| Crew (kru), n. 1. A sport practiced in rowing boats where the participants willfully awake before dawn and run to practice where they spend one or two hours sitting on a hard wood seat and pull on oars to such a level as to cause their bodies to go into oxygen dept, resulting in the formation of lactic acid in their blood, which causes substantial pain and discomfort in all major muscles groups. This activity is usually performed twice a day in the name of fun, and is conducted under the demonic supervision of a person called "Coach", with the help of his trained servant named "coxswain." | ||||||||||||||||
| IN THE BEGINNING... author unknown And after God had created the earth and all the things were in it, God created man and women. They followed her command and were fruitful and multiplied. Then God looked down upon the human race and sought out four strong humans: tall, lean, well-muscled, but not too bright. These four God called "the engine room" God looked further and found two strong humans with focus and a well-developed sense of balance. These two God called "the bow pair" God sought a human who was steely-eyed, determined a competitor who would never say "die". This human God called "the stroke" One more human God found. An individual who had all the qualities of "the stroke" but one who could also follow and send a strong rhythm and will to those who in turn followed him. This individual God called simply "seven" Now God faced the biggest challenge. God must find an individual who could control and lead these eight exemplary human beings. One who was cocky and confident with a loud voice and dominant bearing. God found no such human being, so God came to earth and took on the role of the coxswain. And the eight human beings declared that the coxswain had a "God-complex" |
