Being A Crum
















Being a Crum is all I've ever known.
Some people will never know what it is like to be a Crum, and that just boggles my mind. It's like never tasting chocolate, or never watching MacGyver. What would it be like to not be a Crum? I've asked several people what it feels like knowing that they are not Crums and probably never will be. I just get blank looks and muddled replies... Exactly!
I even know a few people who started out life not Crum and have since converted. When I ask them what life was like "pre-Crum" they tend to avoid eye contact and try to change the subject. I reassure them that not being a Crum didn't mean there was something wrong with them or anything like that, but I don't think I'm very convincing.
I am relatively new to blogging, so I realize I've already overstepped the depth of your average blog, so I will conclude with on last point: What would it be like to be a Crum and then one day to not be a Crum anymore?

Hmm, I wonder who this "Edwardo" Crum is? Not a Crum I have ever heard of before (check out the bio of Edwardo and see if you can figure it out). Nice post!

Spoken like a true Crum--the most megalomaniacal group of people with whom I have ever been associated. Except maybe the white race.

the scary thing is that a majority of the world's population IS crums, by this point.

you know something...

one day Elisabeth won't be a Crum.

I'm actually scared about that (though we don't have to worry for another thirty years or so), but, like, I don't even know if I'll be allowed to talk to her anymore after that.

Someone should write up some basic guidelines for handling ex-Crums

Elisabeth will not be an ex-Crum, she will be a former Crum. There is a significant difference. Ask any Marine.
Guidelines, however, may be desirable. Jon has been given the task of writing these for approval.

i think that jill will just have her husband change his last name to CRUM. (and yes... the last name will be in all caps)
