“

The buffalo herd 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. Thus the general speed and health of the herd keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.”

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells, and excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cell first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

That’s why you’re always smarter after a few beers.

Perfect logic from the esteemed Cliff Clavin

“ Obama stopped at the three point line, passed the ball to the new muscle man with the sharp elbows, and put two points on the board instead. I can live with that. And my working class soul is actually looking forward to the populist campaign that will come out of the unlikely alliance of two guys from humble beginnings against the owners of this coal mine called America. Al Giordano on the working class hero choice of Joe Biden as our next Vice President. If you don’t know much about him, and admittedly I did not, this will fill in the blanks

So If Cullen Jones marries Lori “Lolo” Jones…

her new name could be either Lolo Jones-Jones or possibly Lo-Lo Jo-Jo :-)

She’s a beauty and had a heartbreaking stumble while leading in the medal race for the 100m hurdles today.

An Irish Perspective...

We, in Ireland, can’t figure out why you people are even bothering to hold an election in the United States.

On one side, you had a pants wearing female lawyer, married to another lawyer who can’t seem to keep his pants on, who just lost a long and heated primary against a lawyer, who goes to the wrong church, who is married to yet another lawyer, who doesn’t even like the country her husband wants to run!

Now…On the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name starts with the appropriate ‘Mc’ terminology, married to a good looking younger woman who owns a beer distributorship!

Now what in God’s name are ya lads thinkin over in the colonies!
