The Theory of Intelligence

I don't think I've ever heard the concept explained any better than this.

'Well you 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. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol 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. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.'

Astonishing conclusion.
Love that loafy rhetoric.

I like to see that someone is still thinking about the important stuff.

A pitch of Bagalaar above you

You realize that you have enough ropes to fix to the ground from Pitch 6, the list includes: Pizza, Beer, water, duct tape, more cigs.

In the middle of ascending the second rope you realize you should have climbed onward with all of that time you spent getting Bagalaar'd at the mountain bar.

Fact: Beer Runs are sometimes necessary to motivate a stagnant wall party.

Cheers my friends...It has been a hellish day as I sit this late evening wondering what the hell is going on...climbing takes you places that your soul craves...a cool one at the el cap meadow lounge and discussion of the days climbs calms the rest of you...
