The work week has begun to return to normal. Lectures are
coming back to me. The timing of my very poor biology themed jokes is back and
my students eyes could not roll further back in their heads. I hope they stick
that way. “A mushroom walks into a bar….” is a great joke. A “fun-guy”? Come on
that’s hilarious. I have begun acting as envoy to all things extracurricular. I
got to watch Mr. Fabulous compete in a relay at gymnastics in the giant pit of
foam bricks.

| Basically the same as the pit at gymnastics |
Two teams of two boys each makes up the event. You must jump
in, swim through the foam, drag yourself up and out of the pit, turn and come
back, and finally do ten push ups. The next member of your team then does the
same. Mr. Fab-a-lus was the anchor leg for his team and hit the pit in
second/last place. He then tried to throw bricks at his competition and hold their
leg so as to level the playing field on the return trip through the pit. It
failed miserably. He then jumps out of the pit moments behind and begins his 10
push-ups. I honestly cannot do his form justice without visual aids but I will
try. Picture a boy in the push-up position sticking his booty as high in the
air as possible (or maybe it’s just that big. Boy has some junk in his trunk.)
He then with arms extended, checking to see if anyone is looking, begins to bob
his head up and down with his mouth slightly agape. Calling out the integers 1
to 10 as quickly as possible, he was doing his best chicken neck. Picture a chicken
on Adderol trying to eat off the ground as quickly as possible. He was the
exact same but his arms never bent so, he was just straining his neck and
bobbing his head feet from the ground. He still lost and it was hilarious to watch.

Afterwards, I locked the doors to the car and wouldn’t let
him in until he did 10 proper push-ups.
