I dunno but I spoke to AC a couple of times and she said some really dopey shit (IMO), high "IQ" notwithstanding...and she never misses an opportunity to announce her MENSA membership and math skills. In fact, she seems to find some way to interject that shit into every conversation about anything. IMHO, joining MENSA in the first place is already Strike One because it's about as pretentious as you can get. Same goes for referring to yourself as someone who "could have been" a nuclear physicist or a doctor or a fighter pilot or whatever if the closest you got to that shit was one semester in college, because there are people who actually get degrees in physics and who get accepted into med school and who make the initial cut for military flight school and then still don't make it all the way to those goals. To be fair, she probably "could have been" an IT code writer or a musician. If I were "sanctimonious" I wouldn't have acknowledged that I thought another porn star does seem very bright. In my opinion, Tera Patrick and Dora Venter and Nina Hartley are all very "intelligent" and they're not pretentious to say what they "could have" been because all of them actually got their nursing degrees and (I believe) NH has since completed a doctorate in Public Health too. All of them can rightfully say that they "could have" been nurses or whatever. Admittedly, I do have a bias against anybody who actually takes the time and trouble to join MENSA, more so if they have to announce it continually, and I've never met one who didn't live down to my expectation.

Completely stopped listening to the trainwreck called THSS in January 2012 except for turning it on in the bathroom when I shit or shower and I wish I'd pulled the plug the day Artie left. It's so bad that I've actually gotten out of the shower to turn it the fuck off.
Clump, don't waste ur time explaining urself to that Illuminati troll. He's not worth the time or effort. Guy's on some kind of high horse popping in & out of threads announcing who he thinks isn't cool or he has, "fallen off of his list". Like anyone gives a fuck what his opinion is on anything.
That being said, you do bring up an excellent point about MENSA members. Guy I knew touted his MENSA membership on his Linkedin profile & even wore a MENSA tie pin bragging how hard it was to get accepted to this elitist society of braniacs. Then he goes and forges his educational credentials on his resume costing him a high paying job (with a Law Enforcement Organization no less), as if they wouldn't have discovered he didn't attend a real university. Not too bright, eh?
