The News Media Lies

I HATE! to admit this but I am not as smart as What Exit? My 1/2HP brain can’t figure out the wordplay. Please give me a clue, don’t make me beg!

Ni is the symbol for the element nickel: opinion without a “Ni” is an opion. Clever stuff.

Huh. I thought it was like “my two cents worth”. You may be right, but then I’d have to think of What Exit as some sort of elitist Mensa dink.

Is there any other kind?

Mensa denial: the unwillingness to admit that you were ever, in your life, such a snot.

He’s on third.

Love the Opion commercial!

Maybe OP meant prion?

You mean like that bovine spongiform brainrot?

Prion… prion… why do I hear that being chanted like that commercial for a no-hands light switch: “Clap on! Clap off!”

:dubious:

Or… “Prion! Apply directly to the forehead!”

:confused:

Or maybe it’s the offspring of a Prius and a Scion?

:smack:

Hmmmm… Maybe I should ratchet back the cold meds…

Exactly why I thought it was perfect wordplay. It worked on multiple levels and I love that.

Not worth a nickel is somewhat like “my two cents worth” and at the same time there was the more subtle Ni = Nickel.

I saw no reason to join, but I did qualify. I always thought their standards were pretty low. I realized they could not attract real geniuses and had to settle for the smart, the shallow and the eccentric. I preferred hanging with “normal” geeks in the D&D club and Chess Team. :wink:

Well, now I feel kinda bad, Jim. You want your lunch money back?

Strange thing, I was not picked on. I fight back hard and quickly and all out. I was not worth the effort to the bullies that might want to cow the average geek. I guess I was the token tolerated geek for the “Alphas”. I knew and talked sports, cars, Rock and girls. I was nerdy, but a very social nerd. I also had a few very large friends that greatly appreciate my help with their homework.

Jim {Now how the hell did this thread derail this much? Oh yeah, it was a piece of crap to start with.}

Say, where is the OP?

Op? …We don’t need no stinkin’ Op!

Stinkin’? Why, it was doused with chanel {sic}.

The OP hasn’t been back since his/her/its registration day. Let’s let this sink away, just as the OP has slunk away.
