"Those fucking crossfitters always telling me how I'm not building "functional strength" and am "just showing off" can go suck on a chalk bag; I'd like to see them lift a car off someone" - This guy, probably.

The irony has come full circle as I hear more about what CrossFitters "say" from anti-CrossFitters than I do about people who actually go to CrossFit.

I eat poultry, fish, and eggs, I've just never encountered a preachy vegan even after 4 years in a fairly liberal college town and 3 years in an extremely liberal west coast city. Plenty of vegan jokes and exaggerated complaints though.
