Who needs to pay for comedy when you have Gump and MajorPain

All All MECA Backblasts

April 19th, 2016 By Colonel Mustard

28 men posted in the gloom and then there was Gump with his little twinkle light mounted to his head.

The #disclamier was provided along with a warning that we would waste the first 10 minutes of Gump’s Q on Thursday if April through July is not filled up on Sign Up Genies with Q’s for bootcamp workouts. I will also add that for every spot that is vacant we will perform 20 burpees because I know everyone loves to do those. Alright enough of that, here is what occurred..

MoleSkin:
– The cars didn’t stop coming this morning, 28 strong with some of our Brothers from Tradition joining us. There seems to be a migration from that area to Highlands. MajorPain has started something…
– Sign Up to Q Men, as you know know these workouts are free and led by men like you. Variety in Q’s is what makes F3 different because having the same Q’s over and over again gets us know where and does not help us further our mission to develop leaders. #holdingyoumenaccountable
– Well Gump decided to grace us with his presence this morning and has somehow incorporated himself in my daily twitter feed begging me for a BB so here is it Gump, take it or leave.

    Thanks for the bb @colmustard, I was just holding you accountable to a statement made last week about NEVER missing a backblast.

    GR8 to see @Avalance again, I was thinking you quit!

    Thanks for the partner carry @Alcatraz, sorry to say I will not reciprocate in this lifetime

    Welcome @Castro sorry for the association to your brother from the same mother

    Thanks @colmustard for the beatdown today. Strong! Great numbers. Always awesome to see our brothers from the Tradition.

    Appreciate the encouragement to sign up to Q. I’ve taken a few as suggested. In doing so I noticed
    there are a few missing dates (5-3 and 5-12) on Signup Genius.

    Thanks for the workout! I was feeling it today.

    Great crowd and was a good experience for FNG Jerry who was visiting from up north, but will be moving back to CLT in a few months. He will probably end up at the Metro AOs, but this gave him a taste and hopefully will keep posting after he settles in.

    Looked like Skywalker had the same Q scarcity problem this morning. Though I think @Glock solved it.

    A few thoughts…
    1. For the signups, just a thought… for those of us that have never Q’d/lead, do some of you veterans have some ‘canned’ workouts that can be utilized as a Weinke that can be saved off and picked up by the virgin Qs (or those that are not as creative) to use verbatim or as a basis/inspiration? We could use the backblasts for reference, but would be good if a few that were tough but not too bad.

    2. In addition, some suggestions / guidelines for the backblast that should be posted afterwards to help keep the creative. I have noticed several recently that were just the people that posted to the workout, which is a definite bummer to see.

    3. Also, just an idea, is it possible to put the signup link automatically at the bottom of the backblast for each AO instead of just in the daily newsletter. It would give easier access to someone deciding to Q based on a sudden moment of inspiration! 🙂

    I would be more than happy to share all the Q documents I have with you and help you plan out some beatdowns. I’ll shoot you an email.

    In regards to #2, there is currently a glitch in the BB posting process that prevents anything you type in the body from appearing. There is a work around that we’re trying to spread the word about. You have to click over from “Visual” tab to “Text” tab (hence the Skywalker BB name today, although Prostate Exam Crunches would have been much better). That’s why you’re seeing so many blank BBs lately.

    @Grinder, got the email… thanks (went ahead and sent it to @DrSeuss for inspiration. Thanks for the update on #2… hopefully those in charge of the site will see #3 and toy around with an idea to automatically add the link (unless there is security concern about someone randomly signing up all slots or other mischievous things). It would make things easier for the less frequent Qs to re-Q.

    1. Grinder April 20, 2016 at 5:10 pm

      One problem there is that not all AOs use SUG. Probably wouldn’t be practical for AP to have to make an automatic link that would need to be customized to 100s of AOs. Including that link falls in the lap of the Q where he sees fit.

      1. McFeely April 20, 2016 at 5:19 pm

        Ah ok… So the Q throwing it in when necessary works.
