Croten
Get the Croten mug.
cronenberg
(noun) A twisted mockery of a human being. Distorted beyond all recognition but still retaining enough human qualities to suggest a human origin. Often a result of a horrible virus or malevolent alien entity attempting to create a human race in it's own sick image.
Oh man, ever since those huge worldwide explosions a couple years ago, there sure are a lot of cronenbergs lumbering around.

David Cronenberg
Probably the smartest film director alive. Made horror films in the 70s and then started making his unique "Cronenfilms" in the 80s. The formula is: show really fucked-up stuff in a really neutral way. Classic example: The scene in Videodrome where a guy grows a vagina-like stomach slit and then pokes around in it with a handgun while the camera just watches, like it's an instructional film ("What to do with Your New Organ"). The main rules of a Cronenfilm: Don't judge, just show. Don't make it exciting, just make it weird. But show what's really going on, even if it makes no sense. Best films: Scanners, Videodrome, The Fly, Crash, Naked Lunch, A History of Violence. Has been a huge influence on: horror movies (esp. the Ring movies) and sci-fi (esp. the Matrix movies). Best time to watch: drunk/high, or in a mood to think about weird shit. Worst time: when you're in the mood for action or romance.
Dude, that scene in the Matrix where the bug crawls into the guy's stomach? Totally David Cronenberg.

The Ring was trying to be David Cronenberg on crack.

Crotone man
An overrated Portuguese footballer that loves scoring against Crotone. Legend has it he once jumped three metres high just to score against Crotone. He would fight anyone who dares to take Crotone from him.

Croton-on-Hudson, NY
A small, tight-knit community in Northwest Westchester County, NY, population 7,606 (2000). The village was formerly an idealistic communist stronghold, but has since devolved into a hamlet of bourgeois consumers, driven by false needs. The families are quite diverse with about 10% being gainfully employed intellectuals, artists, architects, and musicians, 10% bankers and attorneys, 25% NYC cops, firefighters, and MTA workers, 35% unemployed, middle-aged writers, software geeks, and rich lesbians who lie to themselves about "working at home" or being "self-employed." About 20% are retired, just plain lazy, or various Latino minority working in the landscaping business. The architecture is somewhere between late 19th-century Northeast and 1950s trailerpark. The hodgepodge of styles is a visual abomination and only a catastrophe at the nearby Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant will save it. The village's main industry is parking, given the 2200-space lot at the MTA train station. The second largest industry is aluminum siding. The children of the village are all taught to love one another and sign meaningless pieces of paper pledging to "be nice" or to "not do drugs." However, they begin to smoke marijuana and drink Bud Light in the 8th grade. They love to hang out at Power Lines and generally waste their precious time. Sports are big in the area, with all manner of athletic diversion taking the place of academic achievment. Many youth pretend to be thugs, though they have no real knowledge of African-American culture other than what they glean from MTV Cribs and Chapelle's Show. No one in the village really gives much of a fuck about anything, which, according to most analysts, make it a dope place to live.
The reason I moved to Croton is because my husband can commute 45 minutes into the City, I can stay at home volunteering at the food bank, and we don't have to mow our lawn.

Crotonitis
Definition: Crotonitis is a degenerative mental condition common among males, and is especially prevalent around high school age. While it is not “life threatening”, it is considered by many experts on the subject to be a “life wasting” disease because while it doesn’t shorten lifespan, it may significantly reduce the quality of life lived. Common symptoms include laziness, atrophy of muscles, and frequent desire to talk about how tough you are, without being able to back it up.
Cause: No one single source can be pin pointed as the cause of crotonitis. However, it is believed that some major causes include the “everyone is a winner” attitude, first popularized by the hit television series Barney & Friends in 1992, and the ability of youths to talk trash to each other over Xbox Live while knowing that they will never have to actually confront the individual they are talking trash to in person.
Cure: There is no cure to crotonitis that can be purchased over the counter or prescribed by a doctor. The only known effective treatments involve hours of rigorous training each week over the course of several months or even years, to the point where significant amounts of sweat and/or blood may be lost.
