BAND OF (BODIE) BROTHERS

Knoxville, Tenn. - May 12, 2011 -- Larry Bodie, youngest brother of two of the founding members of the Advanced Workout Group reported to workouts today at the RBI facility. Larry, the very successful CEO of a well known local IT services company attempted to join the group now affectionately known as "Jerry's Kids".

Bryan Rodriguez, director of the RBI location, paired Larry with the namesake of the group and the Very Reverend David Boettner thinking Larry could handle the less strenuous workout the two are known for. Larry did fairly well until the bosu pushup segment that left him muttering "someone promised me there would be beer here".

At one point in the workout, it appeared that Father David might have to perform the Sacrament of the Sick more commonly known as "Last Rites". It was then pointed out by Kirk Icuss that even though Larry had recently signed a lucrative IT services contract with Sacred Heart Cathedral, he had not yet converted to the one true and holy apostolic church. Father David confirmed this report but indicated a deal had been struck that could see Larry's entire company attending services at the Cathedral in the next few weeks.

Others in the group compared Larry's visit with that of his middle brother Ken in July of last year. You might recall from an earlier report that Ken had quite a bit of trouble with plate pushes. It was pointed out to Larry the he was indeed fortunate that Miss Elise Icuss was not returning to the workout group until next week as she returns home for the summer break. Miss Icuss is known for her sharp wit and physical prowess as she almost brought Ken to tears at his first and ONLY visit to RBI last summer.

As Larry left the facility, he could be heard calling his office to officially take a "sick day". The group really hopes that Larry returns next week as there is a slight chance their daily rate from PTI could be reduced by as much as $1.35.

The Advanced Workout Group Alumni Report


THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING
Jerry Bodie, an alumnus of the Advanced Workout Group continues to have great success in his life after having been “counseled out” of the Advanced Workout Group several years earlier. After drifting aimlessly for a while, Jerry found a new home at RBI and started the now famous Tuesday/Thursday “Jerry’s Kids” workout team. In addition to his world travels and half marathon training, Jerry continues to be active in his church and community. On a recent Friday night, Jerry was observed at Cherokee Country Club enjoying exclusive access to the Nine O’clock Cotillion Board Room in the Old Grill after a well-received master of ceremonies performance on behalf of the ladies of the Cotillion. Jerry’s pleasing baritone, his proper enunciation, and his exacting syntax all combined to result in one of the most talked about emcee performances at Nine O’clock Cotillion in many years.
This buffo performance in service of the beautiful ladies of Nine O’clock, his many community service commitments, and his present seat on the Board of Cherokee Country Club all point to one more future accomplishment to add to Jerry’s already very full resume………

A future King of Nine O’clock Cotillion!!!

Congratulations, Jerry, on all your success after leaving the Advanced Workout Group and keep up the great work! You make us proud!
