The best part about Crossfit is that they make noobs get their initial beating in the intro class so they don’t clutter up the gym

Mercedes-Benz can spend six years developing one of their cars before it sees the light of day. Volvo spent seven years on just the seats in the new XC90.

Also I saw Aesop Rock touring for his new album and it was a fucking awesome show

BUT GUYS

You mean how they went to the middle of nowhere, not a gigantic fucking city?

Are you surprised? He lost by 3 million votes

They pay their drivers more
