028. Diagnosis

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.

I meant the drink, and so did you.

I wasn't aware that Queen Victoria was still alive and the Suffrage never happened. So much for the liberated woman talking about sex.

[glock30.livejournal.com]

I didn't realize you were so interested.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

You're kidding, right.

[glock30.livejournal.com]

Maybe.

You're too used to hanging around with members of the YMCA.

[glock30.livejournal.com]

The Young Men's Christian Association or the Young Men's Cowboy Association?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

The one where the men screw each other.

[glock30.livejournal.com]

It's better than hanging around the one where men never screw anything at all and just take out all their frustration by being complete idiots.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Oh I do hate them too.

[glock30.livejournal.com]

Aren't you a member?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Nope. Brad Pitt isn't dreamy enough. And I'm obviously not an idiot.

[glock30.livejournal.com]

I think that's subject to opinion.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Yours?

[glock30.livejournal.com]

Duh.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

How do I measure up then by your scale? You call everyone and their brother an idiot.

[glock30.livejournal.com]

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

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Do tell what you base your opinion on.

[glock30.livejournal.com]

Like I'd tell you.

[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.

[glock30.livejournal.com]

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

[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 man has ever questioned the system?

[glock30.livejournal.com]

I never said that.
