I don't know- True Adonis was pretty entertaining and very intelligent. Holmes vacillates from dick jokes to a weak knowledge of physiology, usually with sarcasm added in to somehow to try to convince you he knows shit, haha.
Entertaining? His crazy lies did make for some funny shit, true (112 reps with 225 deadliest really stands out).
However, with respect, I disagree that he was that intelligent. Based on what I remember, he was just smart enough to fake his way past judgment of the most superficial filters set by painfully base people (e.g., that lunatic pervert David Mirza).
I remember him saying things like how "[he] preferred the accompaniment of intellectuals." He thought to talk down to someone was "condensending."
I was an adjunct English professor at a school he claimed to attend. I had kids like him who thought using million-dollar words made their essays seem more informed than they actually were.
I'd congratulate them on extending themselves, then quote my mentor, Dr. Boyd Davis, and say, "Congratulations on your merry romp through the thesaurus!"
Abeles was not very smart. Above average, perhaps, but he couldn't even master basic punctuation. Science became a proper noun and anything worthy of an apostrophe was with that stupid reverse
tick; e.g., I`m Adam.
All that said, it's difficult to take seriously a guy who wears a shirt emblazoned with.his own likeness.
Sorry if I mistook you for Abeles, John. That's a nasty insult, indeed!
