This came up in a conversation I was having with
yossarian, it's straight from his brain in fact, though he gave me the rights to his
thought. When I first read it I was
blown away by the intense
truth to the point that I nearly fell back out of my chair in
astonishment by its utter
brilliance and
potency, and immediately proclaimed that
it would be a great node title! *glances around nervously* But, what sort of
content should this most marvelous of
node titles represent?!
When it was first said, it was in
reference to
baseball and the fact that the
limited joy I get from the sport really isn't worth the
risk of getting hit in the head with a ball, or
even worse, a bat. Of course, this simply is not the only scenario to which this theory can be applied. Here are some other great
applications for this beautiful little phrase of sorts:
- Huffing gas, or any number of substances with hazardous fumes. No matter how fun you might think this will be, the brain damage factor should really turn you off. Then again, if you're considering it, perhaps it's too late for you, any way.
- Wild Sex in a room filled with nitrous oxide. Sure, it might make you giggly and whatnot, but come on, think about it first, would you? Thanks, Picked brain.
- Listening to Storm & Stress. Honestly, it's much fun though you will not escape without brain damage, but it's minimal, so do it any way. Yes, I'm condoning this one!
- Do not try to figure out what your ex-significant other is thinking, this is especially true in my case. You might think it's a healthy and fun way to pass some time, but it's really not, and will cause your brain to explode, nevermind this damage business.
You'll probably have a lot more fun if you aren't worrying about whether or not you'll know who you are in the end. If you just find things to do that don't involve losing
portions of your brain, whether they be large or small, you'll be okay, everything will be alright.. just remember to breathe,
oxygen deprivation causes brain damage!
