While I was going to school for art I lived with 2 strippers, a witch, a satan worshiper, a crack addict, a transvestite, a martial arts master who happened to look exactly like Dave Grohl and the pothead son of a banker all in a 3 bedroom dorm at the same time.

Oh now I get it, silly me. A man who says things I don't understand is most likely smarter than I am. May I ask how every Spanish-speaking man seems so smart?

I think I'll call him TJ on a throne. Sounds like a Disney channel movie.
ALChemy on An Allegory to No One by MacFrantic 30 Oct 2005, 6:13 AM
Not really an allegory but I guess No One won't mind that.

Christ, I knew I should have gone to Girls Gone Wild University. Nothing like this happened at Bob Jones.

No perfect rebuttal. Oh, now I have one: You sound kind of sad and boring when you smugly respond with my suggested response. Also, psych - I'm not planning these conversations that far ahead, nor trying to end them quickly. I think if I understood someone's perception about something, I'd think I was at least as smart as that person. If I didn't understand his perception, I'd think I could either be smarter or dumber. And I'd be inclined toward smarter. If it sounds like I'm just rehashing my first comment, that's because I think you didn't get or answer it. PS-It's too late to dodge with 'guys who are smarter in areas'. Stick with your original statement: You prefer a man who's smarter than you. We'll assume on-average smarter, thank you.
Anne Frank's novel?! Are you saying she made all that shit up? If it's lame it can't be a standard novel, same with drivel as standardized education. Standard means acceptable. Who is neutral milk hotel and why isn't he/she or it capitalized? "a feely fraught with emptiness" is contradictory but I'm sure you'd meant to be oxymoronic. Good use of alliteration.

Niphredil replying on brave new world still a bit timid by FreeFormFixation 30 Oct 2005, 2:32 AM
No, he means 'feely' - a play on 'movie', in which the viewer can also feel the sensations that correspond to the scenes projected on the screen. It's a term introduced in Huxley's Brave New World.

Oh be quiet and mix the stuff. I wanna see if it explodes.

It's not very sporting of you to turn the subject of the conversation away from your poem before we get the chance to.

According to Dovina's reply ask them if they would date her. If they say no there's a likelyhood they are one of the smarter ones.

And more like beer and weed and the three other guys and two girls and great dane they had sex with yesterday after a long night of stripping and amatuer porn filming. You might as well start wearing other mens used condoms if you prefer college girls. Your right though. They do have nice teeth.
Dovina replying on I don't rhyme enough, eh? by Niphredil 29 Oct 2005, 12:34 PM
I am astonishingly smart. I always like to start with your suggestion for an answer because you think you have the perfect rebuttal. Makes it more interesting, don't you think? But I'll be honest and say that some men seem smarter than I am in certain areas. I think this because their perceptions in those areas seem better than mine. But the same man can be very silly, to the point of ridiculous, in most other areas. If I knew I was smarter in all areas there would be no point, other than for sex, to talk with him. Frankly, few men stimulate me in conversation.

Christ, this is poorly-worded. My excuse is it's my birthday, I'm 26 and slightly drunk in Muslim public.
zodiac replying on I don't rhyme enough, eh? by Niphredil 29 Oct 2005, 12:08 PM
I have a genuine question: How do you know when a person is smarter than you? I mean, if he says something you don't understand, are you more likely to assume he's talking about something beyond your lesser intelligence, or something stupid and nonsensical? As long as you start with an assumption like "I'm astonishingly smart", it's practically untestable, right?

The metaphor works pretty well until the last two lines.
