Coach Glassman once pointed out that people who do Crossfit are of strong moral character. Let's face it... shitheads don't have the moral fortitude to push themselves to the limit day in and day out. They look for the easy way out in life and that usually means taking advantage of other people. I work as a police officer in Union City, and I live a few miles from the PD and One World. I come across shady people day in and day out. I can go to the grocery store at just about any time and see someone who I have arrested or have had "police contact" with. Police officers spend a good amount of their time dealing with only 1% of society. I am happy to say not a single member of the 1% has ventured through the doors of One World.
We have discovered at One World that you can leave out money, jewelry, watches, cellphones and iPods, and they will always be there when you get back to the gym two days later or two weeks later. There are only two things that go missing at One World on a regular basis: athletic tape (picture above) and my black Wigwam beanies. (I have left two of them on the floor after workouts and both went missing the next day.) The tape I can understand. Some of you overuse tape as much as you overuse chalk :-)~ But the beanie thing I don't get. Who knows where the hell my head has been.....

I STOLE IT...WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT!!!
Posted by: Neil | January 15, 2009 at 23:27

Posted by: Eric | January 15, 2009 at 23:46
let's be honest guys.. I took the tape.. and the beanies..
Posted by: kam | January 16, 2009 at 04:11
I think I saw Steve-o wearing it the other day...or was it Chong. Freddy needs to conduct a who-stole-the-beanie line up.

Those beanies ran off together to make a better life for themselves. I am sure the photo's of their travels will start flooding in...

I would have to second Freddy's statement about the character of the individuals that belong to our box. I left my necklace with my wedding ring on it (bling-bling) at the box over night and it was still there the next day. I am truly honored to be associated with a group of high moral athletes. O'yea Freddy I think I mite have one of your beanies : )
Yoo James, thanks for letting me jump in with the sparring last night, I had a great time. Better look out Macias, I'm for the belt!

JD you did awesome last night in sparing class, glad you had a good time. I have one of Freddy's beanies on my bed, I embroidered it with his name and stuffed it for a tiny accent pillow :)

I don't know how you guys do it as police officers - I'd sign-up if it weren't for that 1% of the population :)

I lost my iTouch when I was just 2 months in to One World. I couldn't figure where the hell I lost it. It had been missing for almost 2 weeks and I the last place I thought I would find it would be at our box. Sure enough it was sitting on the little white shelves right where I left it. I was blown away. That was a clear indication that the people here are genuinely trustworthy.

Hey JD,
We loved having you on the sparring floor! And really glad to hear you enjoyed it. Watching you with Coach James, as well as Coach Antony was quite a sight.
Freddy, everyone,
Have fun and good luck with the Crossfit Certifications this weekend.

Oh yeah . . . almost forgot.
Eric - because we have to give each other grief - you thief! :-)
The water fountain is right by the bathrooms & even then you had to steal a police officer's bottled water.
2 bottles . . . that doesn't absolve you . . . you're still at the bottom of the barrel with guys LIKE ME. :-)

Just trying to help.

strong moral character? what about all the copyright infringement when music is used in the videos? Forget about that?
Posted by: Joe | January 17, 2009 at 16:14
Joe,
Not making money on those videos..... ease up.
