Who's the smartest?

[SCFinFan]

Ok guys, one of the things that originally attracted me to this board was the fact that some of the discussions taking place here really caused me to use the ol' grey matter. My question today (as should be evident from the thread name) is who do you think is the smartest TDMMCer?

It's true that we're all at different points in our lives and education, but if you had to pick one, just one, person who would represent this board's opinion against another person, who would it be? I'll be very interested to hear your responses.

Honestly, that is a very broad question.  There are a bunch of us who finished college, and a bunch of us who didn't.  I'm sure we have an even mix of book smarts and street smarts around.  I'd honestly be interested in who's got an even balance of both.  Like Donald Trump said, "In business, you have to be just plain smart." 

[Brian Fein]

I'm clearly the smartest one here, by far...

I think Fau, Stroke, JVides, BeefStewart, and maybe a few others can give me a run for my money, though...

[crazy_scar_man]

As Shonuff said, "Who's the master?"

I am the smartast

[JVides]

I am the smartast

Catchin' bullets with his teeth?  I am the Last Dragon.  Check out the glow, dude!

[BeefStewert]

I don't know if he is the smartest, but I think Maine contributes a lot of value in all forums.

Yeah, I'd say Maine and Sunstroke seem to be knowledgeable in a wide range of subjects, so while I can't say who's smartest (other than me, of course  ), I'd nominate them.

I checked with my legal counsel, and if I accept a nomination to be considered a smart fella, I lose my village idiot discount at Walmart. Thus, I must decline...

That leaves Maine! Heart like a lion, head like an egg. I say we stamp "mentat" on his forehead and make him answer tough trivia questions for our amusement. 


...modified to add: On a serious note, I've met quite a few of this board's members over the past couple of years, and I am convinced that the majority of the regulars on this board are of above average intelligence. This makes sense, because intelligent people often prefer the company of other intelligent people. If I had to grab 6 people from this board to start a think tank designed to study a diverse range of subjects, I'd probably grab (in no specific order):

Fausto, Maine, Brian, Lee, Phish and UK

...and roughly a dozen that just missed the cut that I would employ as consultants. 

[Frimp]

I's is got the mostest smarts than all y'all others guys.

I dun grajeeted the 7th grade of book lernin.

[Sunstroke]

^^^ ...and we hire Frimp to handle public relations.

[GUATARICCAN]

Not only am I the tallest, but I must say that I consider myself to be pretty smart. At least in my book.

I'll take that there job. Now, whoze you want me to relait in Publix?

[Philly Fin Fan]

I think it is, without a doubt, Drew and Richard (although I couldn't tell you the last time either of them posted) followed by Rocky and RaptorsFan29.

Why? Because they are the youngest members, and haven't had their brains polluted as much as the rest of us.

The wisdom in that statement means that Philly's smarter than most... 

[sugarbush]

I nominate Dave Gray.  He is really smart.
And by the way, smart men are sooooo sexy.
