Find a word "related" to C R A Z Y

Question

Crazy

The idea is to find an English word "related" to the word "crazy" - adjective

and

write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word..

Example:

My Spanish teacher is crazy..

Mi profesora de español es loca.

Pictures would be nice.

Mariana has kindly agreed to be the “official” corrector of the Spanish

I think I can manage being the “unofficial” corrector for the English, je je

Pues, simplemente un loco o digamos, oficialmente, padece un cierto, nivel de enajenación patologico.
