The Mother-in-Log is a 5 ft, 50 lb fence post 8 inches in diameter.
He who posts at 20 Beatdowns in a calendar month will earn a date with the Mother-in-Log
A “date with the Mother-in-Log” is 1 beatdown in which the achieving PAX must carry the mother-in-log with him through the entire workout, from Gloom to Flag Pic. He may set her down, but she must always be within arm’s reach. Upon finishing this BD, he will sign his name in black sharpie to the Mother-in-Log and receive a patch for his feat.
If you leave the Mother-in-Log at any point in the BD, she will not accept your signature, you will not receive a patch, and you will have to start over.
Rules:
It is custom that the PAX request the MiL’s hand on Slack at the beginning of the month in which he pursues her.
Ex: “Here in [current month], I request the Mother-in-Log’s hand as her faithful escort for a morning together in [next month].”
PAX should then reply on that post with the dates and locations of BDs attended to keep a public record.
Any regularly scheduled BD counts toward a PAX pursuit.
Black Ops can count as well, but must be attended by a total of 3 PAX.
BDs must be separated by either 10 hours or a PM-to-AM slumber.
On one’s date, the log takes the place of a coupon. If no coupons are used, then you still must carry the log.
GrowRuck credits for 4 BDs. The MiL is impressed.
Every PAX first MiL patch is free, but additional patches are $4.50, payable to Dr. Pepper Shake.
The Mother-in-Log acts as a symbol of the PAX consistent commitment to D3L. The endeavor often does not make sense to a Sad Clown, but to HIM, represents a persistence in taking his DRP, earning massive respect from his peers.
