More Hopperesque images from the Becky and Barry portfolio. We like to call this one, “The Honeymoon Is Over”; wherein an exhausted Barry collapses on the floor while his bride Becky turns away, seemingly more interested in some bright, shiny object on the floor than the despair of her man.
Okay, Art Appreciation 101 is over. Now, onto the daily reminder for our Yuletide Extravanganza!
Tomorrow: 6pm. WOD/Libations/Food/Regis Philbin/Hands Across America/Bearded Lady. (Perhaps even RayRay doing his best Axl Rose impersonation?)
($5 suggested donation to Operation Phoenix. Canned Goods for Food Bank. $10 Grab Bag.)
And, because someone (Rich!) pointed out that we have been a bit Nate-focused lately, how could we let the day go by without another photo of Nate? Here you go — in his new winter parka nonetheless. What’s that got to do with CrossFit? Absolutely nothing! 
(But check out that woman next to him! She’s absolutely inspiring. Is she a CrossFit trainer?)
Thinking about what to do between now and Jan 1st? Here you go.

Nate surely deserves the publicity. Nice matching jackets.
Wait!!! what’s that I see on the chin of that CrossFit trainer? Could it be? Yes, drool
Chris, stay clear.
Lis, you still have a wonderful smile for an MOP.
See youall tonight

Hate to be a kill-joy here….but any thoughts on a backup plan if Friday night is a no-go????
December 18th, 2008 at 11:33 am
@Sueloz, How about “Ordinary Joe’s” for BHS’s (Bar Hand Stands) and finger food? & beer & wine & UConn basket ball.
December 18th, 2008 at 11:46 am
Now for some better news; we had some good L-sits/L-pullups last night. Dan is quite good, Greg is right there and Barry showed some promise, too. Fovgive me if I forgot anyone. And, even after major abdominal surgery, Melis got it done too. I, on the other hand, need MUCH more practice.
December 18th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
@Sueloz – Backup Plan? I’ve only been a few times now but I expected more from this group. I figured the WOD would be shoveling the Old Pin Shop parking lot for time. If there were not enough shovels, the people waiting would do burpees. After the WOD, we would then just drink and eat until the roads were clear. If the booze runs out, there is a liquor store in the building (I figured that’s why Lis chose this particular location for CFWatertown). It is Friday. Don’t pretend that any us have anywhere else better to be.
Lis – I’M JOKING about the WOD and NO! I can’t bring extra snow shovels from home.
December 18th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Regis Philbin….Now that’s hot!
December 18th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Greg might be new but he’s got this place nailed!
No back-up plan. Man up or wuss out. Such is life.
And somebody toss the PCF riff-raff out. Jeez, we need a bouncer in this club. Makin’ fun of Regis . . . Really . .
December 18th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
OH MY GOD
Chris – PleEEEEEAAAASSSEEEE explain to Greg why we don’t make jokes like that anywhere where Lis might see or hear them…
December 18th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Greg…it sounds like you found your home…I’ll see you all tomorrow.
December 18th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
Ok — now that I’m back from taking my 80-year-old mother to Costco (yikes! Complete with motorized scooter and everything!) I will say this: We’ll watch the weather and see how bad the snow is going to be.
If horrible, we can go to Plan B.

If my post get’s through, there is a nice shot of a “functional work-out” Let’s just make sure that Lis doesn’t have us show up at her house…
December 18th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Ah, David, your posts that contain links are caught by the filter and held for approval.
Link-less and they should post immediately. It’s freeing. Like typing naked.
Not that I’m doing that right now.
Really, I’m not.
December 18th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Chris: (In jest) “HEY ARE WE DOING 1,400 SQUATS TONIGHT?????”
Lis: “GREAT IDEA, CHRIS! EVERYONE IS DOING 1,400 SQUATS TONIGHT YAY!!!”
*Collective groan from everyone else.*
———————————–
Hi, I’m Chris Perugini, and the above scenario is a perfect example of a Chris moment. You don’t want to be a Chris. Take it from me. If you EVER suggest something in a joking (or serious for that matter) fashion, Lis will very likely take that suggestion to heart, much to the chagrin of certain other CFWers *Cough*Becky*Cough*. Don’t be a Chris.
This has been a CrossFit Watertown Public Service Announcement
December 18th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
lol,lol,lol Chris You’re the BOMB!!!!!!!!!
December 18th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
1400 squats for time…I wonder what the time would be????
December 18th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
what is plan b???? i’m off for the next 2 weeks, so don’t worry about my schedule for plan b…..
matt
December 18th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
here is my plan ‘b’ drive in the snow with pugs and matt to crossfit watertown, no one shows up, break in, spend the night, start a new trend…’5am wod from traveling trainers’ go home, pass out.
we are planning on leaving here at 3:30, so if you call it off, lemme know.
@nate, super star that you are….nice rowing, you catching up! sweet!
@sue-lets partner up this time eh?
December 18th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
I thought plan B was always “drink all the beer in the fridge.”
December 18th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
Now that is the sort of Chris moment we want more of.
December 18th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
Ding, Ding, Ding! Chris is the winner. (Old Air Force Trivia: Plan B is ALWAYS “drink all the beer in the frig.” It’s amazing how easily you forget about the disappointment of Plan A, as long as you have a good Plan B.)
If there is some dire weather word by 12 noon, we’ll consider a postponement, but, really, people, we’re Yankees and we all live fairly close by . . . If Donna and Matt can make it from MA, shouldn’t we be able to?
(And, if the weather turns that bad, I’m betting we can put D+M up for the night too. My Dalmatian hardly ever uses her dog bed anyhow.)
December 18th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
Ahem, we’re not all Yankees. Some of us are from the OC.
December 18th, 2008 at 11:33 pm
ok, so i am ‘from’ san diego, and i am still willing to drive to watertown and sleep in a dog bed, guess i have been a yank for too long…ahem
December 19th, 2008 at 1:01 am
@David: No need for apologies.
@Donna: Sleeping in a dog bed is not too bad! And she hardly even nibbles on her chew toys, so they’re pretty fresh, if you feel the need.
