To me the idea of Crossfit is to be a well-rounded athlete and Cherry Picking workouts is exactly what you don't want to do. So just say No!!!
Depends... are you a pro athlete in training for an upcoming event? It might make sense to cherry pick if the WOD conflicts with your speciality sport. I believe for a majority of people who do CrossFit though cherry picking isn't really helpful ESPECIALLY if you see the WOD and say to yourself "I hate that (insert dreaded movement)... F^@k I'm not going." And I believe unless you are 2 - 3 weeks out form your pro event you shouldn't cherry pick either.
Heh. I'm the other way around. If I see a workout that looks horrible and fills me with dread, I'm more likely to want to see how I do. It's the workouts that I know I can do well at on my own that I'm less likely to want to show up for (which isn't many, so it's not such a problem for me).
Solution: don't list the WOD daily and then no one complains about cherry picking! simple.

I agree with Andy. On the days that I don't want to do the workout - it is even more imperative for me to show up! 1) Because I probably NEED to work on those skills the most and 2) If I don't want to do the workout, I certainly won't want to do it on my own - so doing it in a class, with the community will help me to get through it
