Mumblechatter, DORA, and Ultimate

Date: 2026-05-16
AO: The Sandlot
Q: citrus ,
PAX: Rim Fire, Tariff, Roadhouse, Dora, Lazlo, Forceps, Pepco, Napalm (Brandon Frazee), Defiance, citrus, Trademark, Shake ‘n’ Bake, Cager FNGs: None
COUNT: 13
WARMUP: SSH, Arm circles, IW, hillbillies, WMH, Cherry twists, down dog, cobra kai

THE THANG: The PAX divided into two groups for some musical Dora. One group on the field, while the other group performed an exercise. Flapjack and repeat until the song ended, which brought on a new exercise. – Squats
– Lunges
– WWI
– Mountain man poopers
– LBCs

The teams transitioned to a world class game of Ultimate Exercise Ball. All the rules of ultimate frisbee (burpee when the ball hits the deck and round of Mary exercises after each score), but without any of the requisite skill. Although team black-shirts started out strong (possibly due to an ineligible player), team rainbow-shirts pulled out the win on a golden goal. But really everyone won – except Shake ‘n’ Bake and Trademark, who bled their own blood.

MARY: See above.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Murph, Boneathon, Convergence events (see channels) // Thursday night AO Night Owl (see channel) // May 28 HIM Society Event (show up and learn more)

COT: My son landed in Beijing by way of Doha this morning, en route to a trip before his senior year of college. Although I was very nervous about him being within a few hundred miles of Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, I am incredibly proud of the person he has become, who is not only comfortable with but excited by a challenge like this. Our job as parents is to prepare our kids to go out the world on their own – it’s a proud moment when you get to see them take the world on.
