Strip Malls & Cornfields

All East Charlotte Backblasts

July 10th, 2017 By RibShack

So, knowing that I had to lead sometime in July, as is monthly custom, YHC was surprised to see no on had signed up to lead today. Upon getting the pleading & begging Tweet from Master Q Chum (done so he wouldn’t have to lead & could go be a Nomad elsewhere), it provided the impetus to look at the SUG again. Nope, still vacant. Being the considerate person I am, an hour or two expired as I waited for someone else to step up. Nope, not gonna happen on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Enough of that, here we are, signed up & it’s GO TIME!!

On way in, I saw several deer & what appeared to be skunk road kill. Or at least it smelled that way. Ah, beautiful 70 degree morning though.

Recon- watch the cars roll in. Awesome showing today, good job men!

    Amazing Honor to Lead today guys, thank you.

    Good to meet WaterWings from Cary/Apex- you are a rabbit my friend, check out The Valley (MECA) to post at Wednesday. That’s where all the rabbits live.

    Thanks to Pongo & Buckwheat driving down. Good to see you guys.

    Thanks for Chum for leading from behind today.

    Thanks to Othello for always setting the bar high. I may catch you sleeping one day.

    Awesome Q this AM RibShack! That must make a repeat appearance.

    New favorite disclaimer, “Don’t be a dick.”

    No sure that part would stand up in court, but pretty much sums it all up.

    1. RibShack July 10, 2017 at 3:47 pm

      Thanks man, sounds good! I think what I really said was……”…..you are own your own, don’t be stupid, don’t be a dick!”…….#context 🙂

      1. Tough Skins July 10, 2017 at 3:50 pm

        My version is better (and technically still accurate).

        1. RibShack July 10, 2017 at 4:38 pm

          Touche’

  3. Chum July 10, 2017 at 8:29 am

    Yes, best disclaimer ever, “Dont be a dick”. After that it was just rabbit’s running west.

    Great lead!

    1. RibShack July 10, 2017 at 3:48 pm

      Thanks MQ! Just trying to stay ahead of all you rabbits today. A ruck didn’t even slow you down.

  4. Buckwheat July 10, 2017 at 11:34 am

    Aye, thanks for the invite @Rib Shack. Solid beatdown as usual, bro! By far the best disclaimer I’ve heard. “Don’t be a dick.” LMAO.

    People undressing in front of strip malls and then we go straight to a cornfield? #MintHillProblems.

    @Othello, you’re a beast man.

    @Rib Shack- You were shot out of a cannon today, brother. Q-drenaline?

    @The Body & @Chum- TClaps men for doing this with a ruck. @The Body was killing that Indian Run for sure!

    Glad you found us @Bullwinkle. #AngryQ only made us run a mile before you met us, so you didn’t miss much.

    1. RibShack July 10, 2017 at 3:50 pm

      Dick? See above for commentary.

      You never know what The Body will do next. But we’ll claim him, proudly! He’s a beast!!

      Just trying to stay ahead of all the rabbits. Didn’t quite accomplish that but I tried.

      thanks again for driving down

    Two Quick Announcements:

    1) Skywalker AO’s 2-year anniversary beatdown is this Friday for anyone interested in traveling.

    2) Our first Summer 2017 MeCa-wide F3 Dads beatdown will take place at Comanche Sat. 07/29/17 @ 0800. Mark your calendars and get your 2.0’s ready for some fun!

  6. Othello July 10, 2017 at 4:24 pm

    Awesome Q @RibShack, you know how to mix it up and bring it. Honestly, after I heard your “disclaimer” I was a little shocked, thinking, “you kiss your wife with that mouth?!” Then I realized, I’ve said worse…much worse, no worries here…don’t be a Dick, lets roll!

    Glad to see @Buckwheat and @Pongo – strong posting today and thanks again for having me for the RED Friday’s in June. Catch you at one in Concord in a week or two. Looking forward to borrowing some HERO WOD’s from you guys for September. Aye!

    Thanks for posting @waterwings – you will like The Valley!

    Mint Hill Pax – Strong post today, AYE! I think we all may soon be a full RUCK AO. There are only a few of us who “don’t” ruck, we are getting out numbered, might need to inquire about a purchase.

    1. RibShack July 10, 2017 at 4:38 pm

      I’ll work on being more PC next time.

  7. Tough Skins July 10, 2017 at 4:41 pm

    I don’t think we’ve gotten this much commenting on a BB in the last year… combined!

    1. RibShack July 10, 2017 at 4:50 pm

      You have no idea. Invite Buckwheat & it’s almost assuredly a chatterbox fest! We Bacon may be slow but we can talk, just not DURING the post!
