028. Diagnosis

[vicodincrutch]

Doctors who give advice to people going through withdrawals are obvious idiots.

February is a stupid month. I don't mean that based on artificial flavoring and blatant marketing strategy day. Leap year and all that. Screws with the calender and gets in the way of Saint Patrick's Day.

Speaking of which: "Drinking kills braincells."

News flash. Alcohol abuse, we're talking drinking like a fish, full on inebriation regularly, can cause serious neurological damage, like Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Cells injured are dendrites on neurons in the cerebellum, a part of the brain involved in learning and physical coordination. But even in such extreme cases, there’s a lack of evidence that alcohol kills brain cells.

Anyone else have a ridiculous old wives tale? Wait. Don't answer that.

That doesn't mean I'd leave you out.

What is your favorite book?

[lyra-of-dust.livejournal.com]

And I en't sure if even a curse would make that possible.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I could be wrong. You could be an moron or a sadist and enjoy the curse days.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Do tell what you base your opinion on.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

When or where are you from?

Symptoms?

[flash-minato.livejournal.com]

So far I've only experienced one, and it wasn't that bad.

[glock30.livejournal.com]

Like I'd tell you.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Good call.

Oh, I only have two, they were left for me by my mother. One is about a princess under a spell who can only be saved by True Love's Kiss!

...The other is called 'One Hundred Helpful Housekeeping Hints'.

Oh, Jesus, man I've had this thing for over nine years, I'm fine, and my apartment's near vacuum-sealed. Nothing gets in or out, including me.

Symptoms are generally insanity and cannibalism, but I'm just a carrier.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

That leads me to believe that it isn't based on any kind of system. Just feelings which have nothing at all to do with intelligence.

Heaven forbid something get in the way of green beer.

[lyra-of-dust.livejournal.com]

You two have too much fun arguing, and everyone else might be in danger if you worked together.

[glock30.livejournal.com]

It's point-blank knowledge. Men are idiots. Years of observation speaking here.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I'm going to give you a reading list. Read these in order.

The Little Prince
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Watership Down
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
Jane Eyre
Catcher in the Rye

Why would anybody do that to a mockingbird?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

That's like saying "I've been in out on a windy day. Tornadoes can't be so bad."

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

That doesn't say anything. All trees are green. Green has different shades. You don't do your gender justice if you write it off as all are one.

[glock30.livejournal.com]

I never said that some men aren't bigger morons than others. There's different categories and conditions.

I just didn't realize I was gonna be presenting some research paper on the subject when I brought it up.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

No mockingbirds die in the book. It's from a figure of speech. You need to read the rest.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Beer in general.

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

Beer is overrated.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Another fancy cocktail fan.
