My apologies to anyone who watched Rock Star last night based on my post yesterday. Alas, they are using the AI format. I will now tune in only for those shows that are catch-up-on-what's-been-going-on-in-the-house shows. Maybe the Monday night shows will be watchable.

But take comfort that it's not the cocktails, just that you're getting old. There's a reason that IQ tests are only considered useful for children.

The process seems to be accelerating. Lately I've been mangling words while speaking, saying things like "funcony cumption" when I meant "company function."

I still can't complete a single logic test on an LSAT. I just answered C for every one of those questions.

Don't feel bad. Everyone slips over time. Recently, I have been misspelling words and even misplacing apostrophes. It's like a part of me has died. I want to blame the hormones, but I know it's just the inevitable decline of age. {sigh.}

I watched a few minutes of it. I saw part of the red-headed chick, the thin blond guy, and Daphna. Did any of them get eliminated? It wasn't as cringe-worthy as I'd feared. And even if it was AIish, at least it wasn't full 3+minute songs. ...Those INXS guys are showing age, but they were pretty amiable.

Much, much better was Rescue Me.

Hell, I'm dumbest, and even I qualify.

I'm in on every IQ test and the SAT, but I'm disqualified on the LSAT. Do I get in with a * next to my name? Or is any one qualifying score sufficient.

Perhaps if I read the entire page, I could find out on my own. Perhaps this is why I did not qualify on the LSAT...

All you need is one. Only you will know.

You only need one qualifying score. Do it. The newsletters are fucking riveting.

I qualify from my LSAT score - by a wide margin (thank you, thank you). I wonder, though, if complete inability to recall one's SAT score is a disqualifying factor.

I am also disqualified on the LSAT. Now you all know why I didn't get into Penn.

I'm also disqualified on the GMAT. I scored in the 98% percentile for verbal, but like the 50th for math. I had no idea how to do most of the math problems. It is a miracle I got into business school....

In a book I've pimped here before, The Know-It-All: One Man's Humble Quest to Become the Smartest Person in the World, the author attends a Mensa meeting. I will pay your membership in Mensa if you promise to go to the meetings and report on them here.

Oh, I don't feel bad. I've waged a war with my damned brain for years. Its a resilient son of a bitch, but one of these days, I'm going to pummel the fucker and slip into a silly blissful contentment of upper middle class cluelessness. I want to float around in my SUV, unaware of anything but the groccery list and next month's trial. I want to get numb enough to enjoy golf... Like Chevy Chase said in Xmas Vacation, be "The hap hap happiest [motherfucker] since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye! ..." There's much work still to be done... I've got the bastard on the ropes, but he's holding on like Tex Fucking Cobb. Fool. He can't beat the good people at Stolichnaya. Not since they've invented that dastardly Vanilla variety... Nothing is tastier than fine lox and ice cold Stoli Vanilla. Cleanses the palate like nothing else.

Um, some of us are not qualified based on any of the many standardized tests we have taken over the years, and therefore are really not that interested in learning who here is a Mensa candidate and why. Can someone IM me when the part of the day where we compare our LSAT scores is done?

Elimination is tonight, I believe. They will say who the bottom 3 vote-getters were, then those people have to perform an INXS song for the band guys and Dave, who will eliminate one of the three.

So, just now there was the daily discussion of "what's for lunch", and someone suggested a local place. Alpha Male #1 remarks, "Eh, I think I'm boycotting that place." A couple of the other guys asked why, to which AM #1's response was, "It gives me loose stool."

When I suggested that might be a little TMI, he replied, "What? You'd rather I said diarrhea?"

My suggestion of "It doesn't agree with me" was not popular.

I know someone who's getting a girly-song CD with a big pink bow.

Flinty?

What was your lo-berry ranking?
