Comments on: Neglected Crunches http://hootingyard.org/archives/398 A Website by Frank Key Thu, 23 May 2013 21:32:57 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: John Barleycorn http://hootingyard.org/archives/398/comment-page-1#comment-2840 John Barleycorn Sun, 13 Apr 2008 14:51:09 +0000 http://www.hootingyard.org/?p=398#comment-2840 It is a rarely reported fact that former Beatle and purveyor of mystic wisdom George Harrison was at the time of his death in the process of establishing a Crunch Awareness Foundation on a privately owned heath in Yorkshire. Home office records now available under the Freedom of Information Act show that applications had been made for work permits for seven venerable yogic statisticians from Bhutan, who would lead studies in the Foundation's £3.4 million geothermically-heated Crunch Centre. Alas, key documents had not been signed and spite of the fact that funding had been put in place the project stalled. I believe that there is somewhere an online petition to the heirs of the Harrison estate to re-engage this munificent and much-needed work. The Crunch Centre still stands, warm, dry and unused, its distinctive tri-furcated spire visible from the A59 near Skipton.

Now, I have difficulty thinking of anything else. Alliterative crunches do seem to prevail. Here in North America, people can enjoy the Condo Crunch as a viable alternative to those sated with talk of credit crunch. A number crunch, or number crunching, is also a favourite, eschewing alliteration in favour of assonance. And, if you go into a gym, you can see people indulging in simple and unadorned crunches. And, it seems that if there is enough matter in the universe, time will end with a big crunch, or more alliteratively (as seems to be the way with crunches) cosmic crunch. The world seems to abound with crunches. I have to buy Pebblehead's book. Phil Until I read this post, crunches rarely, if ever, flitted across my consciousness.
