How To Cope



It has been brought to my attention that there may be quite a few people slipping deep into depression ever since my last posting. When one comes to the realization that he/she will never be a Crum, or perhaps will not always be a Crum, this can be a very traumatic experience. Imagine going through life as Pete Thorton, knowing that you can never be Macgyver.

There is hope! Do not despair! I've already exceeded the allowable number of exclamation points in one blog!

The answer to all of you non (or ex) Crums is this: Hang around a Crum. It's amazing how beneficial just a few minutes a week with one Crum can be. Those of you who may be in the Tampa/Valrico area can't escape the positive energy created by this phenomena. Whereas anyone so unfortunate to be in Burma at this time would have to come up with creative ways to hang around a Crum (email, telephone, pen-pal, airplane ticket to Tampa). Pete Thorton didn't dwell on the fact that he was and always would be Pete Thorton, he just was happy to be Macgyver's friend.

On a seperate but related note, if certain Crums use certain words like "megalomaniacal", which other Crums have to look up in the dictionary, please just post a short defenition so as to save time. Thank you.

Dear Crum boy I do not know,
I admit that I am not a Crum. However, I have been around many Crums in my life and I am going to have to disagree with your posts. Being around the Crums doesn't make me happier, it just makes me hungrier. Imagine the cruelty of your name. The Crums...well where the heck did the rest of the meal go? There are so many of you crums but there is no substance, no meat, no cookies, nada!
Now, I do sympathize with you since you have had no other experience being anything but a Crum. So I would recommend that you open your eyes to a new world filled with more than just Crums. We are out here and we are awesome, too. Although, I'd have to admit that the addition of Michal Crum does make your family a little bit cooler (balances out Ben's lameness).
Until we meet

Denial.

too bad there's no one to balance out my "lameness"

Lauren said...

Yeah, Jon, you really weigh the family down. I think it has to do with your height...or the fact that you talk all the time. Ever joking

at least there are some mixed breeds, some "Cromberts" in this world.

Benjamin Crum said...

NO. You are wrong. There are no mixed breeds of Crum. You are either a Crum or you are not. Thanks for playing...

Do I count as a Crum?

Jim,
I designate you an "honorary Crum", but there are dues to pay.
