mensa material?
some of you may have seen this. it was actually a forward from my mom but i thought it was clever...those crazy mensa kids and the things they do for fun...[shaking head]
dorks.
The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are this year's {2005} winners:
1. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
2. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly
3. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you
4. Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.
5. Karmageddon: It's like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer.
6. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.
7. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
8. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
9. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.
10. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease.

12 people who played with me:
Blooger: When Blogger sneezes and fucks up a post. (ok, that was stupid)
ah the perils of sarchasm. there's nothing like some doe-eyed person responding with, '...really?'
oh wait. that's usually me.
"Foreploy" is my favorite. I would have liked a word other than "lying" to use during my college days (no, not for me - for friends of mine who had to do that :) )
"Intaxication" is more appropriate in my life now though.
Another one from that list: Dopeler effect. How someone can appear intelligent until they open their mouth.
I have one of my own, but it’s a bit low-brow.
let's hear it, andy!
I LOVE IT.
I'm going to try and remember some of the ones I've made up. Man. I can't remember any right now.
That was fun. I called my email "Dorks with Dictionaries" and sent it to all my friends.
Feel speshul now? :)

come read about elvis, aliens, and murder attempts--all in one posting, before i get sued.
Here it is... because you asked for it. Note: I didn't say it was good.
Cliterature: Classy porn.
Or... articles in porn magazines
Take your pick...
you're right, i asked for it. and i have to admit i sniggled a little. (breathing out through your nose and shaking your head when something is sort of funny)
Cliterature! Yeah!
File that under A for Anais Nin.
I know many people who suffer from hipatitis . . . it's quite sad really. I identify heavily with sarchasm since sarcasm is my de fact mode of expression. . . and I love the dopeler effect.
Great stuff.
I guess I'm the last person in America to read these - found them hilarious.
I am going to a skeptic conference this month with my near genius brother. So tempted to sit in the back and be a skeptic about the intelligent skeptical banter.
Never seen these before and they're awesome!
