Did you ever watch the show called "Beauty and the Geek"? It was a reality show that paired up a beautiful woman with a smart guy. What interested me about this show was, even though it was a competition, the geeky guys were impressed and complimentary regarding the other geeks' intelligence and abilities. The women seemed vapid and competitive.
That being said, here is a snippet of a long, polite stream of consciousness heard in the back seat of my car the other day. Three boys with an average age of 12. Be sure to read with near-puberty voices and the smell of teen spirit.
"I would decorate my vehicle with shark scales to make it aerodynamic."
"You mean hydro-dynamic."
"Are you a mouth breather?"
"No, I'm ambi-respirous".
"By the time you figure out how to clone yourself so you can send your clone to school, you'll be out of school".
"I'm going to invent a jet pack."
"How are you going to power it?"
"With a nuclear pocket power source."
"That's not very eco-friendly."
"How about anti-matter?"
"I never thought of that."
