But some of those kids are mild to borderline...60s and 70s on the IQ scale. If I remember my classifications correctly, 20-39 is severely retarded...that sounds like an MSN chat room to me.

Watch it with those comparisons!

HEY! My cousin happens to have down syndrome, and I beg to differ. He would have been much more polite, concise and well-organized in his discussion, although he, too, would not have known what he was talking about. This would have been a major improvement over the level of discourse we saw on this thread.

Also, since he cannot type (nor spell, nor even READ, for that matter), we would have been spared the lengthy FLAMES and seething vitriol to which we were unhappily subjected. I am pleased that the Cairos have decided that this is the impoper forum for their 'educational' rants, and hope they can find a more suitable home elsewhere.

Is it just my perceptions, or does Cairo have the most overdeveloped sense of intellectual snobbery on the entire Internet? Or is it just the most overdeveloped and freely given sense of intellectual snobbery here in The Cellar? Reminds me of half of the MENSA people I've ever met.

Anyway, now that I've seen that I'm not going to be worthy enough to talk to Cairo, I know what I must do to improve both myself and my life...<the sound of scratching of the head and a lot of mouse clicks is heard>...Hmmm. Now, how exactly do I put someone in the 'ignore' file, anyway? I'm not smart enough to figure that out. Must be that shallow gene pool I crawled out of...whoops, 'scuse me. I mean 'that shallow gene pool out of which I crawled.'

And I thought trolls only lived under bridges. Sheesh.

There are MANY bridges on the information superhighway.

(Elspode looks at the ground, scuffs his toe and sniffles)

I only have an old Marlin .22 rifle from KMart now. I used to have a really bitchin' vintage Savage 410 bolt action shotgun, but I traded it off a long, long time ago...I won't say what for, 'cause its embarassing. Also swapped my .22 auto pistol a long time back.

I've always had so many friends with guns that I never really bothered to own many, and as I've gotten older, I 've chosen to buy tons of expensive musical instruments instead. I miss shooting, though...used to do it a lot.

Do I have to get my teeth fixed and sell Ol' Bessie now?

Only if one of your instruments isnt an old moonshine jug

I think a broomstick and warshtub bass should qualify as well ... but of course I merely aspire to being rural.

(is there anyway I can be rural without bib-alls? I am willing to go the gingham dress route ...)

I've heard some claim the only requirements are barefoot and pregnant... of course my wife is the primary income here so what would I know? I'm just a bib-overall wearin' mando-picker.

Well, no...but give me a week or so, and I'm pretty sure I can synthesize a jug, washboard and/or washtub bass on one of my synths.

I *can* be a high-tech hillbilly can't I? Oh...wait...nevermind. My favorite synth is 25 years old...guess that doesn't qualify as high-tech.

I'm glad someone finally put me in my place. I was on a never ending spiral into crap-laden diatribes over something that I know absolutely nothing about. ...wait, wait, wait. I'm sounding like Cairo now.

There's a mass suicide planned for this afternoon for all of those who have realized that we are not worthy to lick Cairo's calculus book...

No you're not, because you are expressing self-awareness and remorse for annoying others and admitting that you don't know what you're talking about. The non-arrogance trifecta! Cairo is not capable of achieving that.
