Subject: Improving your brain power From: Davey Date: 20 Oct 99 - 12:22 PM A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo, and when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole keeps improving by the regular culling of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can operate only as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills off brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of wine and beer eliminates the weaker cells, constantly making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
So.... on to the tavern.... *Grin* :>) |

Subject: RE: BS: Improving your brain power From: KingBrilliant Date: 20 Oct 99 - 12:28 PM Yes, but my head's got no baby buffalos & hence I think drink will merely hasten my extinction. Oh sod it - pass the bottle. Kris |

Subject: RE: BS: Improving your brain power From: sophocleese Date: 20 Oct 99 - 12:29 PM YES! YES! YES!! I knew that there was perfectly good reason for drinking, apart from taste. Ahhhh, thank you. You notice that all of those drinking games that you can do , caps etc, are all created specifically to exercise the brain and shake out the weakest cells faster. |

Subject: RE: BS: Improving your brain power From: Melbert Date: 20 Oct 99 - 02:29 PM If you MUST drink the stand up while you're doing it. Because when you've had a drink it's much easier to sit down if you're standing than it is to stand up if you're sitting! Personally, if I have just one drink, I don't feel it. If I have two, then I start to feel it, and if i have THREE, then ANYONE can feel it! |

Subject: RE: BS: Improving your brain power From: Date: 20 Oct 99 - 03:50 PM Yeah, but C2H5OH makes those cells weak too, and the end result is a body with no brain left. |

Subject: RE: BS: Improving your brain power From: Little Neophyte Date: 20 Oct 99 - 04:06 PM Lets get back to this buffalo scenerio. "Slow and weak ones killed off first" well, that's kind of close to small ones too, isn't it? Would this be applicable to being a Mudcatter????? I've often wondered about this. I always reply to the trivial threads, never contributing to the vast depth of music knowledge. I feel so easily expendable. Little Neo |

Subject: RE: BS: Improving your brain power From: MMario Date: 20 Oct 99 - 04:45 PM Little Neo - I think your contributions here are of quite a large size. |

Subject: RE: BS: Improving your brain power From: T in Oklahoma (Okiemockbird) Date: 20 Oct 99 - 04:57 PM If the nameless participant doesn't want to get into the spirits of this thread..... .....then there's more spirits for the rest of us! I know, it's pretty lame. Little Neo, youngsters like us (or like you, anyway--I may be expendable) are analagous to the calves who are kept to the middle of the heard. Even if we are smaller and weaker, the older members protect us because they know that there'll be no posterity without young folks to hand it on to. That's IF we are smaller & weaker. You, at least, are a good strong 'catter. T. T.

Subject: RE: BS: Improving your brain power From: Little Neophyte Date: 20 Oct 99 - 05:16 PM Why I guess your right Mockingbird, never thought of it that way. I am a healthy calf, strong and well nourished. Thanks MMario, I try my hardest. I guess after a few years of studing the Mudcat Archives, I'll bulk up on my music knowledge and trim down on the insecurities As for the booze, I'll pass, it interferes with my studies Little Neo

Subject: RE: BS: Improving your brain power From: MMario Date: 20 Oct 99 - 05:26 PM That's why I like virtual drinking, all the savour with none of the side-effects, well, except lack of sleep... |

Subject: RE: BS: Improving your brain power From: Jeri Date: 20 Oct 99 - 05:33 PM Little Neo, sometimes the smaller buffaloes are quicker and cleverer than the big ones. We're more like elephants around here anyway. Elephants join together to protect the less strong members of their herd. I've been thanked for helping folks, but I don't really know much compared to other folks around here. You never know when you might have some piece of knowledge that others lack. Nobody ever gets into trouble around here by trying to help. I enjoy reading your posts no matter what you write about. You're kind, and often make me think. |

Subject: RE: BS: Improving your brain power From: Little Neophyte Date: 20 Oct 99 - 06:02 PM Wow Jeri, what a complement, thanks!
MMario, the virtual tavern doesn't seem to do it for me. I went there once. I couldn't reach the stool but I still tried to order a glass of milk but it took forever until someone noticed me, the dog sitting beside me got aroused, thought I was it's mate and don't ask........, they put me in the garden to sleep and I found it extremely cold, uncomfortable and lonely and it wasn't until Catspaw noticed I was in the Tavern Thread did I get any attention and comfort. Nope, once was enough for me, thank you |

Subject: RE: BS: Improving your brain power From: Little Neophyte Date: 20 Oct 99 - 09:07 PM This is a public apology to MMario. For it was he/she/it? who brought me my milk in the Tavern and it was MMario who tried to get the dog away from me. Forgive me MMario. I forgot and do apologize. Little Neo |

Subject: RE: BS: Improving your brain power From: Escamillo Date: 21 Oct 99 - 12:46 AM Now I realize why some old professional drinkers do the strange ceremony of shaking violently their heads, accompanying the movement with a loud "BBBBRRRRRRRRRRF!!" from time to time. They are just helping the process, by letting those weakest neurons to drop off the brain and then be wiped out through the alcoholic system.
A Heineken for me, please..
