Even at $4.30 per gallon, CFE and their continued bullshit tops off my hate fuel tank every time!

The force is strong in those @fitters.

Just asking...but if DJ, GM, Jay, and i all drank beer and watched ESPN2 for a year, then started training exclusively for a Judo Tournament in 6 months, DJ, Jay, and me with Olympic caliber coaches, and GM his normal way...who wins?

Bottom line is once you get to the top of the mountain, it is a lot easier to stay there. CFE is just like the Shamans who relieve th epressure in the eye of Villagers, but leave them worse off or blind:

Another problem lies in the villagers' beliefs in folk medicine. A popular practice that is thought to cure cataracts is "couching", a procedure that involves sticking a needle or any other sharpened object straight into the eye to dislodge the lens and therefore allow people who were once blind to now sense light. As one can imagine, couching is extremely harmful to eyes and mostly results in permanent damage that surgeries cannot fix. Traditional healers advocate this practice because they do not know or do not believe that cataract surgeries can restore people's vision; there is still a sense of distrust concerning Western medicine. As a result, Dr. Wanye's office is often frequented by couching cases gone wrong, and most of the time, the damage is irreparable.

So "couching" is permanently injuring someone based on belief in folk medicine?

[Mountebank]

Wow, guess I'm not the only guy who has to fix people from "couching" damage.

My size and strength would wear down GM a little bit but my lack of skill would enable me to get hip tossed like a cheap whore on a foldout bed.

GM would win, unless we box, then I gots that shizzle :D

CFE makes me angry, I've talked with real elite runners and they look at it as a joke and a nice little training breakup, but in no way does it prepare anyone for a true endurance race.

Call it what it is, it makes @fitters better at 5 and 10K races, that's all.

[tzg]

When Glassman gave barky and bboi about $100K worth of affiliate, he set the precedent that he didn't give a fuck about affiliates.

This is true. But I forget whether they were at the point where they look askance at people not charging enough or not giving a shit anymore as long as they get their franchise fee.

Why doesn't Dan John do box jumps again?

Choice quotes from her "community":

Kathy F April 21, 2011 at 4:02 pm
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! MEGHAN! That is ridiculous. And totally hot – you’re a true CrossFitter for sure! Yikes. I honestly don’t know how it hasn’t happened to me – those box jumps are dangerous. And apparently can require a tetanus shot. Wow.

Jen Tipping April 21, 2011 at 3:55 pm
Sorry for your injury Meghan, you are tough!!! How about a little warning for the fainters in your audience when posting pix of battle wounds?

Emily April 21, 2011 at 3:30 pm
Well, those who chose not to do box jumps today had to do weighted step ups instead and meghan decided mid-workout box jumps were the better option. Either way, Meghan probably deserves an Rx for the day!

Meghan April 21, 2011 at 3:30 pm
I DID lift 95lbs…. I think we were distracted by the goose egg on my leg-
Ps…it is just now staring to hurt- Luke , I may skip tomorrow- k?

Eric April 21, 2011 at 3:24 pm
Oh and you finished the Work Out correct? If so that’s Bad Azz! Why isn’t there RX next to your name because I know that a 95# Dead Lift is like a walk in the park for you.

Emily April 21, 2011 at 3:16 pm
9 stiches?? Meghan- you’re a champ

Lisa Milko April 21, 2011 at 3:05 pm
oh yes, plus a tetanus shot. Ouchie.

Eric April 21, 2011 at 2:59 pm
Meghan congrats on the war wound and a shout out also to the photographer Lisa, who captured this 9 stitch wound on photo.

Kevin K April 21, 2011 at 2:40 pm
wow! I can’t believe it took that many stitches. Did u ever take a pic lisa? Way to tough it out meghan!

Lisa Milko April 21, 2011 at 2:15 pm
Congrats to Meghan for not only learning box jumps, but also for taking 9 stitches to close up the “learning curve” gash on her shin.

[Jay]

I hate that shit... only in @fit is it cool to be a fucking retard.

The hate is rekindling hardcore.

[Alfred_E._Neuman]

My hate has been on full boil again for quite a while now. Absolute fucking loathing.

[sanchezero]

retards! what a great idea! how can we get couchfit into the special olympics?

In regards to lululemon

-They have a men’s line, you know, for men who do yoga. Ha. What a bunch of fucking Nancies.

 “Flexibilty is for girls.”

His interview on the UnRx was pretty good.

I have to give credit where it is due. And I'd like to think when Tim Burners-Lee invented the WWW, this place is exactly what he had in mind.

Also, I was dying to find out how exactly I'd get mocked for linking here.

[Drywall]

Thanks. I realized about a minute into it "wait, I can't just go back and edit what I say until I get it exactly how I want it? Fuck." I'm sticking to writing.

[Yes I Have Balls]

I really got worried when this Diane Sanfilippo lady came in to talk to us about paleo food, and I heard her tell us that saturated fats have no bearing on heart disease. Despite my credentials, I was under pressure from the group to reject the 25 years of clinical research that I’ve done on the subject and accept the word of a former fat chick turned health nut.

=D>

[Cave Canem]

I guess I overestimated Drywall's influence in the @fit realm. I thought this thread would be filled with @fit douchebaggery today.

[Mountebank]

Drywall,
Noting that you changed your website's address, are we to assume you got a cease & desist letter from the HMIC???

[Shafpocalypse Now]

Did that clammy palmed and limp wristed dipshit Dale send it?

[WildGorillaMan]

Drywall,

If you did in fact get a real C&D then a) I'm totally jealous and b) please scan and post it. I've never seen a legit @fit C&D, just whiny legally-sounding emails.

Shaf, the emails I've seen have all been written by some legal assistant chick.

[Shafpocalypse Now]

LULZ.

Gregg loved to brag about how high powered his lawyers were.

Fuck Drywall. He does @fit and makes fun of it at the same time....

that's the same as sucking a cock and calling the guy getting sucked a faggot, IMO.

Shit, I wish. If I ever receive a C&D that shit is going straight up on the blog. Talk about a traffic bump.

I moved the site because blogger sucks and I wanted better analytics and functionality, nothing more really. However, I have a few lawyer friends who are familiar with Couch's insanity over having @fit in your URL, and if I go for profit and sell anything at all (like T shirts, which I'm planning to do soon), I don't want to have to change URL's a second time. I don't think their bullshit would fly in court, but I'm not the one with shit tons of L1 cert money with nothing better to do with it than piss it away filing frivolous lawsuits. Besides, "Drywall CrossFit" doesn't even make any fucking sense.

WGM - Dude, send me those emails. Maybe I can have some fun with them.

I guess I overestimated Drywall's influence in the @fit realm. I thought this thread would be filled with @fit douchebaggery today.

C'mon now. That crowd is too busy jerking it to the CrossFit Journal to bother reading my shit.

Fucking finally. Too many motherfuckers ballwashing me in here.

The rest of us are ignoring your "oh hai! I'm late to the party!" bitch ass.

Let me guess: Crossfit was your LYFE!! until your first labrum tear. Now you're meddling about on a blog with one foot still up Crossfit's ass.

you remind me of POD, with a bit more wit.
