NakedMan Moleskin:

1.       FNG:  McGee:  posted at Big Hair this Monday for first F3 event and now doubles down with his first Gamucci.  Also, had the temerity to ask what “Gamucci” means.  TClaps Brother.

2.       WarDaddy:  RedLeg 6—51.  TClaps, Aye.

3.       WarBabby:  McGee—26.  Hate you.  Aye.

4.       Today’s Chuck:  If Chuck Norris wants to make an omelet, he can do it without having to break a few eggs.

5.       Sweepertee:  Debaser, by The Pixies. 

6.       Slicing Up Eyeballs:    No wedding rings were lost today, so Blind Hog’s (AKA Mizer) bewildering ability to pluck lost gold from the tall grass was not invoked. 

7.       Girly So Groovy:  Another rogue Pay-to-Play group of Tomatoes posted at the AG this AM.  Silence, need some help here Brother.  They’re getting kind of bold.  Oh Oh Oh.

8.       Today’s Goofy: 

Goofy and I were on a PT team.  We pushed it hard.  When we got an FNG, his first morning of PT could not have been fun.  Having watched one of these guys struggling (tossing chunks that is), I suggested to Goofy that maybe we ought to step it back a bit until the guy caught up. 

Goofy responded:  “that’s either a misguided notion of compassion, bad leadership or both.”

“How so?”  I asked.

“Well, your response to a guy who is having trouble reaching the bar is to lower it?  How does that help him?”

“I don’t mean permanently.   Just until he catches up.”  I explained.

“That’s the problem.  He’ll have nothing to catch up to if you lower the standard.  Plus, it’s much harder to raise the bar than it is to lower it.”

“So what do we do for this guy?”  I asked.

“Keep the standard high and encourage this guy to reach it.  That’s what a leader does.”
