Buffalo Run



I am working out the initial organizational issues for the GLMC's 2012 Buffalo Run Rally.  I'm going to look at a facility later this week with better access and parking.  Hope to have the location details and a hotel block set a side before the Pop Cycle Derby.    We have some great rally ideas floating around and percolating as well.


Cliff Clavin's Buffalo Theory from the the TV show "Cheers" (unrelated to GLMC Buffalo Run event above except that both are about Buffalo):


"Well, you see, Norm, it's like this, a herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.


In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
