at my insurance card and saw what I drove, she asked me to take her outside
and let her see it. She said she had never seen one before except in the
dealer's brochure. I apologized for the smudgy windows.
Anyway, I paid for the license in cash and then went to Jiffy Lube for an
oil change. When the guy changed the oil, the others stood around and
watched with envy. One guy took a spray bottle and cleaned the windows all
around. Tomorrow or the next day I'll get my annual inspection sticker (the
gal at Jiffy Lube said I need a new license plate light and new wiper
blades). She said they cost more for an Explosion.
While I was at the county office I passed a table loaded with LaRouche
(however it's spelt) information. It was outside the building and under the
overhang; and the woman told me he wanted to get the price of oil down to
GWB's IQ. Well, that's about 145, and said I'll go for that. I asked her
if she was a Libertarian, but she would not admit she was. She wanted a
donation, but I said no.

Based on his SAT scores, GWB's IQ is about 120. Probably about the
same as most of the people here.

He did all the windows with one spray bottle? Usually, they need one

The old SAT score was out of *1600* points, Skippy, not 1500, and
the new one goes to 2400, so this means you've made yet another
error. In any case, 1368 was a good score, and according to this
site translates to about a 141-144 IQ (I rounded you up to 1370).
http://www.iqcomparisonsite.com/oldSATIQ.aspx
The site doesn't claim great accuracy -- it's just for fun.
I went to high school in the midwest and took the ACT. Got a 33,
which translates to a 1470 SAT score, and the comparison site
estimates my IQ at 151-154, which matches the 154 I received from an
online IQ test -- again just for fun, not official.

1370 out of the 2400, mebbe. gawd! Could you imagine Skip takin' the essay part
of the current SATs? He'd *owe* points. Too bad they didn't have these questions
on Skip's test:
--------------------------------------
I would join/financially support a religious cult based on awful science fiction:
A. Never.
B. Once, if they told me that "the Earth is doomed
within a few years unless $cientology succeeds".
C. Twice, if I forgot to pack my guitar when I ran away
from the slave labor conditions (DOH!), and if, when I called
them and explained that I needed it to become a STAR, they
reminded me that "the Earth is doomed within a few years
unless $cientology succeeds" (and promised to give my guitar
to a peep they trusted who'd hold it for me).
D. Three times, if when I left again, Xenu, Scientology's Galactic
Dictator, asked me to sign a promissory note for an *additional*
$50,000. Which I would, because I'd be afraid afraid they'd turn
me into one of their "evil alien space cattle".
E. Where do I sign to re-up?
---------------------------------------------------
Henry Kissinger was a Russian KGB member.
A. No. Wot a stupid statement.
B. He's KGB, this I know, because my Xenu told me so.

summabitch. Mine SAT score matches my (Official) IQ score. Interestin', though
I concur with this:
"Note: Mensa considers that scores from after January 31, 1994,
'No longer correlate with an IQ test.' "
The SATs became a joke during the 1990's, and these days a lot of universities
ignore the scores or give them very little weight due to skewed scores resulting
from the academic testing preparation indu$try.

'Course not. That's why you began a whole separate thread about it,

something else: "it's just all interesting to me and I don't really

Okay, some stats: According to the Library of Congress, Mr. Big Shot,
you've had 16 books published, of which 11 were published before 1996
and most were targeted at student audiences age 9 to 12 ... the exact
same audience as about 1/3 of the books I've written. Oh, and while I
was writing about the Great Depression, Constellations, Drunk Driving,
Tsunamis, Hurricanes, Asteroids, Impressionism, Exploring Mars, the
Internet, Earthquakes, Jonas Salk, Joseph Lister, Iraq, Korea,
Afhganistan, etc. for this *same* audience, you were writing about Tori
Spelling, Michael & Kirk Douglas, the Judds, Charlie Sheen, and Joan
Rivers. Wow. Meaty shit, gotta give you much credit! Probably you met
them and got interviews firsthand, yeah? Uh-huh. LOL.
Since 1996, you have published "Your Modeling Career," "Complete Idiot's
Guide to Screenwriting," "Complete Idiot's Guide to Screenwriting,"
(again) and "Ultimate Writer's Guide to Hollywood."
And yet I seem to remember you posting a while back that you "sell
nearly every word" that you write. So where's all the evidence of that
uber-selling success eh? Maybe the LOC is just uninformed.

Let's put it this way. I don't lie about anything, but boy do certain
parties here go nuts trying to declare I do, based on what they can
find on the Innertubes.
And none of my questions about what they've done as they come after me,
trying to demean what I've done, is ever answered.
So since you're being big tough big sister Poojay and takin up for 'em,
go tell them to answer my questions, then maybe I'd give a shit about
what YOU say, which right now, I don't.
gekko and Sylviafish are utterly fucking crazy, so I don't expect much.
At least Paula will admit what she's doing. Took her long enough.

120 is 90th percentile. 126 is 95th percentile. 133 is 98th
percentile.
Even if you got a perfect score on the old SAT, I wouldn't conclude
you were in the 140s.
144 means you're 1 in 600, and 154 means you're 1 in 6000. I don't
think you can make that sort of inference from an SAT score. It just
isn't that hard a test.

Here's the point. I hope you're actually paying attention this time.
As far as I know, the majority of you here on this writing group are
liberals, kind of far-left at that, and very angry.
It occurred to me some time back that this isn't a writing group, it's
a bubble-headed chat group populated mostly by far-lefters.
And you're mostly not successful at writing, far as I know. I don't
scurry around like a cockroach trying to figure out your real names,
anything. I don't give a shit - if I can't just ask and get a straight
answer, why bother?
Far as I know, Hopless, gucko, and Sylviafish have never sold much of
anything. I don't know about Towse (or whether she wants to) or Pies
(who always seems smart) or others.
When I made it very clear that I'm a conservative, the leftloons came
at me, and the only way they could think they made an impact (they
never did) was by attacking any writing credit they could find of mine
on the Net. That's astonishingly silly, but it's normal on Usenet.
Peggy just did it, thinking she was real slick using the Library of
Congress. And she revealed that everything she writes is work for hire,
which is a little sad, given how much she's published. She should
branch out into bigger work with royalties, I'm sure she could. She
could probably make a ton of money writing romance novels. I recently
wrote six chapters of a science book for hire because it landed in my
lap and got me a great new agent, but I usually get royalties, and
pretty nice ones.
So... if you didn't get such glee and blood rush over attacking me, you
might back off for a second and think about it. Something like "Wait a
minute, this guy actually does sell a lot of books, why is that?"
It has to do with logic and marketing and (gasp!) a conservative
approach to life, as well as considerable talent. If you looked on
simply the first page of my site (which I'm sure you have) you'd find
two books I worked on that went to #1 in their category on Amazon and
another that was a best-seller.
Geno very obviously does the same kind of approach with his school
board thing or whatever it is - he supplies something that people want
and will pay for, as does PJ.
Now, why did I start in with political stuff? Because the Canadian
idiot just wouldn't stop with his Bush-hating, and because he's a
fucking Canadian, I took particular offense to that. So I started
jamming it back at him.
So you guys can keep wasting your writing lives with long angry posts
and things you think show that you "won" but boy is it ultimately a
waste of typing. If you put that kind of passionate emotion into
well-structured fiction, you might find yourself a lot less angry,
because you would have SALES.
How do I know? Because I've helped thousands of writers for over a
decade become successful or more successful. I'm not going to name
names because that seems to piss some people off.
And I also don't particularly think some of the "show me!" assholes
here deserve anything because they've never shown anything of
themselves. But that's a typical Usenet attack of the dying virus
types, look for what they think is a weak spot, try to get under the
skin, and always stay as anonymous and uninspected as possible.
So there you go. I'm not going to respond. This is an explanation,
which I'm not sure you deserve, but you've been a bit more civil
lately.

Okay. I didn't "conclude" anything from my score -- I simply found that

Why does it matter? You act as though you have the right to demand
answers out of people, and you don't. Perhaps if you asked nicely...
But in any case, I answered your question about being published, so
there was no reason to slosh your anger at "the others" onto me.

You'll believe what you want, but that simply isn't true. You were
attacked for being an arrogant asshole who said stupid things. There
are other non-lefties here who don't act like jerks (which you would

You're not selling fiction, Skip, so I don't really care. I don't
mean that as a slam -- I'm simply uninterested in non-fiction
publishing, whether by you or anyone else. I will, of course, be
happy for a friend who sells a piece of non-fiction, but that's a
different thing.

Yep, and so? I've never taken much of an interest in the details of
PJ or Geno's sales either. I like writing and reading fiction;
marketing and publishing make me yawn. Now maybe that means I'll
never sell anything, and I guess I don't care. This seems to bug
you, and I don't know why. So what if I never get published?

168 IQ. Higher than Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein (estimated), and Bill
Gates.
And it must be true because he said so.

I'm planning on driving there again today and let them inspect it. I
have about 250 pounds of supplies in the rear cargo area, and I want
to tote all of it into storage before I go because they test the
brakes by gunning the engine and then slamming down hard on the
pedal. I don't want stuff flying all over the place.
A few days ago I posted about how some vehicles are not selling well,
and the media blames it on high gas prices. One of the vehicles was
the big Jeep, and I talked to a guy yesterday who just sold his. It
wasn't because gas is high, he said. It was because the damn thing
was so ugly.
He bought it because he thought it looked a lot like the H2, but he
couldn't afford a Hummer. Longer he kept the Jeep the uglier it got,
and it still wasn't a Hummer. He's now driving a Chevy pick up.
The Ford Explosion does not look like a Hummer, and the styling hasn't
changed since I bought it.

Someone oughta tell Skip that SAT testin' is done in secondary schools, not by

Someone oughta tell Skip that ya don't just stroll into a college, sign up for

A Masters in *what*? Someone oughta tell Skip that ya don't just "get yer
Masters" like that.

Skip Press is confusing his college education fantasy with his real Signing Up
for Xenu and Scientology experience:
"She launched into a standard 'the Earth is doomed within a
few years unless $cientology succeeds' mantra which tapped
into the reason I joined $cientology in the first place; I thought
it would help me help people.
"Yvonne Jentzsch, the founder of Celebrity Centre, thoroughly
believed this mantra. Of course, she also told a staff meeting
that Henry Kissinger was a Russian KGB member, but I didn't
know how crazy she was at the time. How could I?"

168! OMFG! He's JUST like Haddad! Not only does he lie to try to impress peeps,
but he's gotta over-reach and destroy his entire pack of lies! AND, he doesn't
have a clue *why* what he just said does that! 168! Skip Press of all people!
Can't ya just picture it?
Skip Press: "Hi, I have an IQ of 168!"
Xenu: "Oh, well, then, we need you to help save the Earth!
All you have to do is work under slave labor conditions
and promise to support us FOREVER! Here, sign this."
Skip Press: "Okay."

Right. There's the logic of Skip's 168 shining through... suuuuuure.
> You do, apparently. Heh heh. Keep workin on dat novel, UV.
Heh heh. Keep forking money over to that cult, Skip. I wonder how much of that
extra $50,000 promissory note he still owes to his Scientology cult... he prolly
agreed to usury interest rates, too.

Of course, when ya compare it to his Life With Xenu...
"It was determined that I was a troublemaker based on really
nothing [...] So I was given a choice of going to work with the
$cientology slave labor force known as the Rehabilitation Project
Force [...] or I would be kicked out of the so-called church and
declared to be a "suppressive person." That was the standard
choice given staff members picked for slave labor in those days.
I didn't have any friends who were not $cientologists - which
the organization very carefully arranges for as many members
as possible. I had alienated my family over $cientology. I had
no money. So I chose to be a slave, slightly buying into the chance
that I might actually be a messed-up spiritual being in need of
rehabilitation."

Skip Press, who charges peeps (supposedly) how to be successful at writing
scripts for the motion picture industry, but who has NEVER been successful at it
himself.

But, of course, Skip's the only one who's bragging about script writing and the

WTF? Must be a statement conjured by that 168 IQ Skip claims. We oughta channel
Mr. Einstein and ask him to explain... oh, wait...
"168 IQ. Higher than Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein (estimated),
and Bill Gates. And it must be true because he said so."
