Payment
Once deductions on the tax return were corrected, we finally made our payment. Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes with rocks until time (3-5 reps).
COT
Stole some of the Mayhem COT from Parliament on Wednesday, talking about where you are now is not your destination. If you are not happy, or in a bad place for whatever reason: job, relationship, internally, etc. Whatever the case may be, it is not too late to make changes for the better. Challenged the PAX to constantly evaluate whether or not they are truly thriving instead of just surviving. Thanks Mayhem, enjoyed that one so stole it a bit.
Moleskin
Lots of good MC, especially with a crowd of 5. Big thanks to Thin Mint for pointing out that Tax Day has been moved to May 17. Told the PAX it must feel great to have it done and paid by the “real” tax day today.
Lots of good names for a tax beatdown: H&R Rocks, H&R Blocks, TurboPAX, PAXact, and my personal favorite from the one and only WuzntMe: “Screw Jackson Hewitt/This workout I will not do it”. He held true to his promise and in fact…did not do it. 10 minutes in, M.I.A. did not find these jokes funny any longer.
Very thoughtful and drawn out discussions about the differences between Gorilla Humpers and Monkey Humpers. Clothespin was gracious enough to demonstrate proper form with sounds as well. Also, we gave Toe Merkins a second name “Twerkins” but then decided that should probably be used for Monkey Humpers instead. Verdict still not reached there.
