Marty Party
The reverse of a Swampy Romp. A date between Amos Halftrack and Bryant Hollifiield. Held without his wife, Martha, aka Marty, knowing the date is often held very sneakily. Amos often grabs Bryant wanting to get out of the house. Marty Parties are fun! If you want some fun time, don't be tardy - you don't want to be late for a Marty Party!
Amos: Hey Bryant, let's get out of here. I got a golf game with Major Burk today. You want to come?
Bryant: Sure! This is gonna be a Marty Party. Marty won't even know we're gone.
Amos: I got an idea. Why don't I wear my PJs and that party hat? Randy's gonna flip! (he laughs at Bryant)
Bryant: This is gonna be good. Boy, are we gonna have fun!
Amos: Why not?! You know you love to have dates with us. This is your first Marty Party, I think.
Randy: Hey Amos, long time, no see! You here for our golf game? And who is the boy?
Amos: This is my friend, Bryant Hollifield. We're having a Marty Party. Just him and me. The wife isn't here.
Randy: (shakes Bryant's hand) I'm Major Randy Burk. I've heard so much about you. You were at the party the other night, weren't you?
Bryant: Yes. I hope I didn't ruin it.
Randy: No, you didn't. Here, let's play! What do you think, maybe nine holes? With whoever gets the most putts in the holes wins? (they all start playing)
Amos: Whoah, that was a fun game we played! I can't believe we beat him. Boy, is Marty gonna be mad! (he runs to his easy chair and flops down in it)
Marty: Where have you been? Did you have a good time?
Bryant: Sure! You missed it. Marty Parties rock. You should have been there.
Bryant: Sure! This is gonna be a Marty Party. Marty won't even know we're gone.
Amos: I got an idea. Why don't I wear my PJs and that party hat? Randy's gonna flip! (he laughs at Bryant)
Bryant: This is gonna be good. Boy, are we gonna have fun!
Amos: Why not?! You know you love to have dates with us. This is your first Marty Party, I think.

Brocade Buddies
Friends who love to do qigong together. Especially the baduanjin, which in Chineese means '8 Silky Brocades'. This is one of the most wonderful qigong stretches and Hec Hanley and Beatrice Middleton often do it together. Brocade buddies often do qigong for hours, never stopping to speak. So if you love the healing martial arts, get a bunch a of your Brocade Buddies together and do the 8 Silky Brocades. You will feel silky!
Bryant: Hey Hec, let's do some qigong! After all, we are Brocade Buddies.
Hec: You got that right. The baduanjin, the 8 Silky Stretches. (he starts doing them)
Bryant: Easy now, you don't want too much fire. This is meant to heal, not hurt.
Hec: Yes. (he does Drawing the Bow to Shoot the Hawk) Now, that felt good. This is crazy fun!
Bryant: Now, let's do Angry Gaze. (he squats into the horse stance and punches at Hec's stomach) There, think Angry Tiger!
Hec: Good one, my poor heart! These brocades really work. Hooooooooooo (the heart healing sound).
Bryant: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that.
Hec: Its okay. Now, those are great exercises, huh? But now I need a Hanley Freeze. You want one?
Bryant: Sure! How about a chi massage, too? That'll perk you up.
Hec: (starts rubbing on Bryant) Easy now. We're Brocade Buddies! Now, this is going to be good. Don't hurt yourself.
Bryant: Xie xie! (means 'thank you' in Chineese) That was one great workout. I feel silky now! Brocade Buddies forever! High wu! ('five', in Chineese)

Liv Lean
Another stretch done by the Hatleys. Done by first stretching your hands into the air. Then bending forward almost to your feet. Its often done by Ben Hatley after he's been sitting for too long. It is also done by his wife, Liv. Guaranteed to relax a creaky back. Its one of the exercises collectively known as 'Hatley Stretches'.
Liv: Oh no, my back's all creaky. I gotta do a Liv Lean.
Ben: You poor thing! I know what you need. My back gets creaky sometimes, too. Only I do a Hatley Hula to stretch mine.
Liv: Yeah, but the Liv Lean is much easier. All you do is throw your hands up in the air and then lean forward. You know, like you were going to touch your toes, but you just dangle your hands in front. It gives you a good, long stretch in your back. (Liv demonstrates to Ben how the stretch is done).
Ben: Wow! This really works. Its a real s-t-r-e-t-c-h! (groans in relief) Good one, Liv! My back feels great now.
Liv: (starts laughing at him) I told you so! Its one of the best back stretches. This is great! Whenever your back is sore, a Liv Lean can perk it right up.
Opal: Did I hear you right? Is that one of your stretches you do? My back's a little creaky. Can you show me?
Ben: Sure, you stretch your hands over your head and then lean down almost to the ground. It really stretches the back.
Opal: Sweet! I'm gonna have to show this to Ed. He'll love it.
Ben: You poor thing! I know what you need. My back gets creaky sometimes, too. Only I do a Hatley Hula to stretch mine.

Swampy Sneak
The sight of seeing SFC. Orville P. Snorkle in sneakers, which he hardly ever wears. He was recently seen in sneakers on October 7, 2011 getting ready to play tennis with Pvt. Beetle Bailey. Swampy Sneaks are very hard to spot but Sarge, as he is known, is the most frequent wearer of them. The other guys don't often wear them. If you want to see something sweet, catch Sgt. Snorkle in his Swampy Sneaks!
Orville: Hey Stainy, how about some tennis? I got my Swampy Sneak!
Stainy: You're on! Bet I'll beat you. Nothing beats a good game of tennis. Sweet Jesus!
Orville: (he lifts his foot up to show Stainy the sneaker) Check this out, size 15! Great traction, comfy as all get out! These babies make me the king of the swamp.
Stainy: (yelling) Hold on, wait till you see mine. I drew a picture of Mary on these. Sweet! (they start playing tennis)
Orville: Well, that's 15-Love. I'm ready for you anytime, night or day! (they start chasing each other back and forth hitting the tennis ball)
Stainy: Match point! Look out, I'm gonna get this. (he hits the ball so hard it gets Orville on the foot) Take that! Right on the Swampy Sneak.
Orville: Good one! You beat me, I admit it. But, aren't these Swampy Sneaks fun to wear? Pretty snazzy, huh?
Stainy: You're on! Bet I'll beat you. Nothing beats a good game of tennis. Sweet Jesus!

Leaf Jacks
A form of jumping jacks done under a tree, combining yard work and exercise. This was created by Ralph Drabble on September 30, 2011. They are hard to do because the leaves fall with every jump. The leaves are caught, then raked into a pile. As the final part of the exercise one monster jumping jack is taken and the leaves are jumped into and then played with. Leaf Jacks are a great way to get cardio and yard work at the same time. So if you're tired but want to relax, take a tip from Ralph - try Leaf Jacks!
Ralph: Oh no, time for some Leaf Jacks! This yard is gonna get covered in leaves. (he starts doing jumping jacks and counting) One.. Two.. Three.. Four..
Hec: Hey, what are you doing? Is that some sort of weird jumping jack?
Ralph: Yes, its a Leaf Jack. You catch the leaves while you're doing jumping jacks. Try it out!
Hec: (starts doing some Leaf Jacks) Yi.. Er.. San.. Si.. Wow! Nice one! Great for qigong.
Ralph: These are right. Great healing movies. (make a seeahh sound)
Beatrice: I saw that! You two guys better hustle. (she turns into Gunny Granny mode) Move it! MOVE IT! (she starts doing some Leaf Jacks) Wow, these work! A Gunny Granny could learn to love these.
Hec: Yup! Maybe they should be part of Marine Corps PT.
Ralph: Sweet! A Drabble's gotta do what a Drabble's gotta do. (he rakes the leaves up and they all jump into it, playing) Leaf Jacks rule!

Hatley Heave
A push up done by Ben Hatley. Done by holding one hand on the floor and pushing yourself only by one arm and only by the index finger. These are intensely hard to do. They can also be done against a wall. Its one of Ben's favorite exercises. So if you want arms no woman would want to leave, stand on one hand and do a Hatley Heave!
Ben: Hey Michael, look at this! I'm doing my Hatley Heave.
Michael: Wow! I never seen you do that. Its just a push up on one hand, right?
Ben: Yes, just lay down here and I'll show you what to do. (they both lie down) Push up on one hand and stick out your index finger. See how long you can hold it.
Michael: Woah, hard! I never thought that push ups could be so much fun!
Ben: Well, you're Grandpa is a big old bear. I've been doing push ups for years. And this is my favorite kind. You can't go wrong with a Hatley Heave!
Michael: (does another Hatley Heave) Yes! They're awesome! I'm gonna have to tell Nick about this. Maybe Alec, too. They'll like it.
Ben: The Hatley Heave is hot! Bicep inferno!
Michael: Wow! I never seen you do that. Its just a push up on one hand, right?
