Happy Burpee

May 28, 2025 BackBlasts

AO: asylum-am

51 SSH, one for every year since Ray Stevens’ The Streak was the #1 song in the land. Look how far we’ve fallen as a culture.

Today was a day for reflection, for the frank acknowledgment of aging, and for tripping over hidden rocks in a wet parking lot. Kentucky I am sincerely sorry about the rock and I hope you are not too badly hurt. I do hear good things about the NHS though, should you need them.

10 Happy Burpees per guy while the partner counted out loud. The counting part sounds dumb until you do your ten and realize you sincerely cannot move your arms after 10 of these things. The counting was my birthday gift to us all.

We got up to some shennanigans in between the burpee torture sessions, and finished with a couple of trips up baby everest. All in all, and alongside the great Matlock (Bill Maddox), I am #rekt.
