Following without following: Lemming laws.

What are instincts? How do they define us? Are they learned or based solely on talent? I'd have to say it is a combination of both a learned skill and a natural ability. Sometimes, our instincts take over: for better, or, for worse.

During a recent birthday party scenario, a friend and I were attempting to make our way to the draft house to nosh on some delicious pub-grub when we found ourselves locked into some sort of strange trance.............Game over: Lemming law in full effect.




We only snapped back from our deep REM-like Lemming 'blackout', if I may, when a person in the party we'd followed outside for 6 blocks in the wrong direction reached for his car keys. Wait? What the...no....no we didn't.

"Um, you're not walking to the bar?"

'No dude. We're driving, only enough room for us though."

Feeling like a defeated loser, I tucked my tail between my legs but tried to play it off, "Oh that's cool, gotta love some fresh air, you know? You know? Ha...Ha...Ha...."


'Yeah...' Hops in car, drives way.

And cut, Lemming law in full effect...
