    I don’t do ads. Seeing them after years of not has a profoundly negative effect on my brain. A slight fog akin to waking up after using Benadryl as a sleep aide, and a hazing of attention capacity.

    I’m not going to pay for that impact on my thinking. It certainly won’t improve the world to have more of it.

      God, I have so many of these annoying catchy lines in my head. If I can’t access anything I’ll just use that Goldberg website to get some classics to read.

        I had those syndromes too, until I have quit doing it

        Stop it, before it is to late! Please, this stuff is poison to your brain! You suffered enough.

          Haven’t seen an ad in over a decade, except by accident, which is jolting. The stuff in my head is from the 90s…

        It’s been a long time, but I remember most of those Goldberg “classics” being pretty short, one-note affairs.

        And then Schiavone exclaimed, “There it is, the spear! This one’s over folks, one, two, three!”

        “If that gentleman needs a chiropractor, my brother in law just set up shop downtown,” said The Brain.
