Yes but look at Einstein's take: "The human brain is a very powerful tool. However, it has been estimated (by Einstein) that you only use about 5% of your minds consciously. There is simply too much potential left unlocked within our minds."
I'm sure there is plenty of unused gray matter on 'standby" in most of us to accommodate a non-evasive implant of a state of the art Hasselblad Hasselblad H3D-39II, Medium Format Digital SLR Camera with 39mp Sensor & 3" LCD Display. What the heck.. the components are a mere $40k, while searching for a barber/combo sous chef I found have a great surgeon/combo Mariachi (at night) in lower Nogales that really needs the business. His wife serves the best Gabrito as well ^. PM me if interested

I don't even have enough brain cells to memorize the spec. Mine checked out on the 3rd syllable of Hassel ....
Abby, another one, please.

Welcome
BTW, to go back all the way, you have to start here.
The Unabashed Cholula Spam thread, may it rest in peace, was the original Lounge

Even I had to laugh at this!! Well, not the situation, but MikeMpls came up with a pretty good one! I think mikey1003 will be proud.
I'm hoping to go to the movies this weekend as well. Let's see. The theatre I need to go to is about 15 miles away, so if I factor in snacks and R/T gas.....wow. Not too cheap to see the movies anymore! But I do so love the buttered popcorn at the movies!! Which is odd, because I never never eat popcorn at home. Hmmm. Interesting.

There is less than meets the eye.
Mikey1003 is angry with the people who managed DL 5 years ago, because they changed the rules of the game after dealing the cards. He vents his bitterness by making jokes about Auburn women.
Aucarol likes to play along with Mikey (and anyone else)
Cholula used to work and accumulated hundreds of millions of skymiles, but now he's retired and watches dogs pee on fire hydrants all day.
JFE denies living in a mansion, but people who've visited him know better; especially MYEFRE who fed uric acid to his koi fish.
Scoow has a fifth and sixth sense, and a photograpic memory for anything ever posted in FT.
Lehava used to frequent the lounge, but now avoids us our of concern that Mikey will make Hypothetical allusions.
Traveller lays low because Dovster has the hots for her sister.
indufan knows every bit of trivia about music and weather. You interested in talking about the weather?
tkey75 handles the music here; indufan's knowledge is just theoretical.
Dovster think's its cute to be a dirty old man and hit on every woman in FT, but its not.
Abby can stir up a drink for any occasion, and she can stir up Mikey and Dov too.
Canarsie will twist your words and throw them back at you.
Underpressure is very nice except when he ventures into OMNI, which is FT's sooper secret sesspool of insecurity .
MikeMpls can be relied upon for pithy wry bread.
DLfan sneaks bombs and weapons into the lounge, and iCorpRoadie arranges the lights and special effects to go with them.
GUWonder will just try to confuse you, don't bother wondering about it.
Alysia is the third of the Three Graces here. The others are Abby, Aucarol, Traveller, Scoow, and Lehava.
Cornroaster, monitor, and MRKEY try to keep us straight and decent. Have you heard of herding cats?
vasantn ran afowl of someone, and only remains in spirit; platbrownguy disappeared and left us all wondering... Modapa just got tired of us or of travelling or something, or moved so many times she forgot how to find her way back here.
And Gargoyle is done packing and ready to go out and meet friends for drinks and food in a small town in Tuscany, before hopping back on the PSA-JFK flight tomorrow, so he's gonna leave it for others to fill in the rest of the in-joke explaining (does your room at the ramada have a safe? is it safe).
With regrets to anyone I omitted, but I had a root canal yesterday, a filling today, and only one glass of wine with lunch.
Oh, by the way, was chatting with some guy in a trattoria the other day, he said he doesn't plan to ever fly DL again, so he reached in his wallet and gave me six old drink chits, with a 1995 printing date and no expiration. Are they as valid as Mikey's old miles, or can I drink them?

Scuba Chick, are you going to let Gargle take your historian job?
Come on woman, fill in the blanks. Stand up for yourself. Gargle is on drugs!

Gargoyle is just helping out our Human/Animal Resources department by putting together the employee directory. A thankless task; for which we are all very grateful. Well, maybe everyone but Mikey1003.
What "blanks" need to be filled in? Gargoyle provided a "who's who in The Lounge". (And apologized for possibly missing anyone.) If you need to know "who said what and when", I'm here to help.

He could help out a lot better with the human/animal resources by cooking one of the latter. I'm hungry.

Trust me on this. I am working on it. Isn't it evident? Richard Simmons has a great self help tutorial on gray matter reduction..I just don't want to be a guest on his show as I'd be bombarded with movie offers and scripts to read.

Cowboy: "Hey, cool dog. Mind if I speak to him?"
Indian: "Dog no talk."
Cowboy: "Hey dog, how's it going?"
Dog: "Doin' alright."
Indian: shows extreme look of shock
Cowboy: "Is this Indian your owner?" pointing at Indian.
Dog: "Yep"
Cowboy: "How does he treat you?"

Indian: shows look of disbelief
Cowboy: "Mind if I talk to your horse?"

Horse: "Yep."

Indian: shows total look of amazement
Cowboy: "Mind if I talk to your sheep?"
Indian: "Sheep Lie!"
