This Time, Albert Has Gone To Far!

While Fred was taking a nap in the frontal lobe, Albert streamed an urgent suggestion into Brain's neural feed.

It read, "If you really want to succeed this semester in class, leave everything non-essential at home. You won't need any DVD's, video games, magazines, or regular clothes. You'll be busy studying for your comprehensive finals, teaching, and studying. It's time you became an adult anyway."

Quite to Fred's surprise, when he awoke from his dream about opening all the Ziploc bag's in Brain's freezer, Brain was driving away from Texas with hardly anything in his car. Where were the season's of Buffy the Vampire Slayer that had kept him company all those long nights at the dorms? Where was the Playstation 2 that befriended him when no one else would?

"This time, Albert has gone too far," yelled Fred as he punched the outer membrane in anger.

Albert quickly slashed into the neural network and sent a rather different urgent message through the neural pathway. "Stop in the Best Buy in Norman and buy season one of Doctor Who and several dvds, and it wouldn't hurt to rent some martial arts films once you reach Edmond."

Helpless to the messages that come in, Brain complied by quickly spending over one hundred dollars on DVDs he didn't know he needed, completely defeating the purpose of leaving everything at home.

It was long until Brain found himself watching DVDs and buying new clothes in his dorm room rather than studying, preparing to teach, or doing anything productive at all.

Albert was unavailable for comment at the time of this writing...

Hello everyone,

Perhaps this is uncessary for the blog world, but I just wanted to point out that I've noticed the possesive ('s) where plural (s)s should be.

Also, Fred (not Albert) was the one who slashed into the outer membrane and sent the second message. I will certainly proofread my posts more carefully in the future.

hahahaa... oh man, i was getting confused.

or i was questioning albert's role here. if he is so easily swayed to change his mind then surely fred would stomp him out for good.

what will happen next... more overspending? more outer membrane slashing? what will happen to the zip lock bags? and how did they get into the brain???

this is getting good.
