    I is smart. :smokin:

    E vero...

    You're smarter. It pisses me off a little.

    Maybe I've acquired just enough education to cultivate contemporary disdain but not enough to fix it or myself...or maybe you just bring out the best in me ;)

    Also, my master's committee shot down my thesis on GTR and David Hume, as well as the title "Does Sasquatch Exist? Yukon Investigations" so I'm relegated to making brie sculptures of Mark Ruffalo--so how smart is that?!!!

    @hannajessica -brains is sexier than boobies!

    @Mavrick - Don't discount those of us who have brains and boobies - we are not forces to be reckoned with!! :wink: (I'm getting my MBA in 23 days and carrying around DDs. Watch out now!!)

    @emmgetsfit- There are far fitter MBAs from top schools here that I know!

    Narcissism.


    However, I'd like to order six.

    @emmagetsfit - Brains and sexy boobies are the best combination. Plase allow me to clarify my statement, as I would prefer an average looking, but intelligent girl over a hottie in the gym (as a long term partner). I have met many beautiful women that are insecure and no common interests.

    @Mavrick - Aaahhh you're prioritizing the wish list, that's totally acceptable!

    You must have a brain. And you must know the difference between their, there, and they're. :laugh:

    I don't believe in being exclusionary. I mean who's to say what's smart, how do you determine other peoples intelligence? But the their, there, they're thing is just a personal pet peeve of mine. :happy:

    @emgetsfit - I find it amusing to read about it, but walk away when they don't get it. Can you image talking to them in person? It would be very difficult to understand what they are attempting to communicate. :laugh:

    "could you please repeat yourself?" or "so, do you mean?...."

    Also then and than make a big difference in what you're trying to convey sometimes. For example: I'd rather eat chicken than be run over by a bus OR I'd rather eat chicken, then be run over by a bus.

    Indeed! I enjoyed the internet meme instructing comma usage via the sentence "Let's eat, Grandma."
