Good enough for me unless @DuranDuran is on the mafia payroll through some insurance scheme.

@JayKay PE I vote for @beccabun PE

Seems unlikely considering @DuranDuran was saved by the good doctor (unless it was pure coincidence - doubtful)

@JayKay PE I vote for @beccabun PE because it seems highly unlikely that @DuranDuran is on the maf payroll.... that call-out is highly sus....
 
Okay, so I was traveling for work presentations since Tuesday and didn't realize the game started. Thank you everyone for not voting for me. I am a normal townie this time- scout's honor.

I also forgot to vote because was dealing with urgent care after getting bitten by KittyMoo.

My son fell and bit through his lip yesterday morning so he got to spend some time in the ER getting stitched back up. Kids are tough. I would have done a lot more crying that he did.

The next round of forced fitness that the company was putting everyone through, totally not to kill them, was weights. The super perky and happy spinning instructor was replaced by a surly looking @vhab49_PE, hair tied in a top knot and hands heavily chalked.

“We’re squatting today,” they said, crossing their arms so their, frankly impressive, biceps could bulge threatening.

Terrified of even asking what type of squat, everyone scrambled to grab barbells and plates. After the dust had cleared, and it had been realized there weren’t enough racks, people started pairing up so they could spot each other. One employee was left by themselves, due to the odd number, but @beccabun PE seemed like they knew what they were doing, so @vhab49_PE turned to the others to make sure they were listening.

“We’re going to do back squats. You know how to do that?” A few heads nodded and a few others grimaced. “You’re going to have be bar across your shoulders and then you’re going to tighten all your trunk musculature as you squat. Then you’re going to explode upwards, using all your tension.” @vhab49_PE did a quick demonstration, with no weights on the bar, and the skeptics were turned: this looked easy.

A few sets later, and a few more pounds, and everyone was huffing and puffing as they dropped into the squats and came back up again. In fact, except for @tj_PE and @beccabun PE, who were both squatting a ridiculous amount, most people were taking much longer than the required 1:30sec for each set. Suspicious, @vhab49_PE came to check on their star pupils.

@tj_PE was sparkling with sweat, hair plastered in a fairly becoming manner to their brow. The bar bent slightly on the ends up the incredible weight they had on, but their squats were deep and going fully parallel. There was a little bit of shaking as they rose, but they were able to re-rack with a huge huff of breath.

@beccabun PE on the other hand...

“These weights aren’t even real! They’re made-they’re made-“ @vhab49_PE was incredulous, “they’re made of doughnuts!!!!”

A sneer graced @beccabun PE’s face as they stepped away from their rig, lifting up a spray bottle to mist their face so it appeared they were . “So what of it? They’re still heavy!”

“You are not going to try and convince me that a large doughnut is the same weight as a 25 kilo plate.”

“It might be.”

“Surely not!”

As @vhab49_PE continued arguing with @beccabun PE and having them escorted off the fitness facility campus, nobody was paying attention to those who were still working out. @Dothracki PE, trying to emulate @tj_PE, had been bolstered by their spotter to throw on more than they could handle while no one was looking. The spotter grinned as they added another 25 kilo plate on each side. @Dothracki PE bent slightly to get under the bar and stepped slowly away. Taking a deep breath to tighten their trunk, they squatted-

The weight was too heavy as they bottomed-out, thigh muscles screaming as they snapped and, instead of failing the correct way, @Dothracki PE fell forward, the 300+ pounds of weight slamming on their neck vertebrae. The sudden snap echoed as loudly as the dropped weights of the nearby Olympic lifters. As it was so quick, @Dothracki PE felt no pain. Just a sudden numbness before darkness.

The remaining players are:

@MadamPirate PE, @EyehatethePEexam, @ChebyshevII PE, @RBHeadge PE, @txjennah PE, @DuranDuran, and @BlueBlueprint_PE

@beccabun PE was lynched by being forcibly manhandled by @vhab49_PE off the premises. They were an evil health care plan representative who was trying to raise premiums!!!

Final Vote

x5 @beccabun PE (duran, doth, cheby, blue, RBH)

@Dothracki PE was killed by the evil health plan representative by too many weights. Premiums have been raised an extra $53.72 per pay period.

oof... My son put his teeth through his lip when he was about 9(ish). He fell off (over the top) of his bike and face planted downhill on the asphalt. He had to have a few stitches in his lip, chipped a front tooth - we had to have that repaired and watched that tooth like a hawk to make sure it wasn't traumatized - and def had road rash on his face for a bit. Poor guy, thank god he was wearing a helmet. It would've been a VERY different story.

Maybe I'll choose "arm day" again today... oof that's brutal. I'll leave leg day to next week. And use the "supported" weight bar that won't let me fall over!

Apparently yesterday was a bad day.
