You are what you eat
When we started this blog last June - a happy belated 1st birthday to CL:TB! - the question we were asked most often was "Why 'Crazy Legs'?" Now of course, that question has been bypassed several times over by "When are you going to update the blog?", but I digress.
At the time, I wrote an entry about "Crazy Legs" Hirsch, a football legend from the post-WWII era.
What is that, marinara sauce?
However, I have recently been made aware of another claim to the moniker: "Crazy Legs" Conti, a New York window washer, nude model and professional competitive eater. In fact he is the star of the motion picture Zen and the Art of Competitive Eating, and according to the IFOCE (International Federation of Competitive Eating), he is currently ranked #15 in the world.
Don't tell me you're not impressed.
[Note: Be sure to catch him all this weekend during the ESPN broadcast of the Alka Seltzer US Open of Competitive Eating (check local listings). In case you didn't know, eating WILL BE the new poker. Within months, college students and housewives everywhere will be competing in weekly hot dog, oyster or mayonnaise eating contests. Make sure you give me proper credit when the trend hits your town.]
While there is lots of room for other Crazy Legs in the world, I just don't want there to be any confusion when it comes to this blog. Therefore, allow me to state for the record:
A. Crazy Legs Conti, professional eater
B. Crazy Legs Hirsch, former professional football player
C. Crazy Legs Colin, philosopher, infant, all-around great guy
(pictured w/ Mommy)
The subject of this blog appears in picture C.
Hope that clears everything up.

Short answer: We suck.
Long answer: It'd be kind of like that "Everything's OK" alarm that Homer invents when he's trying to become an inventor like Edison. I mean how many times can you say "Today he's eating, sleeping, crawling and pooping"? Plus the full-time jobs keep getting in the way. Stupid economic dependence.
If not satisfied with long answer, see short answer.
