The 18-year-old beauty contestant who mesmerized the nation with her verbal "brilliance" at the Miss Teen USA pageant over the weekend actually entered beauty pageants to improve her personal communication skills, WND can reveal.

Boom goes the dynamite.
Here in the deep south, we go “down” to everywhere. That’s vernacular, not stupid.
But there's also the reality that such a life surely can't have the satisfaction of working hard and giving to others something worthwhile born out of one's own hard work and sacrifice. That reality also explains the high rate of divorce, drug and alcohol abuse, and even suicide amongst actors and professional athletes. Being a sexy floozy without a brain might bring you lots of money and attention, but it can't bring you true lasting satisfaction.
Ok. Interpret as you wish!
But I think Neal etal had someone a little smarter, a little more machiavellian in mind when they describe the entertainer deceiving the audience...
In this case, it’s more of the windshield toward the girl....
Neal => Neil....oops.
If she would have given a scholarly answer...
Agreed. Very cookie-cutter covergirl look. By the time she’s 35, she’ll barely look better than the retreads on my truck.
Now looks ain’t everything... a certain amount of them can make up for naivete and inexperience. But when this gal runs outa looks, what is she gonna live on?
Maybe by then she will have snagged some dude whose got way more cash than brains and they’ll deceive themselves that they are happy for a couple years till the novelty wears off.
Personally, myself-wise, over the years I have often found myself very attracted by women who at first glance one would not necessarily call beautiful. Most “beautiful” women these days have very little class, or grace, or femininity. About 2 months ago I noticed a woman working in customer service at a store near me.
If you glanced at her and you were in a hurry, you wouldn’t look twice.
If you looked at her closely for ten seconds you would say she looked as good as any other woman you ever saw.
If you looked at her for thirty seconds, you would realize my God this woman is an angel and you’d be stuttering and bumping into things for the next few hours...
So yes, I would like a beautiful woman. She doesn’t need to have a doctorate.
But it would be nice to know she at least could change her oil if it came down to it.
“Some people don’t have maps...”
Do you know what that phrase means down here in the south?
I did not write post #63.
How many football players have a 3.5 GPA?
Did they also mention the classes she took where she "earned" her grade?
I'd be curious to know how male teachers graded her versus female teachers.
Her answer to why 1/5 of American students can’t find the USA on a world map: “I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps, and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., er, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children.”
Her response to what she planned to do after the pageant: “Eat me some hamburgers,” she responded. “I haven’t eaten hamburgers, French fries or hot dogs in three years, and I just want to see what it tastes like.”
Jay Leno has material to mine for at least a year from those two statements.

Oh, good heavens. I can't even respond.
Missed by that much. (Maxwell Smart)
