I better not chew bubblegum and look at that picture much. Guaranteed to bite my tongue or inside cheek. Ouch.
Do not post said picture near ladders. Do not think of said picture near solid objects like walls or posts.

Jolie is timeless. Her being transcends all measures of time and space. She is all things at all times.

I had assumed the "yesterday" comment was a joke, I guess maybe I give people too much credit.

Jolie yelled at me during the Level 1 Cert WOD in Columbus about my air squat being unsatisfactory. It was a moment of pure otherness. You're right Greg she exists outside of time.
Is she yesterday, today, or tomorrow? The answer is, Yes...........
Seriously Jolie great job on a tough WOD. Way to hit it.
And thanks to you and the rest of the crew that taught at the Columbus Cert. It was a great experience.

That was one of a small handful of WOD videos that truly made me shiver. Amazing effort, and props to the camera for putting the viewer "in the moment". I'm rootin for you at the Games, Jolie! Bring the title back home!

Timeless? Seriously? Let's not go overboard. She's a legitimate athlete, for sure! Let's just not get carried away. Can't wait to see what you do at the Games, Jolie. Good luck!
