“In implementation, this looks like sport. This is revolutionary. It's as distinctive of the program as are the movements and the charter of functionality and variance. Our workouts are competitive events.
The strength and value of CrossFit lies entirely within our dominance of other athletes. This is a truth divined through competition, not debate.”
Greg Glassman, CrossFit Co-Founder & CEO

Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to all the volunteers, spectators, and competitors for a great weekend!
As if it wasn't bad enough, having to compete against the likes of Speal and Jolie and Dutch and Maggie, now even you spectators had better start working on your game.
Dr. Darrell "Bingo" White is staking claim to the Top Spectator title, so the rest of you guys had better get your game-watching-faces on and come prepared for battle.

(from http://www.vcrossfit.com/200805/developing-your-first-pull-ups/)
I'm a big Bingo fan because I found CrossFit in January, overseas so no affiliate, no trainers, and Bingo was our surrogate coach and trainer through the mainpage comments when we did our first WODs.
Didn't mean to threadjack! that link above has a fatal typo, though: http://www.vcrossfit.com/200805/developing-your-first-pull-ups/
I just linked it because there's a photo of a one-armed L-sit in business attire...
Bingo, are you wearing a BOW TIE ?!?!?! So the un-pointed toes are not the only massive style foul going on here... :-P
Ah, Kirez, Tony got me on the way up. Besides, no self-respecting washed-up ex-football player EVER points his toes (except in the act, that is).
Regarding the bow tie, everybody needs a look; this one just happens to be mine (I'm essentially incognito outside the office without it). But come to think of it, one wears a bow tie because one CAN...
:=)
And I'm sharing a hotel room with this guy?
That'll do pig. LOL So looking forward to seeing you my friend.
