IN CONCLUSION

1. we’ve filled our over-10% utilized brains with some more good

stuff.

2. Pennies, horny vikings, plumetting lemmings, black holes, and

monsters at the end of the world aren’t going to kill us.

3. Sounds like a cause for celebration, and since the liquor won’t

damage our brains, and cooking can’t save us, and we’ve got

an excess of sense, so,

LETS DRINK!
