The average brilliant person is a total idiot in one arena or another.

True. But it's usually in some area that doesn't count like social skills or dressing.

Right. Or like personal hygiene, the ability to speak in full sentences, or a non-zero probability that the woman you're talking to will go home with you someday. Truly inconsequential stuff.

You know, for a gal who is usually on the ball this is one area where you are lacking.

False. I am brilliant, and I am total idiot in no areas. Ipso facto, your premise is false.

This sounds like me, except for the "brilliant" part.

Oh. TRUE.
Despite my own obvious brilliance - for which I can take no credit, of course, having been simply born that way - I myself am an admitted Idiot in Many Ways.
-Electricity.
-Social skills, including a bad case of Foot in Mouth Disease.
-Technophobia.
-Clutteriness.
-Laziness.
-Past history of Falling for Wrong Guy Disease.
Well, at least that LAST one's come up some, recent years.
Still...does so much idiocy actually cancel out the brilliance part?
NAAAAAAAAAH.

Oh, I think you always had taste. I sense that, somehow

Hairball?
And btw, the "Exactly!" was in response to AG's comment, not CGHill's...And the hairball comment was a shot in anger because I wasted time thinking it was Javascript or Pascal before "Puff: The Magic Kitty" set me straight.

Taste, certainly. Of course! Just not always a good sense of compatibility.

True. I'll just let the audience guess what I'm a total idiot at.

But the average *person* is a total idiot in some arena or another. Perhaps it's just more noticeable when he's brilliant at something....
