Say what?

What is the nature of consciousness?

Correlation is a measure of the relation between two or more variables.

Either one of the questions above asked in a setting of me and anybody else at all, will without question throw me into a zombie like state. (I'm sorry. I'm really not kidding this time) I am, in fact, simple minded.


My Sister-in-Law is a member of mensa. (for real) Bob also is very intelligent. Which is why when I scored higher on an IQ test than he did, it threw him for a loop to the point that he retook the test. Which I found hysterically funny cuz......I soooooooo looked all the answers up in the back of the book. Yea, that's right. I cheated! Why? Simple. The test was taking too long and Family Guy was coming on. I like Family Guy. It's funny.

I used to be ashamed of the fact that I couldn't follow an intellectual conversation without my eyeballs glazing over. And I'd even try to fake some answers to questions. But as I get older (55) and find myself still liking cartoons, games, colors, and shiny things, I realize....I'm probably not going to get smart any time soon. So I have decided to embrace my dumbness. Just......go ahead and be all the dumb I can be.

Isn't there room in the world for dumb folks too? Really. We matter. Without us, how would you smart folks have anything to measure yourselves by? hmmmmm?

Oh yeah your dumb. You have an awesome and witty web site, you have a talented bevy of beauties over at Willowbrooke, you married a genius, and you were smart enough to cheat on an IQ test.
Dumb like the hot vixen that you are!

55?...I got socks older than that!
You'll always rock!

Jodes..grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Oh my hot little steamy fresh cowcake of love...

I'm utterly in love with your eyes, who needs brains when you are the most wonderful bovine beauty in the pasture?

Brains are overated...

Oh, I recently took a test to tell me how stupid I am and it said I had the same intellligence level as Halle Berry which meant that I could still be invited to parties as long as I focused on my looking my best and being really nice, but that I should be fully aware that I am about as smart as a can of soup.

I, too, am most excited when I see sparkles and shiney pretty things!

Besides, we're not stupid. We're just pretty. ...and, that is why they are all jealous!

 

At 1/12/2007 5:29 PM, Blogger Crabby

Jodes, I'm most definitely planning on it. You have a great one too, kid.

g-man, flattery will get you everywhere.

Dirk, you're right, I am better looking than the other cows. They're so....spotty. LOL!

Denny, dumb and fun is not a bad combo unless you're doing electrical work. (please don't ask me how I know that)

Milky, pass the chips please. I just read how many calories are in liquer. More than chocolate! I kept saying to myself....but...it's clear, like water. Life can be cruel. sigh.

Manny, wanna take an IQ test? I can show you how to do really well on it.

Matty, I adore you. Let's go get a pedicure and buy some snazzy sandles. Oh wait, it's winter. I'm in Ohio. Bad idea. Well, in the spring then.

You are totally my kind of woman! Move over on that couch and pass the Dooritos. The Simpsons is about to begin. ;)

 

At 1/12/2007 5:55 PM, Blogger Crabby

Dan, Simpsons, YES! And also King of the Hill used to be pretty good but now it's all reruns here. which flavor dorito do ya want, nacho or salsa?

Try not to judge people that way. I have (or was that had) a higher IQ but not high by any stretch. One of my friends is very smart but you know what, you would never know it. I knew him for years before that came out and I was surprised. What you need to do is find smart people that are not snobs about it.

Personally I do enjoy the conversation sometimes but I think I would join Denny at the fun table for sure. Crabs, should I get you a drink?

Love you Crabbs, no matter what. Wait, is it to late to put a condition on that...???

Did someone say "Doritos?"

 

At 1/13/2007 1:53 AM, Blogger Bare

Yay!!! Let me tell you, "smart" people are so friggin' overrated! My husband is one of those who's IQ is high enough to be in MENSA, and until he met me was boring as hell. No joke. Not just trying to toot my own horn, the man was as square as they come.

Sure, I can hold an intelligent conversation, but why have one all the time when there are shiny things, cows, Spongebob, and all of those other things I love so much in this world. I love cartoons, and senseless shit like that, too.

You know, we deal with so much on a daily basis, that we all need to escape, and go to a "happy place" every now and then. My IQ is 122, and you know what, I could really give a flying wharf rat's ass about it. I'd much rather sit around talking about nothing of any importance with my friends, than have a converstation about nuclear fission with a Harvard scholar!

You rock on with your self! And keep the great cow pics coming- I love the "flying cow!"

Mornin Crab, Timbits and Coffee yet?

 

At 1/13/2007 3:41 PM, Blogger Crabby

Barman, I'll have a double grasshopper. They won't know what it is so for back up I'll have a fishbowl margarita, peach. Peach is good.

Kami, that was me. But don't tell Milky. She thinks we're out of doritos. I might have told an eensy white lie.

Miss, I do like being in my "happy place". You got it dead on when you talked about dealing with enough of life's crap day to day. Truly, folks....we need more play time in our lives. It's good for us.

Christie, Hi kiddo!

G-man, we just got back from cheap Mexican food and then Horton's. (I'm at Ethels today) I'm bogarting her computer.

Just don't bogart her joint!

 

At 1/13/2007 5:51 PM, Blogger barman

Oh I love grasshoppers but it has been forever since I have had one. Yum! The Margarita sounds good too but I have never had a peach one before. Time to experiment!!!

I best drink up all I can. I just found out I am attending a wedding at the end of June and all they are going to have in the drink department is an expresso bar. I am going to be so wired for my birthday this year!!! I need a drink.

Can I join your club? Seriously. Life has too many fun shiny things to try to boggle my mind with witty banter.

I'm so blonde!

I don't think your dumb to enjoy cartoons and such. You only live once, enjoy! And, you are as young as you feel. I feel pretty young... sometimes!
Have a great weekend!

Mornin Crab, you know what I'm drinking now? One guess.

Forrest Gump reads your posts?

Boy G-man, between you and crabs ... Horton's has not made it this far west yet in Michigan. You two ... Next time I am in the Detroit area I must give them a try again. What can a timbit or two hurt? Some Hazlenut coffee... Oh man!

` Greetings from sunny California (and onto Mexico!)!
` Ah, for Family Guy. Sounds like you may have attention span problems of some kind, Crabs. I just found how I have ADD - I have so many thoughts going through my head that it's overwhelming to do the simplest task!

` BTW, I anti-cheated on my SAT test because I didn't want to go to college. (Dad said I'd be a crack whore there. You know, to scare me.)

` ...I keep forgetting what Timbits are, but they sound like something fun to nibble on!!!!!

Barman, you don't live in Alaska. You gotta have a Tim Horton's by you.
If you don't have one within 20 miles of your house, I'll personally buy everyone in this post a Walnut Crunch!

 

At 1/15/2007 7:24 AM, Blogger Manny

Wake up!!!! It's Monday, time to post new!

 

At 1/15/2007 9:16 AM, Blogger Crabby

Mornin everybody!


g-man, Ethel hasn't seen a joint in probably 20 years. LOL! We're old folks. We get off on coffee.

barman, I didn't think anybody else knew what a grasshopper was! They're really good but sometimes even the bartenders don't know what you're talking about.

Sign, join the club? Baby you're the president of the club. LOL!

lee Ann, that's exactly how I feel. I know people in their 30's who are wayyyyyy older than me mentally. Ok...in all honesty...there are people in their teens who are mentally older than me. LOL!

Sheri & Suzan, You have a cool blog! I'm gonna link you over here. Awesome template! I think it's probably mentally safer to be among the dumb. LOL! We don't get riled so easily.

Forest, you are profound.

G-man, not only Forest but I'm pretty sure SpongeBob reads them too.

Barman, you are deprived! We must get you a Hortons post haste!

Dirk, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ok. Sit down. (it's gonna get worse) When labor time rolls around, she'll have the strength of 50 men and she's gonna be pissed as hell every time a labor pain hits her. That' when they're gonna want you to step in and be her coach, hold her hand, tell her to breath. You're basically screwed here.

Seequin, timbits are doughnut holes.

Manny, I'm up. I'm not dressed but....I'm up. That's really good, huh?

 

At 1/15/2007 9:28 AM, Blogger barman

G-man, I will not hold you to that. The nearest one is over 40 miles away. Want to open a franchise?

They hit the Detroit area but only seem to have two west of the Detroit area. The one that is 42 miles away from me is one of them. That is OK however since I will be in the Detroit area this weekend near like three of them with 2 blocks I think (well maybe not that close but) and I will be sure to stop at one of them.

Well I'm a man of my word...Walnut Crunches for everyone!

Crabbs, I am so depraved. All this talking about coffee I think I am going to have to brave the ice and go hit a Beaner's (nearest coffee house).

 

At 1/15/2007 9:54 AM, Blogger Crabby

Barman, Beaners is good. I used to get their frozen coffee years ago. I even had a coffee card and everything.
