CrabApple Forest |

BigCrab here - There are two of us involved with this project at the moment.  I’m the practical, down-to-earth guy. But the person who started this blog, and who will be doing 99.9% of the writing is, shall we say, a bit more open to flights of fancy.  He writes, I proofread (and then yell at him for misusing and abusing apostrophes).  I can try to make his writing more grammatically correct, but I can’t improve upon the content.  Thus you may, from time to time, see the sort of perversity that follows. I’d like to know where he’s getting whatever Apple Juice he’s drinking when he writes this stuff, because I want some!!! Oh, he starts out okay (if you don’t mind be talked to like a child), but by the time he gets to talking about me in the third and fourth paragraphs, I know he’s been hitting the hard cider. Trust me, I am NOTHING AT ALL like the way he describes me. And, I live in the real world, not some enchanted orchard.  But I do come and visit him every so often, and the men in the clean white coats are kind enough to pass along the crumpled slips of paper containing his notes and ideas, some of which are expressed herewith…..

We decided to open the Orchard of Wisdom because we believe that the tree of knowledge belongs to everyone. But, here in the real world of CrabApple Forest we know that every good Apple comes with a price. You must carefully pick the good fruit to fully enjoy the sweetest Apple of them all, the Macintosh.

We have a whole orchard of Apples but unless you know how to pick and choose the right ones you may take a bite and get a VERY sour, bitter mouthful.  Trust and believe I get an earful from BigCrab every time he takes a bite and gets a sour one! He gets so crabby that he storms around the forest making sure EVERYONE know where the bitter ones are. Many people who don’t know BigCrab think that he is just mad at the world all the time. But, that’s not true. Not everything is as it seems here in CrabApple Forest.

The truth is that even though I run the Orchard of Wisdom day in and day out, BigCrab started eating the fruit first! When he took his first big juicy bite of that sweet Macintosh. and tasted the pure perfection of the Apple, he was hooked for life. The next day was a different story. You see, that time he got a nasty bitter taste in his mouth. From that day forward he was committed to let all the newcomers to the forest know where all the bad Apples were. So, if you see or hear BigCrab during your visit here to the Orchard of Wisdom and he is yelling and waving his arms don’t be afraid. BigCrab is just trying to keep you on the path to the Tree of Knowledge. He may seem a bit gruff or odd but really he’s just trying to help you so you don’t have to suffer that bitter taste in your mouth from getting a bad Apple.

I will share with you at a later date how my partner BigCrab and I ended up here in the CrabApple Forest. It’s been a long jorney and it is far from over.
