#SmurfStache

It was National Sandwich Day at Subway yesterday.

Wimp and String decided to take advantage of the free sub and have a deep conversation about the #SmurfStache movement.

The Co-Q workout was born.

Matching outfits were discussed.

Pain was inevitable.

This #SmurfStache Beatdown would be one to remember.

String convinced Wimp to shave the 2 year old stubble beard on his face and skip the lip.

It’s called going all-in.

And that’s where it’s at.

Friday morning rolls around.

String rolls into the parking lot and plants a flag and heads to the field to scout out Windsprint Alley.

It’s dark out there.

String tries to count out 100 yards and loses track once or twice.

It might have been closer to 200 yards.

Cousin IT lets String borrow and extra flag and a CoopStrong shirt.

String asked IT for his wallet and car keys too, but was just joking.

5:30 hits, we are 26 strong and it is time to put some hair on our chests. And on our SmurfStaches!

MOLESKIN

Earlier this week, after Bible Study at the Smurf Hut, YHC starts joking with Papa, Chewy, and Pork Belly about growing out November mustaches. We ask Papa’s M what she thinks. She says- I could live with that for a month! YHC tells the group that he will think about a fun way to get the PAX involved. On the ride home, SmurfStache is the word that pops onto YHC’s spirit. After a quick Google image search, YHC finds an awesome shot of the cartoon Papa Smurf with just a mustache. YHC calls T-Bone, who what the Bible Study Co-Q and asks his opinion on launching a weasel shaking campaign called the #SmurfStache movement to raise awareness for ALS, F3, and FiA. It was a simple response. “Yes. I am in” It was on.

Wimp asked String to Co-Q and wanted to stoke the #SmurfStache fire. The #SmurfStache workout was going to be tough and gritty and one to remember. Co-Q’ing is a ton of fun. You get to plan with one of your F3 brothers and get to know them better in the process. For all of you newer guys that have not stepped up to Q. Now is the time! If you don’t want to Q on your own, pick a Co-Q and roll with it!

To close, YHC is feeling led to bring this up. If you have not been to a Papa Smurf Bible Study. Please try to make it happen.He is a very special man and brother. He is humble and gives all of the glory and honor to his Lord and Savior.

Papa- you know this but YHC wants to reiterate…

We love you brother and are locking shields as you do battle with ALS.

“it’s not the size of the #SmurfStache in the fight. It’s the size of the fight in the #SmurfStache”

Shave the face, Skip the lip, brothers, and join us!
