Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 22, 2015

I like reading “Doonesbury” because Trudeau is a competent cartoonist.

Are you in, genius?:Are you in, competent?

Rat has put his finger on the problem …………… every time he scratches his nose.

With Rat it’s an extremely lucky observation, but no where near genius. Of course by his own analysis of genius then he is only merely competent if genius only applies to him. And he’s barely competent.

Rat do you kiss yourself every day? :-D

“Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest -and you all know it! Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure,it’s not your fault.” – Rat

I wonder what it’s like to feel so good about yourself…

Because competence is so far beyond the realm of the ordinary, where incompetence is the rule, and is even enforced by herd conformity pressure.

Rat’s no genius. I know because I am a genius, and I never see him at any of the meetings.

Competently done, Stephan; competently done.

Are you in, cense?Are you in, doors?

I’m not calling Rat megalomaniacal. But I could. Goat could. You don’t have to be a genius to see that….

What I like is poorly designed products which go out. Then the people who dropped the ball in the first place are called geniuses for fixing their own mistakes.

All this time I thought my wife was saying I was inadequate…when what she is saying is: "Are you in, adequate…

“There’s no kill switch on awesome” – Scott Adams

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wile E. Coyote, genius. I am not selling anything nor am I working my way through college. So let’s get down to cases: you are a rabbit, and I am going to eat you for supper. Now, don’t try to get away! I am more muscular, more cunning, faster, and larger than you are, and I am a genius. While you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten. So I’ll give you the customary two minutes to say your prayers.- Operation: Rabbit, 1952

Of course, Rat.

i love when rat says something just right, then ruins it. 2 days in a row!

Competence is genius—because it seems so rare?

I am the real genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I can use that many exclamation points because I am genius.

That’s called “special pleading,” Rat.
