What were you thinking?
September 25th, 2009 on 3:10 pm
I have to concur…this is the second or third post this week about this from Mike H.
I know his performance has been slacking recently causing his compression outfit to be a little, shall we say, snugly fitting?…but I didn’t know his panties were quite in a bunch as this.
Maybe to settle it, we should have a MOOB off to see who has the best MOOBs in the gym upon which I will be sure to take note at the next happy hour.
September 25th, 2009 on 3:11 pm
Damn it Mike H.,
You’ve beat me to the nipple.
September 25th, 2009 on 3:13 pm
haha…Guch..phenomenal…GOMAD and MOOBs spliced into one joke about breast feeding. I knew you were a uniter but not to this degree of perfection.
And, Guch, you and I don’t run with the fads…6 months ago it was cool to be part of SHAPE and now the Clydesdale club…pretty soon they will be back…they all come crawling back (in their diapers necessitated from drinking too much milk)
September 25th, 2009 on 3:24 pm
OK so we have a big announcement.
Sally’s birthday will be celebrated by all at 8pm on Saturday at Hard Times second floor. It’s official.
Be there, she loves your lives.
September 25th, 2009 on 3:25 pm
Rich, that kind of talk with get you a late night ninja visit from the spidermonkey. Kyle will throw him thru your window and all hell will break lose.
Guch, dont be angry, get off the bench and come in for the big win, add weight and enjoy life. One day when we are all in our ethereal form looking down on the living people, we will regret no having that extra beer and pizza slice. Anyone can have abs, it is a skill to keep it as one ab……
September 25th, 2009 on 3:26 pm
Also, in response to your earlier question Vegas…I preferred the “Scott Q in Pakistan” to the current version for a number of reasons:
1) Scott Q use to actually respond on the blog during the day
2) I didn’t have to watch him take off his shirt during the warm-up for heavy back squats
3) I use to think Q stood for something mysterious..now, I know it is an abbreviation for questionable tastes in jewelry
4) I enjoyed mocking the inflated numbers he daily posted from Pakistan
5) Seeing a full moon only use to be a monthly occurrence rather than the daily occurrence at WOD attended by Scott
September 25th, 2009 on 3:34 pm
So does that make him Scott 2.0?
September 25th, 2009 on 3:44 pm
22 + 4 (scaled weights)
September 25th, 2009 on 3:48 pm
nah, Kassi, that would be implying an upgrade.
For all the techies out there (umm..Ryan P. looking at you), Scott Q in Pakistan to the current version is like going from Windows 98 to Windows ME.
No one was happy with it, it was incredibly instable and unreliable and frequently froze in important situations. Luckily people have forgot about it as quickly as possible.
I can only hope…
September 25th, 2009 on 4:00 pm
Windows ME was total crap
September 25th, 2009 on 4:01 pm
Rich, now that is not nice, he may be at a Phish or Grateful Dead show picking out more man trinkets……
September 25th, 2009 on 4:15 pm
31+5, 25#
September 25th, 2009 on 6:34 pm
For the record Vegas Mike, I like MOOB/nipple clips and not MOOB/nipple biting- so i am not jealous.
Since FGB is tomorrow, I have to start coordinating my outfit- Scott Q- would it be better to coordinate a matching bandana, toe ring, thumb ring, or anklet to my WOD clothing? I am looking for something that really pops!
