Must be bad for your brain trawling google for beer pictures. Is that you in the Santa costume with a red light sticking out of your head?

Sould we ask for beer or hard liquor?
Easy question! -- "both!" We'll just have Three experimental groups: one for blitz chess, one for beer, and one for hard liquor. The control group will just watch a 5 hour film of the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. No, wait. That would be a Fourth experimental group ... so now I have a new hypothesis: subjects in Group Four will experience the most brain rot.

That wouldn't give me brain rot because I would be quite happy watching Pippa Middleton.

That has to be the worlds smallest bird, like 1/4" tall.

Great song!! I remember those little 45's -- they were all we had to listen to when we were kids, but we liked 'em. Our parents all had big hi-fi's and we just had these teeny-tiny record players -- but we Liked 'em! And all of our itsy-bitsy records had "B" sides that were never as good as the "A" sides, but -- well, I didn't really like that part. So I stopped buying tiny records and started playing chess, because I thought chess would be good for my brain, but now I wonder if my chess games really Are good for my brain or do I play 'em just because I Like 'em? (See how I brought that back around to the topic? I like it when I do that.
)
45rpm singles had more substance than i-tunes "download". They were good for the brain.

I forgot what ellipses were .... so I looked them up ..... turns out they're "a set of dots indicating the omission of a word or words that are superfluous or able to be understood from contextual clues"....... so what's an ellipsis? .....
