	So far we've got "qualifying for Mensa" trumping "reading the New York Times". Any guesses for the next step up on the old ladder o' intellectual pretentiousness? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Making your own ketchup", obviously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That sounds like a good euphemism for menstruation. "Yup, making ketchup... in my underpants..." I'm going to have to apologize for that to someone, aren't I? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I guess "qualifying for Mensa" already trumps "talk to my GPA, fuckers!" How about someone went to an Ivy League college? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	My dogs could qualify for Mensa if they could refrain from eating the paper long enough. It's more of a pretentiousness test, really. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Folks, I'm in MENSA, and take it from me -- considering some other Mensans I've met, it ain't necessarily as sexy as you'd think. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I'm sorry. Internet protocol requires that you assert your intellectual superiority times while participating in any online discussions. The only allowable exceptions to this rule are the very specific circumstances of a fauxpology, a flounce post or a psuedicide. Even then such admissions need to be couched far more passive-aggressively, e.g "Well, I guess I'm just not a smart as the rest of you and that's why this hurts me so much." Any further offenses and we shall be forced to confiscate your modem.

	I used to be in Mensa. I dropped out because the dues got too high and the newsletter was boring. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I somehow got signed up for Mensa when I was, like, ten. I don't remember why. They gave me a little foam puzzle cube with their logo on it and a new level of skepticism regarding standardized IQ tests. (Reply to this)(Parent)

I am rapidly reaching that point as well. I only joined initially because I came across a list of "scores on other tests you can use to prove your worthiness," and one of them was the SATs -- and when I found out I qualified, I giggled for two solid minutes, and then figured that was a sign I'd probably keep my membership status in the proper perspective, figured "oh, well, it's a way of meeting people i wouldnt' have met otherwise," and joined.

...I ended up talking most with the guy I already knew from another means anyway, so heck with it.

	My mom qualified for MENSA. She decided not to, because she had different priorities. She was also a stoner. In celebration of her accomplishment, her best guy friend got her a little pin with a turkey on it wearing a graduation cap and the words "I'm more eruditer than you." It's neat pin.
