This is your brain on Blazers
My favorite Republican, David Brooks, reports that somebody found out what parts of your brain enjoy watching your team win. They're called the "ventral striatum" and "nucleus accumbens." You've been waiting all summer just to get that shot to your nucleus accumbens again.

the reward reinforcement pathway
same process as addiction… the more the Blazers win, the more addicted to the Bedge you become…. it’s chronic and progressive and there is no cure.
I did not say this. I am not here.

I like to rub it all over my brain like a steak marinade.

Get buff the BE way!
It has started to feel like an addiction. So now I make myself do 30 curls every time I visit the site. I’m either going to cut back or I’m going to be able use this line: “Do you know a good veterinarian? BECAUSE THESE PYTHONS ARE SICK!!!”
