re: #109 Fenway_Nation

Heh…I drank a toast to Sgt. Crowley last night (shots of Patron). The thing is, I was born and raised in Western Massachusetts, and when I moved out to the west coast, nobody was convinced I came from the Bay State because of my pronounced lack of an accent. We just don;’t do accents once ya get west of the Quabbin…

I can mimic the Boston accent fairly convincingly, tho’ and did so for my toast to Sahgeant Crowley of the Cambridge Police Depahtment

“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 drinking 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.”
