Tammy and Tanya were sultry red headed twin sisters I met at Boyne River, and later they were at my high school, alas not in the gifted program, and I was, so I had no shot. But thanks for evoking that memory.

Translation: I was in the Yale of my high school programs.

I don't get your point. Is it
a) That you were in the gifted program,
b) That because you were in the gifted program, and this was high school, where certain "gifts" were not appreciated, you had no shot; or
c) That you had no shot because of the lack of proximity?

You will note that I did not include as an option, d) That you could or would not take a shot at non-gifted girls. This is because my magical inferential powers tell me that you wanted a shot regardless of their nongiftedness (or nongiftedprogramness). I possess these powers despite not having attended your school, Harvard, although that did not preclude me from obtaining a Mensa membership card.*

*You may infer that I stole this. My choice of words deliberately allows this inference. Alas, I did not learn how to do this at your school, Harvard.

str8 went to Harvard?

I remember the day I first learned of the gifted program. I was in my rooms at Pennypacker. Tanya, my girlfriend, told me about this class full of "gifted dicks." When I appeared sad, having been passed over, she told me "Hank, you've a gifted dick, but you're not a gifted dick- see the difference?"

I have been led to understand from various evidence that Str8 is tall, good-looking, and hung. I would think school name-dropping would be unnecessary. See, e.g., Coltrane.

I only mention that I was in the gifted program all through my school years because I am not hung.

But you do have robust puppies. Which is far better than being hung. Cf., old chestnut ending with the punch line "Oh yeah, well I've got two of these so I can get all of those I want!"

You are correct. You should not have done that.

Worked for me. I have done well picking the big dogs. Tomorrow, we can discuss wild card weekend, since I will be in Vegas playing with real money, rather than my account, which just goes up and down.

Home teams on wild card weekend. Home teams. Especially when the visitors are banged up (Skins), lacking in legit offensive weapons with a playoff virgin QB (Jags), completely inconsistent and not having faced a legit defense in months (Carolina), and/or sporting a QB who I suspect is quite badly hurt (Steelers).

I have a Mensa membership card. I pull it out to get rid of annoying men if the "I'm a lawyer" doesn't do the trick.

Does that mean he donated it?

Doesn't work anyway I try it, colt. You're too long to fit in the box.

I believe the current PC term is "differently abled." It used to be "gifted" or "special" back when Hank was in the program

Could mean it was donated to him.

I will not watch inJustice if for no other reason than the Sarah Maclachlan tune in the promos, even if that choice of music is meant to be a bit of a joke about her having the same last name as Kyle Maclachlan.

I assume they are unrelated. I don't assume I've necessarily spelled either name correctly. I don't care to check either.

I also guiltily admit that I like Gray's Anatomy, despite the grating, trite voice overs by the grating-voiced but otherwise cute (albeit lollipop-headed) lead actress, whose character's heretofore not-so-common name, I will note in an aside that may amuse only me, is sure to shoot up with a bullet.

Ironically, I was actually impressed both by your profession and the fact that you scored in a sufficiently high percentile on a qualifying standardized test.

Sorry I did not get the hint.
