As you know we’re opening a gym pretty soon called “CrossFit Charlottesville.” I won’t tell you too much about it just yet other than it’s going to be awesome. We’re struggling with a t-shirt slogan and wanted your input. CrossFit works better than any other fitness program because we do functional movements, constantly vary our movements and do them at high intensity (more on all this later).
As for the slogan, we just want it to be funny and doesn’t have to be specific to CrossFit.
Here’s what we like so far:
Specialization is for single-celled organisms.
Not just for ninjas.
Where dudes love to clean and chicks love the snatch. These are olympic lifts.

The guy had his problems, but Michael Jackson’s undoubtedly the king of pop music. Yesterday, Jackson collapsed in his rented LA home and his physician attempted to resuscitate him. Jackson reportedly slipped into cardiac arrest. Medics attempted CPR in an attempt to revive him as they rushed him to the hospital. He was pronounced dead at 2:26 local time.
Back in early 2008, we discovered that well over half of you text while driving (even though only about 20% of you do it regularly). Today, thanks to a birdie, we found out that reading or sending texts will be illegal while driving. We have no idea how they will enforce the reading part of that or why you are allowed to read a map, but oh well.
Quiznos, McDonald’s, Burger King, Hardees, I can’t get over the level of marketing stupidity you have when you associate fast food with hot women, sex, blow jobs and all the other stuff which has NOTHING TO DO with your crappy food. It doesn’t make the food taste any better. Walking into McDonald’s the other day I couldn’t stop thinking about the “Awesome Threesome” and how gross that would be if it were included in any real (read: non-food) sexual experience. Burger king, you just kind of piss me off with Seven Incher ad. Anyone else notice a recent rise of the porno food ads?

On Tuesday, June 23, the University of Virginia Medical Center’s epidemiologist, Dr. Keri Hall, sent an email to all Medical Center employees informing them that a small number of healthcare employees had been diagnosed with novel H1N1 influenza. As has been widely reported, the symptoms of this virus have ranged from very mild, cold-like symptoms to more severe influenza symptoms. It is generally being described as seasonal flu.
Dr. Hall advised U.Va. Hospital staff that they should not come to work if they develop flu-like symtoms. Symptoms include fever, sore throat, chills, runny nose, nasal congestion, headache, nausea, and vomiting. Employees were asked to immediately contact Employee Health to be evaluated if they had any worrisome symptoms.
“Please be vigilant about noticing any visitors who appear to be ill or have a significant cough,” Hall added. “Sick visitors should be asked to avoid visiting until their symptoms have resolved.”
Time to stop making out with everyone and licking each other’s hands.
This is totally not relevant local news, but ABC16 begs to differ. They went out and interviewed people in town to find out their reaction to Jon and Kate Gosselin’s recent divorce announcement. Bla bla bla. Here is the skinny…they are filing for divorce while continue to produce/air new episodes which supposedly give them $75k per episode. With 8 kids to feed and lawyers about to tear out each others throats now is about bringing in as much cash as possible, even if it means airing your dirty laundry. While taking a moral high ground might make you feel all warm and gushy inside, unfortunately it doesn’t pay the bills. On the flip side maybe we will all know what a divorce really is like…cause this is not any of that made for reality TV crap…oh wait
Not to come as a surprise, the Virginia Republican Party filed a freedom of information act for the travel records of Gov. Kaine’s activities as the chairman of the Democratic National Committee. What do you think the VPR might find? Perhaps corporations and other private businesses (gasp) are paying for his travel? Isn’t that what lobbying and donations are all about? Gov. Kaine is kind of digging his own mini ditch by denying the information request at first on the grounds of a security breach (not a really good answer). The Roanoke Times reports:
Nevertheless, the governor has a duty to Virginians beyond just the letter of FOIA. The only way the public can verify that his moonlighting has not interfered with his gubernatorial responsibilities is if it knows where and when he traveled and on whose dime. If big Democratic donors who have business before state agencies have provided free flights, people ought to know.
So Gov. Kaine could either be:
1)flying on someone’s personal dime
2)working on super secret DNC stuff
3)trying to give off the appearance that something weird is going on so that the VRP wastes time on this (I like this one)
4)doing nothing wrong
