More Ways to Know You GPP
by Russ Lindberg

- You've used a whole tube of super glue reattaching pieces of skin to your hands.
- Your family knows not to touch your legs the 2nd day after Thrust-o-rama.
- When you walk down the stairs the 2nd day after TOR, it is similar to falling down the stairs.

-You've done Turkish Getups in a hotel gym.
-You've demo'd a Turkish Getup to your coworkers.
-Your 11 year-old son "thinks the workout will be Prisoner Burpees". You debate this for several minutes.

Anything to add? Please post to comments.
After further consideration (and more than a little prodding) we have decided to run 1 workout on Memorial Day. We will be open at 8am for 1 single workout (HTD Pinochle Edition). Hope to see you there. Otherwise, please have a safe and happy holiday.
