SAT: 680V, 790M; GRE: 720V, 800A, 800Q

Which does nothing to alter the fact that you have a tiny
and poorly working mind.


Try drinking it instead of pumping it up your ass.


When you deserve only insults, you get only insults.

But please, do go find your birth mother and apologize to her.

Sheeeesh! Blair! You're making me ashamed to be an ex-Primenetter.

You are truly the juvenile :-(

(680+790) / (800+720) = 0.967105263

Living evidence that high SAT scores have absolutely nothing whatsoever to
do with common sense.

Hey, John! Haven't been called a "juvenile" in a long time have you
?:)

...Jim Thompson

Sounds good to me. I'd love to have the heart of a 9-year-old boy.

Not in a jar on your desk, I presume. ;-)

Bwahahahahaha! Great URL! I particularly liked:

"Diplomacy is the art of saying "nice doggy" until you can find a
rock."

...Jim Thompson

I think that's a Heinlein quote...

I've heard it attributed to Will Rogers.

Except that it takes a lot of common sense (and some practice!) to get
good SAT scores. A lot of the time, you can get the right
multiple-choice answer even if you don't know the material, just from
the way things are worded.

I took the SAT four times and got better each time, not so much from
learning more but from psyching and managing the test better. I'd
leave 15 minutes early just to freak out the other kids.

These days, there are SAT workshops, which teach kids how to take them.
They take them again and again, from the sophmore year on (I guess you
know that, having a daughter just starting college)

Seems like a racket to me. Competition to get into a dwindling number of
spots in college, based on how much one can spend on courses.

It would be better if everybody who wanted to get into college could go.
Sadly, test scores aren't good predictors of success in either college
or life. Motivation and interest appears to be far more important.

For MIT you have to get by me. I interview HS students as part of the
admission process. If you are a brainless wonder I will duly note
that fact ;-)

If you are Burridge, or a Burridge-wanna-be, you are delegated to ASU

Bush's proposals have never been close to decreasing the
Right, he'll cut the defict in half in 5 years. He also says that
Rumsfeld is doing a good job.

He also says that he knows the humain being and fish can coexist
peacefully.

Stop listening to right-wing hate radio. It's turning
you into an even bigger knee-jerking parrot.
No, he doesn't seem very cheerful, or very friendly.

Bush has doubled the deficit, and now he's going to pretend
to slash it but only by slashing any benefit to anyone
who isn't a corporation or a millionaire.

The second sentence of that article includes the proof it's
utter bullshit:

"we will protect the homeland"

The news is full of stories showing Bush's "protect
the homeland" effort doesn't involve actually stopping
terrorists from getting in, keeping them from having
large amounts of explosives, or attacking them instead of
attacking innocent people whose plight only acts to turn
kids into terrorists.

--Blair
"You go ahead and be happy about that."

in baking dish, layer with vegetables seasoning and butter.
Bake at 325° for 30 - 45 minutes.
Serve with hot dinner rolls, fruit salad and sparkling water.



Bébé Buffet 1

Show off with whole roasted children replete with apples in mouths -
and babies? heads stuffed with wild rice. Or keep it simple with a
hearty main course such as stew, lasagna, or meat loaf.

Some suggestions

Pre-mie pot pies, beef stew, leg of lamb, stuffed chicken, roast pork spiral ham,
Cranberry pineapple salad, sweet potatoes in butter, vegetable platter, tossed salad with tomato and avocado, parsley new potatoes, spinich cucumber salad, fruit salad
Bran muffins, dinner rolls, soft breadsticks, rice pilaf, croissants
Apple cake with rum sauce, frosted banana nut bread sherbet, home made brownies
Iced tea, water, beer, bloody marys, lemonade, coffee

The guests select food, beverages, silverware... everything from the buffet table.
They move to wherever they are comfortable, and sit with whoever they choose.
Provide trays so your guests will not spill everything all over your house from
carrying too much, nor will they have to make 10 trips back and fourth from the
service stations.



Roast Leg of Amputee

By all means, substitute lamb or a good beef roast if the haunch
it is in any way diseased. But sometimes surgeons make mistakes,
and if a healthy young limb is at hand, then don?t hesit
