Credit where credit is due…Bambi started us down this path toward a more inclusive and vibrant Democracy, with crowd-sourced music selections for his Q at Poison Ivey. It was awesome! Inspired by that, I bring you a bold new experiment in Democracy, F3 style.

Of course Democracy can be a bit messy…

…but it still seems like the best option. First amendment Mumblechatter is but a small price to pay.

So the polls were opened. It was a contested campaign, with dramatic accusations, leaked emails, gotcha recordings, muckraking, protests, gerrymandering, possible polling irregularities, and hanging chads in key swing states. After all of that, the Russian hackers may or may not have leaked key voting data on the eve of the beatdown, which revealed the overall results of the election…

The lopsided defeat of “mud run” led some in the FAKE NEWS media to speculate whether YHC would honor the will of the voters.  

As a staunch defender of Democracy, on this day the will of the voters would be honored, with an epic partner/music based workout.

WAR – @BB Court

YHC honored a write-in vote for the “Basketball court. No mosey required.” for the WAR location.  Done.

The WAR exercise voting delivered a clear and convincing win for Imperial Walkers/Hillbillies…

Naturally the WAR went like this…

• Imp Walk x10IC (Gilmore was already demanding a recount of election results)
• Hillbillies x10IC
• Abe V x10IC
• Sungods x10IC fwd x10IC rev
• Frankensteins x10IC (Lucky Charms did his signature roam)
• ?SSH? …Nope… Held an Iowa-style caucus and straw poll and ended WAR with no SSH

The subsequent mosey took on the look and sound of protesters outside a political convention

The Thang

The partner/music based workout needed two types of input from voters: 1) exercises and 2) music.

The exercise voting showed merkins/derkins/irkins to be a clear favorite, closely followed by dips, lunges/squats/Lt. Dans, sprinting, and monkey humpers. No chance of inchworms, bear crawls, or crab walks today…

The music voting delivered 5 top choices and 5 also-rans…
