Sit-up Stand-up
Sometimes when Steve wants an ego boost, he makes the bootcampers bow to him over and over. Bootcampers get off easy: the Core class folks have to bring him sacrificial offerings.
Ahem. Okay, Piera and Sunny are actually modeling a little move we call “Sit-up Stand-up” (and you have to sing that Bob Marley song while you do it. Yes, I know Bob Marley sang “Get up, Stand up” and it’s not really about exercise, but just go with me on this, people.) Start on your back in your best sit-up “ready” position, then whip out that sit-up so fast you actually come up onto your feet in a standing position with your arms stretched overhead. Pause for only the teensiest second to admire your perfect balance, then bend those knees and drop down backwards until you are back where you started from. Repeat the whole thing, and be sure to enjoy the head rush.
Hey guys, I couldn’t find a goat for tonight and well, I kinda like goats and most other animals. So, I carved a goat out of tofu. Not sure if that will appease Steve or not. I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that iwe might suffer Steve’s displeasure tonight. Maybe next time a meat-eater should be given the job of bringing the sacrifice?
“little twig and berries” hahahahahahaha!
Perhaps you could do a tofu Turducken (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turducken)? That should appease the mighty Khuong…
Okay, I eat meat and that picture of a turducken just made me queesy. Shari be forewarned… don’t worry, I’ll make Kelley H. do extra burpees tonight instead of technical training.
Ouch! I never thought I would “hope” to get stuck in traffic…
Why does “little twigs and berries” make me blush? Could I be couped up with a sick kid too long?
Turducken actually looks appetizing… okay… I’ll stop.
All the little twig and berries does for me is make me ponder whether or not to circumcise my son.
ah the age old question, remind me to tell you a story about that maya…
It kills me that we can have simultaneous discussions about sacrificial offerings, turduckens, and twigs and berries. Only on the IC blog…
Turduckens always make me think: “three times the likelihood of salmonella†and after Maya’s last post on Fitnessfixation, the twig and berries make me think: “three times the likelihood of E. coliâ€.
Sacrificial offerings, however helped me increase my pull-ups last week so I have nothing bad to say about that.
Maya, that was a decision I agonized over – so relieved when it turned out to be a she.
I almost ended up with a housemate who believed in foreskin reconstruction and was part of the anticircumcision movement. In any case… I think a proper offering for the Messrs. Khuong and Garcia would be… hmm… the promise of a long nap, a good massage, and some cake.
Jenn, Juliet and Shari,
A young man very dear to me had his taken off when he turned 19 last year. I think I’m going to consult with him this weekend. It is such a hard decision because another cousin of mine was circumcised last week and he got really sick afterwards. Not fun, in fact pretty damn scary considering that he was only 2 weeks old.
But I wonder whether waiting until you’re 19 yrs. old is any fun either.
Maya,
I have a store to share with you.
hey now, put away your turduckens. that’s not an exercise. that’s a picture of me begging for coffee. or diet coke. okay, maybe both -P
P,
You can have turduckens, but not diet coke. That was the deal.
