  • Your Brain Makes Your Hands Do it

    I can't get to sleep tonight, I've tried. I won't work. Not yet. And all of the lying down grinding my eyes only led to a profound revelation. Please help me laugh at this. I'm back up and trying to document the profound revelation that fell upon me when I was trying to go to sleep but couldn't.

    Your brain makes your hands do what they do.

    My brain makes me light another cigarette and open another beer. My brain makes my hands do it.

    Maybe the brain makes the hands spoon in more food than is needed, a different thing than what I have going on with the beer and cigarettes.

    Great painters, sculptors, artists, their brain makes their hands do it. Great musicians, whatever instruments, same thing.

    Race car drivers, same thing. Builders of engines, same thing.

    Politicians, their brain makes their mouths work. No hands involved, the only exception to my theory.

    But for most things that actually happen in the world, how can you not deduct that the brain makes the hands do it?

    Congrats for having a one sided version of a conversation weed addled freshman college kids have every weekend.

          You know all I really want to know is if they called Jello Asphalt and Asphalt Jello, would we be driving on roads made of Jello and eating bowls full of Asphalt??........

            I've always wondered if our taste buds are the same.........we are taught as children when a food is presented to us, to associate that particular 'taste' to it. But since we are individuals, does what tastes like 'chicken' to me, taste like tuna, to you? Hard to explain this......but the same applies to smells......gettin' pretty abstract here, sorry.

              Ed, my wife still argues with me on the smell thing after I break wind. She doesn't think it smells like roses at all.

                My wife has that same opinion.......but only in regards to certain bodily functions.......

                  So, where do we stand as far as profound revelations are concerned?

                    Well, I've got a few, and I'm not even 'weed addled'.......the first one is this: You, PeeWee, have a knack for opening up threads which at first appear to be just fluff, but they almost always result in some very good conversations. Even on a car site, it's nice to have some 'down home' discussions. We do that in the garage all the time and never think twice about it. IMHO, you should keep it up. Sometimes I'll have some input, sometimes I won't, but everybody here has the same options.
                    And I'm 66. I can't remember the second one yet........
                    Oh......second point: Cars, women, booze, brain vs hands, it all helps us get to know each other in more than one plane. That's a good thing. Now go to sleep, friend.

                        I'm firmly strapped down in my chair waiting to find out what makes the legs "do it".

                          Usually it's a nice scratch on the chest, between the front legs. Sometimes a vigorous one in the flank........

                              Pdub, when I cant sleep I build a car in my mind. Plan out the build, what body, color, engine, trans, gears, special mods, and of course imagine the wheels, tires and killer stance. Then I go about building it, putting the pistons on the rods, stuffing the crank in the block, then shoving the pistons in the bores, install the cam, degree it and make changes with offset keys or with the gears, put the heads on, etc... then start building the transmission, and usually while cleaning the parts for the trans I drift off to sleep to have gearhead dreams of wheelstanding sleepers and naked women riding along with the 5 point covering their bits and pieces.
