No clip for you!

You will have to let us know when/if this airs.

I thought Mensa was an acronym, too. Obviously, I’m not a member.

Hemant!

Thankfully, the videographer isn’t the producer, i’m sure. No worries. He probably gets that worked up when they put mayo on his hamburgers.

Why do people keep giving the name of the group as MENSA? It’s just Mensa, the Latin word for “table” — it’s not an acronym, so there’s no need to put it in all capital letters.

I thought the title was an acronym. I think I’ve always seen the letters capitalized, anyway. My bad. It’s been fixed.

Ah, Hemant, I think the cameraman was “patting” you down, not “padding” you down. Unless he was trying to cram you into a fat suit.

Well, now, that’s just embarrassing.

Fixed.

Gracias

Hemant will have to come up with his own reasoning…after all, I’m not a member so I can’t be held accountable.

Revoke his membership!!!!

Kate, I thought that might be the case with your post. It doesn’t explain Hemant’s use of it, though.

Not that this is really a big deal, of course; I’m not trying to be the grammar police here. (Trust me — when I am, you’ll know it!) I just wanted to let people know that it’s not an acronym.

I was putting EMPHASIS on the group name…you know, like when you EMPHASIZE a word in a sentence.

“That’s how you can tell who’s not a member.”
No. They’ll let you know if they are. Definitely.

Maybe the guy should have told Hemant that the clip was important if he’s going to get so pissy over it missing? Are they especially expensive or something?

Perhaps it’s not an acronym, but I think it should be; like My Enormous Noggin is Super Awesome.

Or Midgets Eat Narwhals on Sunday Afternoons.

McCain Evokes ‘Nam in Speeches Always.

Macro Evolution Negates Slavery to Allah.

With a clever acronym and a secret handshake, heck, I’d want to join.

Any other suggestions?
