14 Kings at Ring of Fire this morning.
- Battle Bot was the King of the Ring today. You may now bow to his magnificence.
- Band Camp came in a not so close 2nd, but he did manage to outsprint me at the end and cause me to perform a couple extra exercises at the end. And by exercises, I mean dry heaves.
- Anchorman prepared us all to be underwhelmed, but not by his mumblechatter.
- Barry Manilow had some hazy recollections of a Slayer concert with Slash (not present), but with as many Monster Energy Drinks as he has before a concert his blood pressure increases to a level he’s doing good to be standing much less remembering who attended what.
- And speaking of what Anchorman called “Cookie Monster” metal, Rumbling Bald had his signature tunes playing for the duration.
- Don’t know if you’ve noticed lately, but Goose keeps trimming down and is looking strong out there.
- Ruby Slippers represented the Pre-spect crowd well, and even gave me a butt pat, so… you know… I may not have been the King today, but I still feel like a winner.
- Splinter and Sugarbug were disappointed but unsurprised at the lack of leg exercises in this workout.
- HarryCarry was gracious enough to hold back and let a couple of us feel good about our performance.
- FTC is more of a 3 sets of 10 guy.
- Shaq was the WarBaby today and held his own with a bunch of guys that are old enough to be his dad…

This is my report. You could dress it up like Baby Yoda and take it trick or treating in July, but it still wouldn’t get more strange looks than you would if you dispute the truth imbued herein.*

COT: DON'T EVER DO MY BACKBLAST FOR ME AGAIN. EVER. You can harass me, ask me, persuade me, but you should NOT rescue a man from something he agreed to. Stats are not as important as leadership.
