Kirk works his muscle-up grip while wearing the new CrossFit Watertown “Coach” shirt.
When you step into class now, look for the green shirts! Those are your coaches. Listen to them, learn from them. Green shirts are in charge — everybody else should be paying attention to them.
In other news, tonight’s 5pm class is the Weekly Watertown Smackdown. Come and compete in teams for the beeeyoootiful WWS Championship Belt. Entrance fee: 2 canned goods for the Watertown Food Bank. (Or, bring a case of ramen or something and be paid up for a month of Smackdowns.)
SCHEDULE ALERT: Sat 9am class is outdoors at Veterans Park in Watertown. It’s a free class also, so if you’ve got any friends, bring them! If you’re reading this blog and you want to come try CrossFit, come find us at Veterans Park at 9am by the basketball courts!
Also, it’s Sue’s birthday (Happy Birthday Sue!) and we’ll be gathering after the 5pm. Details in Comments.
Lastly, whatever you do, don’t go here.

Well… according to my sources, there were deleted scenes in Star Trek IV (the one when they time traveled to save the whales) where they took a second trip back in time to the 13th century in order to teach the world Esperanto.
If you think the wacky hijinx that ensued in 1986 were crazy, you would not be able to handle the shenanigans of the Enterprises crew in the year 1203! Side splitting I tell you!!
Anyways, as I understand it, Kirk was teaching Pope Innocent III the universal language, and during the C’s, Spock and Bones got in a big wacky fight full of all sorts of Vulcan racial slurs from Bones and raised eyebrows and logical retorts from Spock! This altercation distracted the Pope’s scribe, who unintentionally wrote “Church” as “Kirk”. You see, the characters of the day were not as advanced as current times, and one little mistaken brush stroke later and we have a new word.
Now Fast forward to the 14th century: a Scottish monk eventually found these writings and began using the term “kirk” for church.
Lis takes the history of it the rest of the way above.
So, uhhh, yup. I was right!
