Thursday Throwdown

I fucking hate off-the-couch climbers. You know the type. They are the ones that 12-18 months ago, you were solid training partners. Nothing could break the shackles of bond between the crew. That is, until one decides to get married, or have a baby, or get bogged down in the daily grind of "workin' for da man". All of a sudden, your group of regular dudes dwindles down to a few strong willed, dedicated soldiers. Now, I'm not saying that these are particularly BAD this to occur in ones life. Personally though, the thought of marriage and children seems like a bit of an over-commitment. One not easily backpedaled from. BUT that's just my opinion for my circumstances.....

Back to the rant. So come present day. Over the last 18 months, you have been living the monks life, abstaining from all evil, training your guts out, feeling stronger then ever. Then low and behold, said over-committers stroll back into the ring.

"Not a problem" you say to yourself. "I've been training and feel great. Time to show these chumps how we's roll now!"

But wait a minute.....whats this??

Did he just hike your project in the gym???? He's not trained properly for what.....? a year? WHAT THE FUCK!!

Low and behold, you've just been slapped by an off-the-coucher. They are easily identified by the following signs:

- They only come out into the public once a week

- Short and sharp appearances

- Always asking what you've been up to, because they haven't really seen you in 12 months

- Looks like this

















- But climbs like this




May have the following effects on you:

- Crying

- Anger

- Sulking/have a sook

- Total dedication to the art of wizardry.

YES! Through this adversity, we are driven to the edge of sanity, where we find pure enlightenment through the art of wizardry. Yes, these off-the-couchers may be stronger then you in the make believe relm of plastic, but when it comes to the rock, you know the bizzel. Kneebars, heel-toes, bicycles, sneaky thumb catches, all skills learnt through the dedicated practice of a rock wizard. And it is with these skills my followers, that a rock warrior is born, While the frustration in plastic land is evident, the mad skillz in the real world will prevail....
