This would be much more interesting to discuss than what we've been enduring on this thread lately.

I did OK on the SATs and took an obscure exam called the ASAT (now obsolete, I believe). Can anyone guess what that was for?

*But if you really wanted to know; it's simply an alternative to the SAT, used by some midwestern and western states -- although more colleges/states allow both tests these days, I believe. Similar content and difficulty; different scoring range.

Cairo, it's incredibly uncool to have two people posting to the same account. How are we supposed to get to know you if we don't know who's who?

For once, the Arkansan makes a good point. If your hubby wants to post, have him create his own account. We have plenty of couples here already, so it's not unprecedented.

Ah ah ah! No trying to sound British now. Let's try that again...

Juju responds to syc by saying, "Well golly gee syc! I think I made me some good points 'round here a good two three four times now."

Better.

Hey, you ever see Willy running around down there. Maybe chasing some college girls?

He gave a speech at my college during a statue dedication a couple of months ago, right before the mid-term elections. I think he was also supposed to be at a few other events, but the democratic candidate decided he didn't want anything to do with him.

There were so many people at the dedication that you couldn't even see him, though. It was very poorly placed between two buildings. Not a lot of room for a crowd.

Better.
I don't talk like that! Actually, I'm told I don't have much of an accent at all. Shall I record myself speaking to prove it? :)

My PSATs blew, but by SAT time I had gotten brighter and scored 1330.

Why thankyou
*shovels in abuse*
No particular reason.
You have a point though. There *have* been some good discussion round here, (note discussions) and plenty of bad ones. I’ve had my fair share of the bad ones, and the good ones. There is a reason I’m still here after all. Recently though we've had a few new members who I think I can safely say the vast majority agree have posted little or nothing of value and have contributed to a fark.com like level of political discourse round here, which is a bit of a pity. On the upside two of them seem to share the same account which saves space on my ignore list, but on the downside we have reason to believe they may have procreated, another drop of pissing the gene pool, even if it is at the shallow end.

What the hell is it with the score ending in 30? Almost everyone I know had a score that ended in 30. 1230. 1330. Except Alan, this guy I knew from Science Research. He got a 1600 (and was later not accepted to Harvard).

Are you suggesting that there are no marathon runners who are patriots? I find such a notion to be completely absurd. I've known a great number of marathon runners (not counting my sprinter friends) who have spilled their blood for our country. Discounting the contribution of runners and dismissing them is extremely upsetting to me. I think the UROA (United Runners of America) deserve an apology.

A little friendly life advice...if you want to get the attention and on-going response from a woman, it's best NOT to add onto her age! In fact, subtracting from often gains you major kudos!
Otherwise, it's an insult and you will be ignored and alone for the rest of your life. K?
What's six months compared to 39 years? It's like convincing Strom he has another year to go before he gets another free meal at Denny's.
