Team Maggot

Now, you might have read the above title and thought it was the same as the previous, completely awesome, post that Courtney published a few days ago.  And, although Maggots do indeed rule, there are a few things everyone should know; the Maggots’ Rules

1.)  Maggots do not talk badly about themselves or other maggots.  Other people outside of the maggot colony are fair game, especially those seen at the Y using the machines incorrectly.

2.)  Maggots encourage one another not only in working out but also in life.  If one maggot is down, all maggots are down until such a time all maggots are happy again.  No maggots left behind.

3.)  In the unlikely event that one of the maggots loses him or herself in a bag of Cheetos, the rest of the maggot team will do everything in their power not to slap the weakling and make them do extra lunges as penance.  Ha!  Whatever!  We lay a guilt trip as thick as Texas so next time he or she would not dare to put one of those things in his or her mouth for fear of retribution.

4.)  Each Maggot must hold a special primordial power to help one another while working out simply by laying a single finger on the machine.  What once was so heavy that not one more repetition could be made, magically becomes as light as a feather.

5.)  The leader of Team Maggot, Jim (AKA Jeff), does his best to keep us on track and lifting the correct amount of weight.  He ensures that our mouths are not the only things getting a work out and has full authority to tell us to do more repetitions.  If we make him mad (by talking about his rather large noggin or his similarities to the Asian people for example) the amount of weight will increase.  Period.

6.)  Last but not least, when we are all hot and have rippling muscles we are going to so rub it in every one’s face.  And if one single person says something about being “lucky” about having these wonderful bodies we will line up and punch them in the face.  THIS IS HARD WORK PEOPLE!
