Crossfitters are the shitlords of weight lifting

So I don't know **** about crossfit other than it can **** your kidneys up. But as someone who tries to stay in reasonable shape by going to the gym regularly and understands the basics of exercise forms... what the holy **** is this "exercise" supposed to do? Tear your rotator cuffs? This literally flies in the face of everything we know about how the human body is supposed to work...

Last night was so successful. A lady friend came out from Reno to visit overnight. Went for a moonlit dirt backroad drive.

She drank all those blech-y Watermelon Dorados in my fridge I've been unable to pawn off for over a year. I swear there is some unwritten rule, for every break up, you lose 1 hoodie and gain a 6 pack of ****** fruited beer.

I was more amused that Julian needed to call attention to himself for getting name dropped by DDB. And then Julian went all in by contemplating about how this event, coupled with his disappearance from FB would cause would-be taggers from the N.C. beer scene to sit frozen in confusion.

I may be a jaded old ****, but that’s just the reality of the situation.

4 years ago Subbydoo name dropped me in a Fantome review. It took 2-3 years for anyone to notice and tell me about it.


Do I get a TB member point now?

A few years back he gave me a shout out when he posted about Boulevard Tank 7.

I'd also like a trophy point.

There's a cross fit gym a couple blocks from my house, I always get a kick out of the crazy stuff they do in there.

There's a gym in a strip mall parking lot by this ice cream place we go to and these ******* idiots are just out running around through the busy parking lot and doing different exercises and ****. I don't hope for death but a nice semi serious car related injury would be good to get these idiots to not do that kind of thing.

Is this the same kind of stuff that you see on American Ninja Warrior?

Yeah, there's a case of that flavored hard cider in my fridge leftover from exactly this. Though it does come in handy when she comes back over for one night stands.

On the flip side, she took the pajama pants various girls have had to borrow since 2005. A big loss, really.

Hehe.

I actually did the Sasuke course at Muscle Park in Tokyo a few years ago. THAT **** IS HARD.

We just need to pair CrossFit with a gym. Maybe one in Florida?

 

[dbannister]

Hehe.

If there is an obstacle course that involves me doing a single pull up and then using that to justify drinking more beer because of the calories I've "banked", then I think I'd definitely give it a shot.

Guess whos maid just got fired?

Any updates on firing of your maid?

Or is she harboring a secret love child somewhere?

Or is he an undercover shitlord who destroyed that glass to influence the #properglassware value of that?

Is there a such thing as a female equivalent of a shitlord in the beer scene and if so would they be shitlady?

Dookieduchess would be my choice.

Shitlord is gender neutral. Everyone can be a shitlord. Sadly.

Semi-rhetorical question based on the reaction mentioned earlier to the review of a beer I sent to DDB and me drinking and enjoying a different beer tonight from the same brewery: why is it so hard these days for so many beer drinkers (mostly outside of this site, it should be said) to say "yeah, I enjoyed beer X from brewery Y but beer Z was not good"? It feels like so much of the discourse around certain breweries (especially new/hyped/traded ones) descends into dumb factionalism of "fanboys" and "haters".

And for whatever reason Barrel Culture is extremely polarizing. I don’t get why people don’t see them for what they are. A young sour brewery with a very nice group of owners who are making a ridiculous number of variations of them same beer. Some are really good, some are OK, others are below par.

There really isnt too much more to them; although it’s become my favorite place locally to grab a beer and chill out.

They make beer with ******* popsicles and put fires emojis in almost all forms of communication.

Sounds like back when the funky Buddha lounge was putting out fruited enamel stripping berliners.

Whenever I think I've found the craziest / dumbest **** in the beer world (The Answer and Joose Crowlers, putting Gatorade and Kool Aide powder in beers ala Wakefield and Cycle, anything that Omnipollo does), I find out that breweries are really putting popsicles in beers?

Because they pretty much just copied and pasted The Veil's awfulness.

I haven’t had their popsicle beers yet, so maybe that has something to do with my thoughts.

The Veil has a much different level of awfulness. Which is sad because their owner/brewer is awesome but man have they gone off the tracks.

They were never on them in the first place.

Post-Prohibition - Giant Light-Lagers take over the beer market in America

1970s/80s - new smaller breweries form and start making beer inspired by English ales and other European styles ("beers with flavor"). Home brewing legalized.

1990s/00s - not just content with beers just being "not light-lagers" breweries push ABVs and start taking on the "Reinheitsgebot" to make beers with stuff found in their kitchen. (rise of extreme beers)

2010s - newer breweries throw up the middle finger to style and raid their entire supermarket to play a game of "Will it Ferment?"

Huh, TIL “polarizing” means sugary, gimmicky, and downright god awful

There's a lot of people who sign right the **** up for that gimmicky ****. In fact a local brewery here recently did a mixed fermentation beer with marijuana terpenes. It's not as good as their dry hopped version but sold out a hell of a lot faster, you know, cuz ****** weed bro!

Similar to lambic, is IPA bar mitzvah, quinceanera, wedding, anniversary, birthday a thing too?
