I think that's probably best kept to yourself. Intellegent people can read between the lines. |

What?

I see giant buffalo penises and testicles between the lines.
And ohh, dead people, that's right, dead people

Some of you may have read my post on the previous page where I stated that I've fallen in love with someone whose name I don't know even though I should. Since this is the intelligent people's thread and not a pathetic romantics' thread, I decided to solve my tricky problem by intelligent means, trusting my never-failing logic and almost-never-failing hunch like any hard-boiled private eye would. Here's what happened:
The sky hung above me like a glooming premonition when I stepped out of my flat into the street. The mystery lady sure hadn't left many traces. I decided to start my search at the regular place, Huck's. "Who's dead?" Huck asked while pouring me a glass of coke. "Don't get your hopes up. I'm looking for a girl. A live one." "Take a pick." Huck gave a quick glance around the empty bar. The business was, as always, slow. "This time I know the one", I said. "Black hair, big brown eyes, thin eyebrows, smiles like a cat." "Doesn't ring a bell", Huck said. I knew he hadn't seen her. When it comes to women Huck's bell tends to ring loud and clear. I thanked him and left. The girl I was looking for could have been anywhere. Last time I had seen her at the university, and that's where I was heading next. Groups of students were scattered around the entrance hall. Noticing a girl wearing a black Green Day shirt I recalled my loved one talking about Green Day. It was a long shot, but I took it anyway. "Not many Green Day fans around anymore", I said to the girl. "You wish!" she squeaked. "You know any?" I continued. "Do I!" "Well?" "Well what?" she whined. She was really beginning to get on my nerves. "Can you give me some names?" I asked. "What kind of a sick weirdo are you?" she screamed. Her fellow students turned to look but soon got back to their conversations. "Now look, missy", I said toughly, "we can do this the easy way or the hard way. You just blew your chances for the easy way, so I guess we'll be doing it the hard way." Suddenly I saw someone approaching me from the back. I went down with the first blow. I woke up in a ladies' restroom surrounded by a bunch of skinny girls with extensive makeup on their faces. It didn't take me long to realize what kind of trouble I had gotten into. I had been kidnapped by a group of angry Green Day fans and it was only a matter of time before they'd start polishing their fingernails or cutting themselves with razor blades. The door opened slowly and a girl, apparently their leader, stepped in. I had to blink once or twice before I could believe my eyes: It was she, my loved my, the girl I had been looking for all along. I still couldn't remember her name. "I think we've met", she said elegantly, as if she had known it was me one of her gang members had knocked out. "I'm afraid your name escaped me", I said. "One of your friends gave me a good knockout." "Oh, poor thing", she apologized. "My name is P----. Ring a bell?" "You bet." If only I could have remembered my own name. |

Intelligent people are known for writing speeches. I too wrote a speech, and here's a story about how I wrote it:
There comes a moment in every man's life when he has to write a three-minute speech about a certain thing. This thing may be rabbits, communism, lightnings or westerns, but most often it's daylight saving time. This was my mission also, and I took it with my lance - or a sharpened pencil, if you wish - held high in hand. What did I know about daylight saving time? Not much, not much. I had a vague idea it had something to do with saving daylight. This reminded me of the Bond movie, "Living Daylights", but I decided not to include this random allusion in my speech. Instead I took the safe way and started my speech with a loud "Good evening, fellowmen!" What next? Something about daylight saving time, but what? A story, perhaps? Yes, a tragic and emotional story, like a good old fairytale! Here's how it went: "Last year was the year I turned into a rebel and kissed daylight saving time goodbye. I left my watch unturned. Now the government is after me. I'm doomed." Here's where the whole time thing began to bore me, so I left my speech unfinished. Now I'm trying to think of a better subject. Aliens, maybe? Or cheese? I can't decide. Maybe I'll just go with daylight saving time and add a Borges reference. Edited by Vompatti - April 06 2008 at 15:30 |

I think I saw her today. I looked at her, then she looked at me, then I looked away, so I'm not really sure if it was her, but I think it was. I'm not sure if she saw me. I hope she didn't see me look away and think I don't love her anymore. Anyway, I'm going to give my speech on Wednesday and blow her mind. I still can't remember my name.* (The story presented above where I hear it is fictional.)
* I meant to write "her name" but instead I wrote "my name." I think this means we're really one and the same and thus meant for each other. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just made coffee as brown as her eyes. I feel like an alchemist. Edited by Vompatti - April 07 2008 at 16:55 |

I sometimes put some daylight in a jar so that I can see what I'm doing in the bathroom at night time. Of course I could just turn on the light, but that would be too easy.

I wish I had scented candles in my bathroom at night, so that whenever I took a bath with some intelligent girl the candles would shed light on our perfect bodies and illuminate our philosophical conversations.

1. I re-created myself to meet the requirements of this thread
2. I then realised what a total waste of time that was and re-re-created myself to make time fly. 3. I then compiled a list of why I SHOULDN'T be included here. With my superior intelligence I came up with five reasons for that as well. 4. I realise I won't need five things to become a member. 5. I realise that it still turned out to be five in the end. |

The put an end to the story of me and my loved one (which no one seems to care about), I heard her name today. I also heard she has a job, so I'm not sure if I love her anymore.

I've spent the last thirty years slowly converting myself into a clothes hamper. I'm still confused about the lid thing.

DON'T END IT NOW!
I cared, I was just kinda hoping the story would continue, before we made any intelligent comments.

I too wish the story would continue, but the sad truth is that it doesn't. However, I can tell you, dear readers, what really happened when I heard her name:
It was a rainy day in the middle of May [April, editor's note] when I heard her say in a delicate way the name she'd obey. As I had thought it began with the letter P, but contrary to my beliefs it had eight (8) letters instead of five (5). She pronounced it as a reply to the question "What's your name again?" asked by the teacher of the class she belonged to at that moment, including fourteen (14) people, including her and me. I thought it was delightful that we were members of the same class. It reminded me of mathematics and for a moment I thought we were mathematical entities, bound together by the wire-like strings of strict logic. Soon the feeling passed. She also said she was late, because she had come straight from her job. It was a real shock for me to hear she had a job, but now I'm beginning to get over it. Despite her having a job she's a really wonderful person. Lies, all lies! It wasn't she who said her name aloud, it was someone else. Nobody asked my loved one's name, it just happened to come out in the conversation. However, the teacher who I was talking about did ask someone's name and that someone replied, but it wasn't my love, it was someone totally different. She's kind of lovely too, though. My mind is playing tricks again. So we weren't mathematical entities after all! But weep not, dear reader, for we were something much more: two ships passing in the night. "Pass the salt", someone said, and we did. I passed it from the left (port) side, she passed it from the right (starboard) side. So we both passed the salt, but when it was time for sugar, we couldn't resist any longer. We both reached for the same bowl of sugar. It didn't take long until our tongues met in a lustrous [lustful, editor's note] manner. Our half-naked bodies were moving against each other in a frantic, yet somewhat sensual, rhythm (time signature 13/8) when suddenly I heard a sudden gunshot. Then I woke up. |

I haven't met her since, but it's great fun trying to imagine her eating grapes. I've never actually seen her eating grapes, but I've got a great imagination when it comes to these kind of things.
I should be studying philosophy right now, but instead I'm dreaming of grapes and my loved one eating grapes. I thought I was only getting bored of literature but now it seems I'm getting bored of philosophy as well. Philosophy should be about finding out the truth, not about repeating already known or accepted things in silly ways. In this moment I feel like studying something real like mathematics, theoretical physics or the occult. I only wish I could get these grapes off my head and into her mouth, where her tongue caresses the smooth green grapes her teeth crush them and release their juice onto her tongue. I had a dream I was a grape dancing on her tongue it was almost like ballet, which I'm not very good at. Still, it was a pleasure to be on her guidance, on her possession. I would gladly live my life like that. Oh, to be caressed by her elegant tongue, her elegant lips! To be crushed into pieces by her wise teeth. If we ever get married, I hope she's the kind of wife that is in charge of everything and always knows what to do. Not the kind that shouts and beats you with a hammer whenever she's wrong. My blessing is I already know what she's like: wise, intelligent, understanding, caring, spiritual, mysterious, exciting, attractive, beautiful, elegant, sensual, cute, charming and lovely like spring rain on the hood of an old Dodge. |

I wonder, can I get kicked out if I'm not intelligent anymore? Is there anyone watching our intelligence levels? I feel like I'm being watched, does that mean I'm still intelligent?
