a whole crud of autism

today einstein was having a one-sided conversation (his usually are) about the beatles song "hello, goodbye." he starts singing it:

"you say goodbye, and i say hello. hello, hello.....you know, i think the composer of this song must have been autistic. i mean if you think about it, it's only autistic people that can't really understand social etiquette and such (einstein is openly diagnosed with asbergers, which is a form of autism). i mean, the composer is saying 'hello' and can't understand when someone else says 'see ya later,' so they just repeat themselves over and over again without catching on that the person very obviously doesn't want to speak with him. in fact, i think the composer probably has a whole crud of autism."

"a whole crud?" i ask, interrupting his soliloquy.

"well yes. you know crud is an actual word that is defined as the basic functions of a computer database. (news to me, i just thought it was another word for poop) so therefore his database is full of autism."


ummmmm? does anyone want to alert paul mccartney?

LOL! Nels and I got a whole crud of laughter out of this one! :) When are you guys done with your year there? It can't be too much longer, because I think it was still springy when we visited you last year, right? What are your plans?
