A peek inside CJ's brain

[cjsmith]

Is it clever, ironic, or just really stupid to misspell "oops"?
If someone believes himself superior to you for a stupid reason, does that automatically make him inferior? Are there any non-stupid reasons? (Would that include this one?)
Is it helpful or ironic to tell someone to say "no" more often?

Now you can see why I have not yet found the cure for cancer or invented a time travel machine. I'm using my brain for this crap.

Oh yes, I understand! Why does my brain choose to clutter itself with the knowledge of what happened to each and every one of the girls from Facts of Life (including the expanded cast of first season) when it could maintain detailed files from my beloved chem classes (really -- I love chem) in college?

Seriously though, these questions are like an itch! Under what circumstances is arrogance NOT stupid? I'll tell ya what's stupid. What's stupid is thinking about it in the first place! Yeesh!

I misspell "oops" all the time when I first type it in. I usually manage to correct it before sending or posting.

Ot doesn't automatically make them inferior, but it does make them stupid.

Depends on the situation, but in general it's helpful.

I used to be able to beat everyone at Trivial Pursuit. When the other players were on 2-person teams and I was by myself.

Of course, I can't remember what happened last week, but I can remember every last detail of my senior prom, including what the theme song was, from 20 years ago (goddess, I'm OLD!!!)

I just spent ten minutes trying to come up with new and creative answers to the question "Why are manhole covers round?". (I was particularly proud of "because the hole is round".) Then I googled it and found quite a few more. :-) I'm kicking myself for missing "so that you can roll them instead of carrying them"!

Um.

Uh.

OK, I missed that one entirely. (If it's about television or movies, you might as well be speaking Greek. Worse - I know a few words of Greek!)
