[Mr.Green93]

[BrklynLiberal]

2. ..

:thumbsup:

[cestpaspossible]

3. Just like all the kids in Lake Wobegon

[Onlooker]

4. How come the freepers get the green bar? n/t

[LostInAnomie]

5. I'm the most smart.

Duh!

[LaurenG]

31. Well I'm almost smart. n/t

[zippy890]

6. intelligence is overrated

there are a lot of intelligent assholes in the world

[cestpaspossible]

7. this bell curve has a funny shape

lol

[jpgray]

8. I can barely keep my milk from expiring (nt)

[usedtobesick]

9. We are on DU

where all the men are handsome, all the women beautiful and all the children above average. Or is that someplace else???

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Lake Woebegone, perhaps?

So far, from the picture threads, it sure does look like all the men are handsome, all the women beautiful and all the children above average!

:popcorn:

[trof]

11. I used to be handsome. Now I'm just above average.

Age does take its toll.
And that really pisses me off.
;-)

[merh]

15. LOL - I hope that you had no problems with the storm.

:hi:

[trof]

20. Nah. Just a rainy day. In spite of all the CNN hype.

Saturday morning they even started calling/labeling it "Hurricane" Arlene.
"Expected to go to hurricane strength before it makes landfall."
Wooooo
Poor babies.
They were soooo disappointed.

[merh]

22. Glad she was just another storm

And that you and yours were damp, but safe! :hi:

[misanthrope]

24. More than "just a rainy day,"...

...thanks to the wind (which NEVER blows in Mobile in the summer) and the other meteorological conditions, we had a damn pleasant day. The high was 15 degrees lower than normal and even the rain wasn't very hard.

Normally, our quick afternoon showers temporarily cool things off, but eventually have the effect of making "the great outdoor sauna" even more oppressive.

I wish we could have an Arlene a few times a week.

[Bunny]

33. That's good news trof!

Glad you made it - whew!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Hi, trof....I remember looking at your picture on that Navy website;

and yes, you were handsome! VERY...But I'll just bet you're still turning heads, my dear...I'd love to see an updated photo, if you can post one.

It's true that age takes its toll...so does death...I'd rather be alive and aging, than dead, any day...I feel the same way about you, and many DU'ers...

:pals:

[trof]

32. Sorry, wasn't me.

I was Air force (sort of), not Navy.
Alabama ANG.
Maybe I'll get a scanner?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. Sorry! I've mixed you up with someone else! I guess...

Did you tell a story about being in London when a couple of boys on bikes were terrorizing the pedestrians, and the story-teller caught one of them, and sent him skidding and falling off his bicycle? I thought it was you, but if not, I'm sorry!

:shrug:

edited to add:
You were right! It wasn't you; it was oneighty...sorry for the mixup...

[Redstone]

12. Where does "dumber than a sack of hammers"

fit on your scale?

Or is it actually there, but I'm too dumb to have noticed it?

Redstone

[Left Is Write]

14. Redstone, you may be a lot of things...

but "dumber than a sack of hammers" is not one of them.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. You are most certainly NOT dumber than a sack of hammers!

You are a very bright, sensitive, loving guy, and I am PROUD to call you my friend!


good grief....Dumb people don't talk the way you do, my dear Redstone...

I agree completely with Left Is Write, BTW...

:yourock: :pals:

[bridgit]

18. Redstone, boyfriend has a saying you may appreciate...

"dumber than a bag of wet mice", that's me. he's got a million of them = he's 'country' like that. but i don't have a pic of a bag of wet mice to show you.
:shrug:

[Redstone]

34. That's OK, I've seen a bag of wet mice, so you don't

have to show me one.

Does your BF use my all-time favorite "country" expression (first I heard it was when Rodney Dillard said it): "Slicker than deer guts on a doorknob?"

That one just about sums up the situation, doesn't it?

Hey, didn't you go to Texas or someplace? How was your trip?

Redstone

[bridgit]

39. lol...

:rofl:
i'll bounce that one off his head & see what trickles out. having worked as a pipeliner & journeyman plumber for some 25yrs, he's mentioned a bunch of slick stuff dripping off of door knobs wink-wink. but i don't remember hearing that one. he'll like it
:rofl:

bridgit ~

ps, trip to texas, hm, it's been some time, i used to showcase music groups in austin but haven't been there in years :thumbsup:

[terrya]

13. Average intelligernce, here.

[Droopy]

19. I'm smart about some things and dumb about others

I guess that puts me at average.

[kittenpants]

25. same here... I'm usually a pretty intelligent person,

but there are times when I'm just REALLY clueless.

[Wapsie B]

21. That depends on what intelligence you're measuring.

Everyone has a different skillset. Some people can take tools and wood and make a masterpiece with their hands. Others can build a car engine good enough to win Daytona. Others still are good at helping people through their personal problems.
The book,"Seven Kinds of Smart" covers this well.
Being intelligent depends on your frame of reference.

[BrotherBuzz]

23. I'm so bright my father called me Sun....

:shrug:

[libodem]

26. woo hoo

Most of us are above.....:woohoo:

[cestpaspossible]

27. lol

I write lol more often than I actually laugh out loud... but this time it's true... you should win a webbie for funniest use of a smiley...

[bridgit]

28. "I'm just average, common too...

I'm just like him, the same as you
I'm everybody's brother and son
I ain't different from anyone
It ain't no use a-talking to me
It's just the same as talking to you.

[El Fuego]

29. We're DEMOCRATS. Q.E.D.

[Blue_In_AK]

30. I was in Mensa for a while...

...but got bored with their lack of intelligence. :silly:

[Dervill Crow]

35. I clicked "average."

My IQ test indicates I'm above average, but the fact that I'm trolling DU instead of doing the transcription that I need to have done by tomorrow would indicate I'm a bit on the dumb side, so I split the difference.

[Nikia]

36. I'm allegedly gifted

But it hasn't seemed to help me earn over $30,000/year.

[lumberingbear]

38. Smarter than.....

the average Bear!!!
