"So, when you divide
the world into music lovers, music fans and then those people
who are just very casual about their music, it's wallpaper
to them, it's elevator music, it's just the thing that's playing
in the background that helps them through their day."

CHEERS!
It's January 4th's Daily Joke

"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 attrition 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, we all 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."
"This is why you always feel smarter after a few beers!"
-Cliff Claven
