..."but these go to Eleven..."

It has oft been said that there is a very fine line between brilliance and stupidity. Actually, I don't know how often I've actually heard that saying , specifically. To be honest, I think I just made it up. Point is, there are times when you should listen very carefully to those nagging second thoughts that crop up in the back of your mind when an idea strikes your fancy . There are good ideas, then there are times when too much of a good thing is a bad thing.

Examples:

Mud-Wrestling, Brilliant... Clam-Chowder Wrestling, Stupid

Teqilla Shots, Brilliant... Jello-Shots, Stupid

Party Favours from the Dollar Store, Brilliant...Tie-down straps for your canoe from the Dollar Store, Stupid

Having your wife cut your son's hair to save money, Brilliant... Having your wife cut your hair to save money, Stupid

Liquor before Beer, You're in the clear, Brilliant...Cigars and Beer, then Everclear, Stupid

Blowing out your tire as you're heading into the Allagash Wilderness Waterway, turning around and having it repaired as a preventative measure, Brilliant... Saying, "fuck it, what are the odds of blowing out TWO tires on one trip", and keeping on going, Stupid

Doing a Polka version of "Freebird", Brilliant... Putting it on your set-list evry night, Stupid

Starting a potentially funny bit like this in your B'log, Brilliant...

Running out of ideas in the middle, Stupid...

Anyway, watch out for tose nagging doubts, and keep your fly wet.
