What is it with these people and their rubber bands? Very into the special <b>E</b>ffects. Re: the lettuce. Last night I made a big salad for dinner, but we added grilled ribeye instead of brains. Much better.<br /><br />The Bug--Back In The Day when I could stand to listen to music in my car (a 1996 Ford Explorer, fully tricked out with a wonderful stereo), we discovered Napster in its heyday. We downloaded a ton of songs, and one was Orbison's "Crying". One of my favourite trax of all time on a certain CD that I called "Sweet 16."<br /><br />Sillyak--I'm flattered that my post was so thought-provoking that you read it, commented, then had to come back again and comment later! :-) Anyway, yes, I think my brain does sort of go through a larval version of PTSD each summer as I de-schoolify.

She then demonstrated this with rubber bands acting as dendrites which she would stretch continuously throughout the lecture. From then on, whenever I needed to impart new knowledge, I would announce that it was <i>La Hora de Estirar las Dendritas (= Dendrite Stretching Time</i>.) This proved to be amusing and even somewhat inspirational until a feckless student announced one day that she was not going to risk stretching her dendrites because they might just snap off and be lost forever... (thus causing her to lose what little knowledge she did have?) I could definitely have used your groovy brain theory.<br /><br />P.S. Can't tell from the photo of Roy, but I'd say Charlie's dendrites are really workin' for him.Ortizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03709991994425909880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-55921169226387152562011-07-07T18:32:21.996-04:002011-07-07T18:32:21.996-04:00Sounds a little like PTSD flashbacksSounds a little like PTSD flashbacksSilliyakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12357513229346986960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-71860537781511014272011-07-07T15:32:35.831-04:002011-07-07T15:32:35.831-04:00I think if he could just sing as well as Roy Orbis...I think if he could just sing as well as Roy Orbison I might like Charlie Sheen again.
