A couple nights ago you and.... nevermind. You will find the video on Youtube eventually.

More importantly is if a squirrel falls out of a tree in the forest does the tree laugh.

This makes me think of an experience very similar to this.
Sitting in a treestand some years ago and watched two grey squirrels chasing each other around.
At one point. The chase took them to a dead branch about 15-20 above the ground and it did not support their weight and down they came; one was able to snatch a grip of a branch and slowed its fall. The other was not so lucky, it came down pretty hard and it just laid there for about a minute.
The other came over and started this slow rhythmic chirp that after about 30 seconds, sounded a lot like like a chuckle.
Eventually the second squirrel came to and they both headed off and the game began again.

I figure if the tree doesn't laugh then the wildlife might as well.

Only if the squirrel is fat!

So avoiding the whole religion thing, think about what happens after death. At its simplest, there are two competing theories. Either there is something or there is nothing.

Let’s deal with the easiest question first. Simply put, there can’t be nothing. Why? Because your mind or consciousness or whatever you call your existence cannot record the moment when it ceases to exist.

The major flaw in the Nothing view is they are always considering it from a second party perspective. The second biggest flaw is that regardless of the truth, Nothingism is a losing bet. If there is nothing, they’ll never have the pleasure of knowing, because their existence was snuffed out at death. On the other hand, the Somethingists will never know they were wrong, because their existence was snuffed out at death.

These thoughts are neither deep nor drunken.

The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.

Discuss amongst yourselves...

Why is it that the keg of beer you have most been looking forward to seems to be at least a gallon shy, where the screwup beer that you just want to die seems to have somehow broken the rules of conservation of mass and seem to somehow have expanded the same keg by 2-3 gallons?

 

[mrbrew]

Maybe God consumed your beer.

 

[Subsailor]

If a tree falls in a forest and lands on a squirrel, does the squirrel make a sound?

That's just nuts!

and my wife applauds you, she and squrrels do not get along!

 

[DrunkleJon]

I still blame the penguins. I swear I hear "Dooo-bee do-be doo..." every once and a while

does my beard really grow more when im hungover?

 

[DrunkleJon]

Was cleaning house and buzzing on caffeine and sudafed and the following thought ran through my head. If a kid was to experience the whole drinking experience what would they think about it? My thoughts are that they would especially with the comedown the next day day it is not worth it. They would say that if you want to get dizzy why not just spin in circles outside? and the hangover...

Cookie Monster and Nathan Explosion have almost the same voice. If you can do an impression of one , you can do the other.

Are they the same guy?

Hmmm, come to think of it, I've never seen Frank Oz and Brendan Small in the same room.

The one thing I have learned from from Facebook is that all my Mormon cousins are closet drinkers.

Yes.

 

[McBrewskie]

Maybe not that deep, but I cannot imagine loving my wife more than I do. She astounds me.

Watching Fellowship of the Ring. Boromir carries around a shield on his back for the whole movie. I don't think he actually ever uses it in any of the fight scenes.

Might have come in handy if an Orc were to be shooting arrows at him.

What if we can actually breathe in outer space, but they just don't want us to escape?

 

[CBMbrewer]

Mine right now is; How long would someone have to live before they run out of space for memories? I have seen shows, etc where someone is 'immortal'. If you were immortal, how long would you be able to survive until you would run out of space to store memories/experiences? I know that we do not know much about how the brain works, but still...

I know this is the first post and we have probably moved far beyond this question, but I have to chime in. According to every psychology professor I have had, the human brain's capacity for storing memories and knowledge is infinite. The problem arises from being able to recall the information. Say you see someone you know, you know you know their name just can't recall it. The info is there in your brain, you just can't retrieve it at the time.

Quitting smoking sucks.

It sucks even more when you know there's cigarettes in the home (fiancee says she needs 1 a day to help her digestion). I holding out, patches and (nicotine free) e-cigs are really working so far. This is the drunkest I have been in 2014, but I still haven't cracked. I feel like I just want one, just one! But I know from the last time I quit that that is how I will lose it. I wouldn't give up quitting if I had one, but I know I can hold out right now.

Why doesn't the orange have it's own name? We don't call an apple a "red," or a grape a "purple."

If 1 bean is called a "bean," and many are called "beans," why don't we call many grains of rice "rices?"

If you can dig with a shovel & "shovel" with a shovel, why is it that we "sweep" with a broom, but we don't "broom" with a broom?

Speak for yourself. I broom the hell out of the floor.

Stick with it man! Give all your cigs & lighters away!
Change your routines: listen to different radio stations.
Go to bed at a different time.
Take a different route to work.
And above all else, don't give in.

Hmm, started brewing to save money. That Trappist beer cost me $7 for a single bottle. Ingredients to make a batch would cost about $40. I can make a batch of about 60 bottles of the stuff for that. If I bought 60 bottles of that Trappist beer it would cost me $420. Yeah, that's about right.

See honey! My brewing is saving us a ton of money!

Eating a grapefruit every time you jones for a smoke helped me when I was quitting. That & the knowledge that If I didn't stick with it, I'd NEVER have a better chance to quit. Video games & books helped to take my mind off cigs.
You CAN do it, who is stronger, you or those little cancer sticks?
Regards, GF.

I'm doing good, after today it will be a full week without cigarettes. I am using the patch and an e-cig with non-nicotine fluid (I have 3 nice and fruity flavors that are like hookah).

The times I have the most trouble are late at night after a few drinks. I get bored and just want a smoke so badly. Surprisingly I have even gone out to the smoke shack to use my e-cig and talked to people smoking real cigarettes and not felt the urge.

Basically I am hopeful and so far it seems like I will be able to do it.
