Dudes. If you make it into Mensa, I'll teach you the secret handshake! Just kidding. I'm not in Mensa. I did, however, date someone once upon a time who took the Mensa test. I was up all night with a medical problem that required him to take me to the emergency room until 6 am. The test was at 8. He failed and ruined his once chance to get in. I was sorry at the time, but now I'm glad because he was a fuckwit. So there.
Good luck on the test!
I like the other profound C.S Lewis quote, "Everything in this room is *eat*able. Even I'm *eat*able. But that is called cannibalism, my dear children, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies."
Wasn't that in The Screwtape Letters?
Before the show, I was suffering from pre-mensa syndrome, but I'm feeling better now.
However, I have another bone to pick... Sharon, you told me Lost would be new last night... oh the humanity!!!
krackalackin'!!
I know, JEFF!!! I too was horrified to see frickin football on....It broke my heart, and then to top it off, I knew I would have all you guys shaking your angry fists at me....
PLEASE, if the 70X7 thing applies, use one for me on this.....
I was a true believer myself...
Cella, I am SO happy to see you commenting here!! I read your blog a few months ago and am a huge fan now... It's an honor!
All is forgiven, Sharon. And just so you'll know, I've been searching for a good ringer for my new Razr phone, and I decided on Smashing Pumpkins' "Today is the best day..."
Thanks!
I was amused by the many 'yes'es of Sharon. I didn't know she had so many. "YES!" "eeYEeess..." "yEeess?..."
Guys, you need to get virtual Sharon and virtual Erik up on the site.
Love ya!

NJ Gordon, I'm curoius. Have you ever used that CS Lewis quote in conversation? Could you deliver it with a straight face? What was the response?
Sharon, Golly! Thanks for the warm welcome.
Y'all have active commenters. I have commenter-envy. I shall live vicariously through your comments.
Maybe I'll go comment on my own blog to bump up the comment tally on each post. Think anyone would notice? I could come up with 25 blogger identities and get a real good conversation going. Is that cheating?
And you're so not going to believe this, but the Word Verification doo hickey on this post is making me type "Mensa." weird.
I'm still here. Sorry to if I've been flaking lately but I've suddenly become cool and have been staying out till all hours of the night.
Visit my blog and I'll fill you all in...eventually.
Fancy Geoff
