    Oldest physics-based “interview question” in the world -
    What happens when an immovable object is confronted with an irresistible force?

    First Filthy Fifty. That was rough. Double unders done 1 or (rarely) 2 at a time. Another area to give more attention and frequent practice.

  • chris p

    hey Allison, those are my shoes.. sorry I will pick them up today.
    Jeff & Juan, I got those Nikes about a year and half ago at the Nike Store. The one good thing about the Nike Store is that they usually have sales, and I picked those up for $49, along with an ugly pair of 3′s for $49. If your near there I would just pop in from time to time to see if anything is on sale.

    I was at Niketown on Sunday and they had the new 5.0 and new 3.0 in a couple colors. If you get up there this weekend they’ll probably still have some.

    There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.
    Outer space exists because it’s afraid to be on the same planet with Chuck Norris.
    Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

    The answer to my riddle was that when faced with an irresistible force, an immovable object changes its physical properties and becomes movable.
    This is probably my favorite Chuck Norris fact. Not quite sure why…:
    “Chuck Norris once ate a whole cake before his friends could tell him there was a stripper in it.”

    this was so bad.

  • martin

    Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse-kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn’t stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.

  • Rory

    For the finance geeks:
    Chuck Norris doesn’t mark-to-market. The market marks to Chuck Norris.
    There is no market regulator. Just a list of securities Chuck Norris allows to be traded.
    Chuck Norris’s subprime collateralized debt obligations still trade at par.
    The tears of Chuck Norris could provide enough liquidity to solve the credit crisis. Too bad he never cries.

    Rory, those are great (I don’t totally understand them as I’m not a finance person, but I still like ‘em.)
    Someone should come up with crossfit-specific Chuck Norris facts…
    Took it easy and did the “Dirty Thirty” version of today’s WOD, subbing 20″-inch box jumps and 14# wallball. 23:47. Thanks to Sara for the encouragement at the end.

  • Sara

    First filthy fifty:
    31:01, subbed 14# for wallballs

  • Tony T.

    35:53 as rx’d – Holy crap this sucked!
    (17,11)
    Thanks to everyone for cheering me on.

  • Davi

    First Filthy Fifty for me too, modified as follows:
    14# for wallballs (attempted 20 for a couple, but couldn’t get it above the bottom of the yellow line)
    50 tuck jumps for double unders (next time I’m going for the jump rope – I would be better served from a skill POV by improving my jump rope skills, but I took the advice I read on the crossfit mainsite stating that tuck jumps are a more appropriate sub than single unders)
    35 good mornings with 45# bar while someone else was on the GHD, then I switched for the final 20
    27:40

  • Davi

    correction – that should say 30 and 20, not 35 and 20

  • Tripp

    Thanks to Jeff, Allison, and Juan for getting the 1230 WOD up and running today.
    Filthy Fifty – 25:33 (PR by 3:30) (56,55)
    This is one of the WOD’s I love to show the guys at work. It really makes people question our sanity I think.

  • Zach Singer

    - Chuck Norris makes Fran take a nervous pee before he does her.
    - Chuck Norris gives Fran butterflies.
    - Chuck Norris doesn’t get Rhabdoed, Rhabdo gets Chuck Norris’ed.
    - One cannot calculate the power output or foot-pounds of a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick. It happens too fast to be measured and with infinite force.
    - Chuck Norris cannot do Lynne – his max rep set for anything is infinity. Upon realizing this he promptly roundhouse kicked Lynne in the face.

  • Steve-O

    Chuck Norris once walked down the street with a massive erection…there were no survivors.

  • Davi

    Thanks for the shout-out on the blog, Allison!
    I encourage you all to come to a FREE! performance – one each on Saturday night, Sunday afternoon and eve.
    CoMotion features yours truly with a small, tight-knit ensemble of actor-dancers and a big, bad-ass ensemble of percussionists. It’s a really fun show with music by Philip Glass and John Cage (among others), original text and text by Sam Shepard, mind-fucking choreography, and astonishing rhythms.
    You can email info@blessedunrest.org for reservations.
    Hope to see you!

  • Diego

    I think the original to Rory’s reference:
    Chuck Norris’ tears can cure cancer….too bad he never cries.
    I would like his more, except I’ve never had money to lose.

    You need to clap. It takes as much energy to clap as it does to flip me the bird.

  • Mike T

    First time posting. 35:02 as Rx (did the 50 reps all the way through). Struggled, but really enjoyed this one tonight. Thanks to Levi for the encouragement at the end.

  • george

    all this LOCKING IN really brings a smile to my face. I love you people. You are my inspiration.
    Juan. I think you should LOCK IN on getting Diddy to the box.

  • Mike

    first time doing the 50 – 25:23 rx’d
    burpees were kinda slow and I still suck at double unders. Levi, thanks for showing me how to kip the K-to-E’s. Made a huge difference!

    RX, 24:27

  • Jeffrey B.

    Levi,
    Either you’re two minutes too long on your time or I am two too short. Let me know if you’re positive that you were at 26+.

  • Levi

    Jeff, thanks. I thought that was wrong as soon as hit “submit.”
