This is your brain on alcohol

"Low to moderate drinking may cause a loss of brain tissue in middle-age people, a study found."

http://www.cnn.com/2003/HEALTH/12/05....ap/index.html


I would like to assure all of you that my drinking is neither low nor moderate, by my or any other definition that I am aware of, so please don't worry about me losing any brain tissue. It is those sissy casual drinkers who need to worry.

Fuck you. All you did was collect the data, dickhead. I'm the one who figured it all out.

They don't have to be perfect demure little ladies all the time. Constant pink-ifying and frilling--I don't think you're inadvertently going to raise a burly mustachioed linebacker if you actually let the girl wear a primary color. Even blue!
Exactly. There is nothing worse than the "helpless female" which is what these girls grow up to be. My car's making this funny noise, could you please charge me double what you'd charge a mechanically intelligent person to look under my hood? (no double-entendre intended)

Give the girl some tools next time and see her beat the crap out of her brothers. Or her parents.

Of course, my only motive in playing w/GI Joe was to hook him up with Barbie, so she wouldn't be stuck with that lame-ass Ken. And my Barbie CEO play was stymied by the lack of an appropriate briefcase or business attire. Pink plastic and gold lame just did not provide the requisite credibility.

Exactly again.

Ken is a true wuss, even little girls know that. But they market him that way. You'll see dentist Barbie next to Pizza Hut Ken, what the hell is that all about? Barbie gets a Porsche or Corvette, and Ken gets nothing, not even a Hummer.

I think you set this up, but anyway...

it is difficult to give Ken a hummer when he has no penis.

I recently heard an interview where the daughter of Barbie's inventor, who based Barbie on her, said that Mom based Ken on her brother. So that would explain the utter lack of sexual chemistry. Of course, Ken's dressing like Greg Brady never really helped either.

And Barbie's hands could hold GI Joe's AK--bonus.

Ummm, not quite. If you read the story on the AP wire, the author got it right when she said:

"Heavy drinking is known to raise the risk of both brain atrophy and stroke"

Sir. I spent Twenty Years on an Island in the Baltic Sea, staying up all Night to make Many and Sundry Observations, without which you could not have proposed your New Theorems. A Little Gratitude is in Order.

Four Danish Astronomers walk into a Bar. Says One, can I buy the First Round? Say the Other Three, in Unison, "Round? No -- Epicycles!"

Trust me, it's funny if you can observe it within two Arc Cycles.

Don't like that one? How about this:

Why doesn't Texas fall into the Gulf of Mexico?

Because Oklahoma sucks!

FWIW, I think this exchange has been hilarious.

(But then, I like Monty Python, too, so this may not mean that much.)

From the Toy Timmy:

No "Real American Hero" would ever use a Kalashnikov, unless he pried it from the dead hands of his commie victims...

More likely an M-1 or an M-16...

If you're immersed in the tax code as I am today, this may actually be a huge bonus.
