BurpJack Horseman – from America’s Best
YHC had a Jones. A Basketball Jones.
But today, I would not need someone to set a pick for me at the free-throw line of life, nor someone I can pass to. No, I would not even need someone to hit the open man on the give-and-go (and not end up in the popcorn machine).
Because today we would not really play basketball…
Bur first… let’s go look at the new giant flagpole. And then race back. First 3 back get the first three guesses at song lyrics. Goose, Pope and Honeysuckle won Gold, Silver, and Bronze, and thus would get to try and identify a song by the lyrics. If Goose identified it on the first stanza, we would just take a lap around the CC, if Pope guessed after hearing the 2nd stanza, we would hold Al Gore and Jump Squat on each song title; if Honeysuckle got it after hearing the final stanza, we would hold plank and merkin each song title. However, since nobody identified it, we ran in place and did a Burpee every time we heard “Mmm-Bop.” And sometimes when we heard “doo-wop” or “shebop” or whatever.Then on past the playground to the highest court in the land. . .
It occurred to YHC that as many times as the PAX graced the Den’s basketball arena, we had yet to play HORSE. It didn’t occur to YHC until mid-beatdown that we likely only had the time (and skill) to play PIG.
And the rules would be: SSH while waiting for your shot. Add one burpee on a miss (upon review of my original rules, this was to be 5 merkins). After Pope filled-up (is that the opposite of “drained”?) several 3’s, it was augmented to 3-burpees if you missed a 3-pointer. Then sprint to opposite baseline and back after your shot.
Once you were out, you stood on the sideline and did a burpee with each shot taken by anyone.
And the action ensued! … evoking zero inspiration and even less respect.
But we finished our pig.
And like a porcine character from our childhood, it was some PIG.
“Some” being vague enough that you can take it to mean “glorious” if you are optimistic, or “interesting” if you are realistic. At least It was dark.
There were just about 10 minutes left, so YHC called an audio-daily-double audible. The only music trivia that was in my brain at the time is something I heard long ago… that a certain song was originally “You died in Vietnam” (the actual story is much longer and convoluted… see me later for a dissertation).
Same format as the first thang, but instead of a sprint, first 3 of the PAX to hit a free-throw would guess. Getting 3/8 to hit a free-throw should be easy…
Several minutes later we had our men. Honeysuckle, Paradox, and Popeye. None guessed correctly (although Dox’s guess of Fortunate Son wins the best educated guess), so we ran back to the flag, stopping for burpees for every “Born in the USA.”
Back in just enough time for 1 minute of Mary, the honors were given to Goose with the disclaimer “NO DR W’s.” One minute of wife pleasers seemed just about right.

The Louisiana PureChest vol. 2: All Dem Teeth and No Teethbrush – from Paradox
Late in the pre-Tuesday Tuff evening, YHC sat amongst the leather bound books and rich mahogany (half drank capri suns and diapers) of his study (kids desk) putting the finishing touches on tommorows beatdown. Expecting an intimate crowd with the fall break absences YHC had planned for 45 minutes of SSH while pax watched “Where the Red Fern Grows” on an old substitute teachers roll cart vhs/tv. Standard issue style where the first man to cry would start continuous burpees …buttt not so fast my friends. A timely slack notification alerted YHC that we had a down ranger from St Louis!
The situation called for more, maybe even a 45 minute crash course in all things Louisiana to show our guest a good time. YhC had already been itching to green light the sequel to 2022s Louisiana PureChest.
( See volume 1 below)The Louisiana PureChest: Life, Liberty, and the Trivial Pursuit of Alligator Merkins – from Paradox
So there was only one thing left to do …
YHC headed for the garage fridge, brushed aside the gentle Lacroix’s, skooched away the chilled Canebrakes and Envies …placed a 7 digit launch code and completed the retinal scanner to unleash the foulest fruited kettle sour ever produced…
“ Greetings from Grand Isle “I took a sip and this is what followed…
Duke !!
Grab the bean footage and let the good times roll!9 men cut through some of the thickest fog YHC has ever encountered for a Tuesday Tuff with most of the regulars plus a wild Superfund and St Louis down ranger, Lube, who assured us multiple times that he was a dealer of oilfield pipe and pipe accessories and there was no great story involved in his name and he gets no royalties from KY and their jelly.
After warmups and a short mosey YHC unveiled today’s theme and objectives :
1.) Double the size of your chest until the locals call you Gregory Pecs behind your back.
2.) Sharpen the iron of LA related knowledge so you can throw your kids books in the trash and tell them you were raised in the streetz.
We begin like most great historical pieces , with a sonnet.
The Poetry of Choppa styles “Louisiana”
Rocky balboas on the song
Double Merkin burpee on all LouisianasThis Preheated the pax collective chest to 375 and Lube was all but ready to take the next flight back to Nelly if the music didn’t improve. The pax assured him it would not.
We set out into the gloom with HR merkin Indian run drop off and YHC was legit scared we would lose men in dat fog.
Thang 2
Back to the Future 49 Corridor
Format :
7 cawns with 7 reps at each.
The cones were set in 3 groups of 2 (the first one is free) that would serve as our Gator pits.
The only way to freedom is a thorough knowledge of Louisiana lagniappe.Correct 7 x 7 reps with mosey
Incorrect Alligator Merkins Traps times the number wrong.
YHC was bordering Maui levels of complexity but was confident the pax could pick up this island quickly so we dove in.
Exercise: Wide Merkins
1. Other state that does not use counties . 1. Alaska 2. Burroughs 3. name one (there are 21)
Burroughs were missed and the pax got to taste the pit early.
Exercise : Bobbie Hurleys
2.) Name atleast 5 beers from parish brewing company?
AB did AB things, waiting on the difficulty of the question to increase and when it didn’t he let the Pax hold his proverbial beer.
YHC is confident that if left alone he would still be standing there naming Parish beers.No Gators this round. Just a 10 minute history of Canebrake from AB while Lube commented to Goose “oh you have one of those guys”
Exercise: Diamond Merkins
3.) James Bond movie set in La- “Live and let die”
Who played bond? – Roger Moore
Name of the villain? Mr Big (Dr Kananga)One dose of gators this round and the pax directed anger toward Roger Moores butt chin making unrealistic standards for young men.
Exercise : Leg Raises
(Hidden Music Daily Double)4.) Finish this line in the classic “Louisiana Saturday Night” : Waiting in the front yard sitting on a log… Single shot rifle , one eyed dog … what artist (Mel McDaniel) …. Play the song for last verse.
Now it was HoneySuckles turn to put the team on his back as we added yet another layer to his superhero origin story. During his time at Clemson creating government funded hurricane nukes he held tightly to this Mel McDaniel tune to fend off the evils of the Carolinas.
Not all apiarist wear capes.We skipped past the gator traps and did leg raises while White Meat defended the honor of the slain possum as the unsung hero of the bayou. YHC quickly translated this relationship advice to young Pope: find you a gal that looks at you the way white meat looks at a possum eating 3k mosquitoes a night.
**this next round was skipped but you can follow along at home. Tank me later***
Apollo Onos (2 is one)5.) North La parish named after the first explorer documented to have crossed the Mississippi River. (Desoto) – large body of water in that parish (Toledo bend) —- parish seat -city ? (Mansfield)
Finisher :
Carolina Dry docks
6.) 1989 movie filmed in Natchitoches — name two actresses —- Can you name the fictional parish in Steel Magnolia?
The pax got the movie Steel Magnolia and actresses (with and without flotation devices) but struggled to produce the fictional Chinquapin parish leading to one last round of dem Medulla OblanGators.
We packed up to round off our chiseled chesticles with HR merkin Indian run home and a plank out till time .
By the power invested in me by the LA board of internet doctors I certified all the PAX 100% Chest in Show.

Postscript:
Merkin History Repeats Itself
Like any great real estate deal in history the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 was not with out its controversy. Political climates, egos, military advantages, all played a part in this mega deal.
In a similar fashion the Louisiana PureChest of 2024 was not always a smooth affair.
Let’s take a look:
*This Historical reenactment protects the names and identities of the real men involved*
YHC: It’s a LA history beatdown and we are going to double the size of our chest.Thomas R. Chesterton: What if my chest gets bigger than my legs? Does this disqualify you from ladies 5ks? Asking for a friend.
Americas Chest: Alligator Mississippiensis doesn’t actually do merkins during its locomotion, this would offset the kinematic sequence of its erect posture.
Cricket: chirps*
Holden MoreChest Thanmost: : I have concerns there wont be enough merkins.
Bruce Swells: Could we just pull a beatdown from greenwood? How much is a wellness center membership?
Pec Major Dawson: Soreness is the cry of weakness being vanquished. Bring on the chest expansion.
Pec Minor Dawson: What is soreness?
White meat breast and two thighs: The opossum is the backbone of this ecosystem. Prove me wrong or fight me.
Lube Richman: Do you guys ever just do 45 minutes of exercise and go home?
Historians say this went on for a fortnight until eventually Quecracy prevailed.They decided to suffer together.
Their chest and their souls were all better for it.

Burpee, a History Volume 2: To Burpfinity and Beyond – from Paradox
YHC has always loved a good origin story.
Forged in radioactive slime or some gamma rays gone wrong? Sign me up. But there’s also a lot of really interesting beauty to be discovered in the story behind the routine and mundane we take for granted. Microwaves , penicillin, Velcro, HoneySuckles 2003 Garmin watch.
All have unique backgrounds and lessons to learn. So YHC wanted to reach back into the F3 history lessons and attempt to give the pax some appreciation for our old friend …the burpee.3 objectives today for 8 pax at the Lions Dirt Patch.
Objective 1:
A safety PSA for the burpee.One of YHCs annual duties as assistant to the regional manager of beatdown safety is a yearly PSA on burpee form. Especially pertinent during IPC.
See works cited volume 1:
Okay, for the Yankee Jeauxs out there just sit back down and sip your Ensure …I know you smell the hypocrisy here that the leader in poor form can’t lead a beatdown about proper form but hey F3 is all about improvement ok.
Objective 2.)
Honor Mr Burpee and share his story.Objective 3.)
Explore the millions of burpee variations and honor other accidental inventions and origin mishaps along the way .
We want to be safe but we also want to push the boundaries of our physical limits so that maybe one day our children can say “oh the kraken burpee, my dad used to do those while his friends talked about omelette PTSD”Duke !
Get the footage and Crank the fan servicing.
It’s a franchise remake !Warmup
Started with the Valve Challenge : SSH until he shows up. Today we made it till about 45. Must have been a slow call night. Plan was to go till 100 or till Lil cuz asked for Goose to distract us with LOTR voices,Indian Run w Dropoff for 3 Bobby Hurley with a nod to National pirate day and well I really don’t need an excuse to blare sea shanties.(one of the few musical masterpieces Goose and YHC agree on)
AB took this time to invent the portmanteau “pirish” and spent the remaining beatdown trying to make it happen and securing ground floor investors.Thang 1
First , the safety.Royal Huddleston Burpee was born in 1897 in NY. He joined the Navy during the beginning of World War 1 and while aboard a navy ship for several months developed a knack for creating challenging body weight exercises one could accomplish in small spaces.
He loved efficiency , good form and pushing his body to its limits.To fully commemorate Royals Naval service we enjoyed
“Drunken Sailor”
With plank and merks on “Way Up “and “drunken sailor”We were left with a warm feeling in our chest and many non OSHA approved options on how to handle a drunken sailor.
After his service Mr Burpee became Dr Burpee by attaining his PhD in exercise physiology at Columbia University. His particular field of focus was utilizing simple body movements in a sequence to help the military improve its physical fitness screening.
So we deconstructed his original fitness test in 7s to help bring home the safe execution of the standard burp.
7 hand to ground Squats
14 Groiners
21 Merk
28 squat jumpsWith the safety and the history covered we segued into the future of the burpee and its millions of variations with “Peaches” by the Goosey Burpapalooza headliners : Presidents of the US of A.
*YHC took this intermission to unveil Blue Tube 2.0, the newly modified wearable to make that special conversation with your M a little less awkward.
Final Thang
So despite beginning as a simple fitness test, the burpee was now a universally known, highly efficient, highly effective way to improve your cardio and with that super stardom came many variations.
We would scratch the surface of a few F3 favorites while honoring other non intentional invention’s.Burp Trivia
Correct 4 Reps
Incorrect 8 reps1.) double merkins burpee
1930 – Ruth Wakefield ran out of bakers chocalate and needed to use Nestle chips for her guests in her Inn, thereby inventing chocolate chip cookies .
What was the name of the inn?
(Tollhouse)Bearpee
2.) late 19th century two brothers preparing food for a health spa accidentally left dough out , after its fermentation they sent it through rollers creating large crispy flakes .
What are the brothers last name?
(Kellog)Double Jump Burpee
3.) 1943 attending to create a rubber substitute, General Electric engineer James Wright dropped boric acid into silicone oil. What did he create?
(Silly putty)BroPees
4.) 3M scientist Art Fry
, frustrated by loose papers in his hymnals at choir practice met white other chemist ti produce what product.(Post it notes)
Kraken Burpee
5.) created to fill a need for cleaning soot from wallpaper this colored combination of salt, flour and water became what?
(Play Doh)Notes:
– Switching it up mid burpees and calling Honeysuckle “honey” felt like being in elementary school when you called the teacher “mom” on accident and had to talk to your parents about witness protection.
– YHC thought these were atleast mildly difficult trivia and the pax gobbled them up like Kobyashi at the Nathan’s. Studs.
– Several questions were answered almost in unison with Goose and White Meat sprinkling in early confidence. AB waiting in the bullpen like Rivera in the 9th but we never even had to call for the sandman to enter. Oh well , not everyone appreciates Nirvana.A few min left at the flag and as always any Burpee history lesson ends with a good tub thumping with Ole Danny Boy !!! We got knocked down , got back up and all were better for it.
Honeysuckle bequeathed TFW to White Meat for his consistent meatiness this week.
YHC awarded Blue Tube to Lil Cuz for his timely cardiovascular queries.
