What my plan was when I created the ZOT

I did it at last: I killed the thread. It’s the first time in a while, so why do I feel so bereft? *sigh*

[TheThirdRuffian]

I met my wife because she was a cute cheerleader and I was a NFL football player (for a very short time, thank God).

She’s now a medical doctor, which is a score for a big dumb redneck.

5 daughters later, she’s still 38-22-33, very low body fat.

But she is a work out queen -— and had surgical help, and she doesn’t care who knows it.

She thinks it is fun attracting attention, and I am secure in knowing I can still pulverize anyone who looks too long.

[Monkey Face]

Good for you!

Too many men (and women) find someone they “like,” then try to change that person into something the women (men) were never meant to be. I applaud you AND your wife for being smart enough to work out the kinks! May God always bless you!

We went to the library, and then I tried to get Frank to take a nap, which didn’t go that well. Vlad’s voice could raise the dead ... (but not wake up any male family members other than Frank, of course). Not that they were here sleeping or anything.

Now I’m going to make pasta salad, and if nobody but me likes it, they can go out! On top of life’s other traumas, Frank has decided he won’t eat mush.

[Monkey Face]

Well, darn! Banish the men-folk to Banishment Island, make them eat cake and let them fend for themselfs, Preciouss.

(Lembas is as good a punishment as it is a home-cooked meal!) And have some Restorative! You’ve earned it!

[Tax-chick]

Ah, that’s a vision ... almost as good as sitting on the beach in Anguilla (in the shade, of course) with a Bahama Breeze and a minion to fan me, waiting for my ship to come in bearing Seaman Anoreth with pictures of the Pacific and her patented Attitude Problem.

[Monkey Face]

(We should ALL have some of Anoreth’s Patented Attitude Problem.)

[Tax-chick]

It would make things very interesting.

[NicknamedBob]

"Who is that?"

Dorota Rabczewska. She's a spokesmodel for MENSA. (Seriously, she has an IQ of 156, 4 points shy of Einstein.) I saw her on the cover of the mag.

Well, if she's so smart, why is she in MENSA?

[Monkey Face]

My question, exactly. Every MENSA member I’ve ever seen on the trivia shows (Jeopardy, for one) has failed miserably. I’ve even gone so far as to be embarrassed for their “intelligence.”

Then I remembered that high IQ and common sense do not always go hand-in-hand.

[Monkey Face]

Are you feeling better? If not, have some Restorative, my tab.

[TheThirdRuffian]

“Well, if she’s so smart, why is she in MENSA?”

I assume she wants to meet me.

[Monkey Face]

*choke*

(Laughing, here...)

:oþ

[NicknamedBob]

"I assume she wants to meet me."

That would be a legitimate reason. Not a smart reason, but legitimate.

For me, joining MENSA, (assuming I qualify, anent consider my previous position on this -- I do not submit to IQ tests. That way I can honestly say that my intelligence can not be measured.), would be like joining AARP, (for which I do qualify).

I don't want to be qualified for AARP, and I don't want my associates to be excluded from MENSA. I will choose those from whom I seek to learn, and with whom I choose to associate. I don't need artificial barriers added to my own clumsy social skills driving people away.

[Monkey Face]

And how, pray, tell, could anyone dispute your argument?
I only love you for your mind. I promise. *kof*

[Darksheare]

“I only love you for your mind.”

First thing that popped to mind was “Zombie Dating”.

“But MOOOm! He loves me for my mind!”

Absolutely not dear, please..

“Braaaaaaaains.. Brains. Braaaaains..”

“See! He loves me for my mind!”

It would make things very interesting.

What's she requiring for royalties?

[sionnsar]

She does, certainly, um, stand out. Funny that photo didn’t load at work... *\;-)

[sionnsar]

I took a test privately, back in my college daze. I could have joined. But it didn't look interesting. They didn't have ANY local groups dealing with gallium arsenide semiconductors, CORDIC computational methodologies and their implementation, high-speed asynchronous synchronous digital design, or Иван Сергеевич Тургенев.

So what would have been the point?
