darell is as smart as ...

It is of no question that darell is smart. But, just how smart is darell? Every time I try to describe how smart he is I am soon to discover that I have underrated his cerebral capacity. I have used similes, metaphors and even an allegory to aid in an appropriate, accurate description. I have come to find that it is possible that I am not smart enough to describe how smart he is. So, in some desperation, I ask for your help.

darell is as smart as...

From The Prior-Art-O-Matic:
darell is a fridge magnet that catalogues its contents! It contains the entire Encyclopaedia Britannica and flies like a rocket.

OK darell....now we know you are signed up on CPF under at least 2 names. "darell" & "Icebreak". Are there any more. David, can you do anything about this??? :>) TX

P.S. I'm assuming Icebreak really is Darell but looking at the profile, maybe not???

I think you have an S in the wrong place

Sorry, I couldn`t resist Especially as that`s what I thought it said originally. That`ll learn me to operate computers before my morning coffee...

Whoa! I guess my payments really are getting through to Icebreak on time! (not using FedEx, you see).

I'm with you there Chis. I too thought that some malcontent was bent on dragging me through the gutter. But I get here to find that I've been paid about the nicest compliment that I've ever received. There must be a catch... And I guess it is obvious that smartnitude is not tied to spelling competence in this case.

Now I have to go look up 'allegory' just in case somebody else uses one on me...

OK, fess up, Icebreak. What do you want from me?

(Note to self: Be more subtle in the future. Tex is becoming annoyingly suspicious)

As I've said before...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">treek13 is the closest so far. I just really would like to know how people would complete this statement: darell is as smart as...

... he's ever gonna be. So enjoy it now?

... his two-year-old?

... a lamp?

Hi Icbreak, I don`t think to many folks want to finish you statement. No one wants to hurt poor Darell`s feelings

Come on everyone...here a great oppertinity to do some Darell bashing.

Icebreak:

One of the later Oz books (I have about 15 first editions courtesy of my grandfather)introduced a character named "Button Bright". As Button Bright seemed intellectually challenged Dorothy mused about the wide variations in the buttons of the day from highly polished reflective silver to matte black.

I'd say Darrel is as bright as a button (with all the ambiguity that implies)!

Speaking of ambiguity, I always liked "smarter than the the average BEAR". With proper inflection, could be a compliment or not.

PeterM:

Maybe Mr. Ted. E. Bear could join Darrell as co-target (I mean, honored subject) of this thread.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">or should that be "...as smart as a Chinese toilet handle is handy...?"

..as smart as a solar panel on a flashlight...comes in handy sometimes, yet useless when its dark!

.. almost as smart as Harrkev

"Button Bright" ? He did have some Savantian brilliance. OK, I can see that.

Yes, well, now I'm getting somewhere. All fine and ingenious descriptions. Thanks guys.

Anybody else?
