I've often wondered if Texas has more idiots per capita than anywhere else in the U.S., or if the extremes are simply more pronounced. Anyone seen a study?

"Food allergies have only the symptoms I personally have experienced and there are no other kinds of food allergies that might have different symptoms" and OddTodd:

Tonite the tv told me about chronic fatigue syndrome. In the past, some dude with chronic fatigue have had a tough time like extra- cause other dude would be like, 'Dude! That whole chronic fatigue thing is in your head!' And the CFS dude would be like, 'Dude, I'm seriously fatigued for reals.. don't tell me it's in my head, dude!' And other dude would be like, 'Dude cut the crap with the chronic fatigue thang... whatever with that, dude.' But now doctor dudes have identified chemical imbalances that are consistent with dudes (and chicks) with CFS and identified genes or whatever. So now CFS dude is like, 'See dude! See!? Doctor dude came thru! Now get the hell out of my house... you tired me out with your doubt, dude!'

Not that I'm trying to imply that everyone is fat because they have bizarre food allergy (just like not everyone who complains about being tired all the time has CFS).

Alright, I'll make the obvious joke --

Has Yahoo disclosed yet whether this guy's name is Kelly Tripplehorn?

Oh how the mighty have fallen...

I dunno about the per capita thing, there are a lot of people in TX (I mean, if you had the same percentage of idiots in TX as in CT, you wouldn't hear about the CT people much because who wants to live there, plus the ones not in Hartford would buy off the papers so it wouldn't get reported)

BUT

I blame it on unnaturally low taxes, which leads to a crappy environment which causes brain damage and crappy schools to fuck up people who somehow managed to avoid the brain damage.

I liked this one recently --

Sorry no fact yesterday. I didn't like TV yesterday. And TV didn't like me. Words were exchanged. Some things we said that we both regret. Everything is ok now but it took all day to sort it out.

As I said, always funny. I have a Jon Stewartesque crush on Odd Todd (NMT, but willing to think about it anyway).

Not mean (or even worse, wounded) and puts ball squarely in her court. If she wants to go out with you, she will. If she doesn't, what difference does it make if she knows she's letting a good catch slip through her fingers?

I've been thinking about this, and I asked myself WWTD? (What would Trent do?) The answer is . . . don't call. Just wait. And wait. And wait. Eventually she'll call. Even if she's not that into you now, she'll call. Do you know why? Because you're money. You're so money and you don't even know it.

texas's overall population is probably too large to be the per capita leader in number of idiots. if looking at the number of idiots per 100,000 population, the obvious leaders in per capita number of idiots would probably be a jurisdiction with low population. the value of one idiot to the per capita rate is much higher in a low population jurisdiction like wyoming or north dakota than a high population jurisdiction like california, texas, or florida.

as far as per capita leaders, my guess would north dakota, because i think you'd practically have to be an idiot to voluntarily live in north dakota.

Right! Thanks. And likewise.

Also, that episode demonstrated how viciously racist the Japanese could be, even when attempting to compliment Americans. Comments like "I thought we Japanese had the world's most cultivated palates, but this round-eye has really shown us that Americans are not all ruined by pork rinds and cheap beer. Congratulations to him!"

I caught an old video from a band who I think takes the cake for all time best band name: Camper Van Beethoven. That's my entry for the poll: Name the most clever band name you've ever heard.

You will be disqualified if you have to explain any of it. That is all.

OK gang, how much time do you think we adults spend on-line?

July 24 — Teens and young adults spend more time online than watching TV or talking on the phone, according to a new study from Yahoo! and ad agency Carat Interactive. THE INTERNET HAS passed television in the amount of time spent a week, the Web portal and media firm found in a report called “Born to Be Wired” released Thursday. Young people, ages 13-24, spend an average of 16.7 hours a week online, excluding e-mail, compared to 13.6 hours watching TV. After TV viewing, they listened to radio for 12 hours, talked on the phone for 7.7 hours and spent six hours reading books and magazines for personal entertainment.

reality TV a distant memory

I'd say I log closer to 25 hours/week.
