I was goin' through some old chronicles and enjoyed this one from Friday, April 21, 2006. So, I felt like posting it here:

Came home with a few in me the other night, flipped on the tv, landed at Cheers. Not quite sure of the episode exactly, I passed out........ER........fell asleep soon after hearing brilliance. Yeah, fell asleep, that's it. Cliff Clavin explained the "Buffalo Theory" to Norm:

"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this. 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 group 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. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells 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 always feel smarter after a few beers."

Don't let the legwarmers and big hair fool you, the 80's supplied some great philosophies. Cheers.
