Brain Dead

Tom Robbins, the writer, says he finds sentences the most interesting thing in the world. My question is, when will Bush and Cheney get theirs and how long will they (the sentences) be?

RTGFKAR says that eating raw vegetables will give you cancer. He says "ask anyone who has cancer if they have eaten raw vegetables and they will tell you yes. So there you have it: raw vegetables = cancer."

With baseball season plodding along as it always does, and football season still a few weeks away, I have been contemplating starting a fantasy synchronized swimming league. I like those underwater shots of the legs pedaling away.

The creative part of my brain - admittedly a small part - is in a coma. My other brain parts, family and friends of the creative part, are standing by in silent vigil hoping for a revival. It doesn't look good though, the creative part just lies there staring at the ceiling, unmoving, no signs of life evident. Some of the other parts, tiring from the long wait, have gone out for a couple of beers, while others work on, keeping the body from going limp as well. The medulla oblong gotta do something but I'm not sure what. Frontal lobes dully. The matter that matters remains comatose, unable to crank out an original thought. Extreme measures may be called for. An intravenous scotch drip stands at the ready, but the decision making brain part says "not yet, not yet, there is still hope." Only time will tell.

Indeed--your version of braindead is better that what most people call thinking.
