“‘Fried brains’, don’t knock ’em ’till you’ve tried ’em.”–Hannibal Lecter’s Southern California Cuisine.

Credit: Jerry Hairston Jr.’s comment on how the “neighborhood play” has fried Angelenos’ brains.  Another commentator, perhaps John Hartung, asked Jerry to soften the term “fried brains”.  I agree with both the request and Jerry Hairston’s response: “[It’s like a reverberation that pounds on your ‘head’ because it doesn’t make sense. aka ‘mindf***’ or as the robot from Lost in Space used to say, ‘does not compute’].”
