8 PAX including YHC + 1 Splinter: Nancy, Dont Cha Know, Ozone, Golden Corral, Gangrene, Snakes on a Plane, Hakuna Matata, Sacked – QIC, Pacer – Splinter

On a crisp beautiful morning in downtown Greensboro 8 men decided to take their DRP at ARISE. With all assembled and ready to go at 5:30 a.m. we dispensed with the welcome and circled up for the Warma in the Grace United Methodist Church parking lot.

WARM-A-RAMA

  • Self Hugs
  • Sun Gods x 10 ea direction
  • Imperial Walkers x 15ic
  • Hillbillies x 15ic
  • String Rippers x 15ic

PAX lined up in single file for a Reverse Merkin Indian run from the Church to the new Parking Deck. The way this works is the person in the front steps to the side of the line and begins doing Merkins. The rest of the line is moseying forward up the side walk on the way to the Parking Deck. When the end of the line reaches the guy doing the Merkins he jumps back in the end of the line and yells “Next” at which time the guy in the front of the line drops to the side and starts doing Merkins. We did this all the way to the Parking Lot using the sidewalks on West Friendly and Eugene St. This group of studs nailed it from the start.

THANG
