Thought you'd like to know that "All In The Family" was rated as one of Mensa's top 10 smartest TV shows. Can you believe that?
Here is the link.. http://thebiz.fancast.com/2008/02/exclusive_mensa_chair_picks_th.html (http://thebiz.fancast.com/2008/02/exclusive_mensa_chair_picks_th.html)

3. CSI -- The way they use science to solve their programs is intriguing to viewers.

When I moved into my house I kept getting all this Mensa mail for the previous owner. I'm not trying to knock any Mensaniacs that happen to be FOT...but it kinda seemed like a pyramid scheme for little geniuses.
I don't know if the previous owners were geniuses or not but I can confirm they were shameless nudists.
-
Where's Head of the Class? Watching people who are supposed to be geniuses make you a genius too right?

When I discovered my 9th grad physics teacher was in Mensa I vowed to never join. And I kept that vow.
Which, honestly, was pretty easy. I suppose they're harmless, but I sort of think of Mensa and big-L Libertarians in the same sense. We have some things in common, but they take themselves way too seriously and they want you to hew a little too close to whatever bizarre line they are walking.

I know a lot of geniuses because a lot of smart people are in my field. There is a huge difference between the geniuses in Mensa and the geniuses with social skills. Based on my experience (n=2), a good brain teaser for Mensa members would be solving the puzzle of what "Get the eff out of my office because I'm working and this has nothing to do with you" means. (hint for any Mensa members reading this: it doesn't mean stand in my doorway and make bad puns until I want to commit felonious assault.) Other geniuses I know can pick up subtle clues like that with no problem.
But maybe you shouldn't listen to me about this because I'm really jealous. I'd trade my sparkling personality for 30 more IQ points any day.

I'm gonna try to get in. Maybe if I have a piece of paper saying I'm a genius I'll feel better about my poor social skills. I'll also have something to lord over common slobs like Julie.

You only have to pass a stupid test, Dorvid. I have no respect for people who can do things I can do, so lording that over me would be a waste of your time. But it might make you feel good about yourself to imagine that I would feel bad about myself because you could pass a test that I passed when I was 12. I was never common enough to need the piece of paper, but best of luck.

Plans for March:
1) Attempt to become the first person to join Mensa out of pure spite.
2) Vote for better TV shows.
3) Have "respect for people who can do things I can do."

what a bunch of dummies. a tv show can't be smart because it doesn't even have a brain. its inanimate. duh.

So you're telling me you passed the mensa test and you passed it when you were just 12? Wowzers! You're smart!

And yet when she calls, she still stutters and mumbles like she has frontal lobe damage.

Oh come on, she's not the devil...

She may not be THE devil, but she certainly torments the hell out of my ears, qualifying her to be MY devil, at the very least. Also, her icon is of the worst part of a dog.
PS: If she is hot, all is forgiven. This applies to all women who want to torment me.

Dude, not to take the wind out of your sails, but I think this describes like 2/3 of the Mensa membership at any given moment.

Go die in a car fire.

It looks like a slobbery tongue to me (with the rusty hair around it), and a slimy wet nose.
I will not go die in a car fire, unless you are already burning in there first and I kill myself trying to save your ass, which will make me a tragic hero, and you a drunken mess who set themselves on fire.
Edit: Jerk.

Good times, eh?

Other than "Cosmos", I'm surprised this genius didn't include anything that was actually, you know, informative or educational in his list of Smartest Shows. Hard to believe that "Boston Legal" beat out, say, "NOVA" or "Frontline".

I repeat:
Mad About You?

Maybe you should try to have respect for common slobs like me who can do things you can't do, too.

That's because I'm socially awkward. And drunk.

I am morbidly obese and have pimples all over my back. I have back breasts. My hair is oily, thin, dull, and straigt. But I do have straight teeth. I love my dog's snout. I hate you. I am going to call as often as I can just so that my voice and stupid way of talking plagues your dreams.
