karenmeal 0 #6 April 7, 2006 What sort of genius issues pertain specifically to skydivers? I may not qualify for the club, but I am curious about your question.

livendive 8 #7 April 7, 2006 I was a member for one year. My personal experience with them included the realization that my being willing to pay for another year of membership should be grounds for automatically excluding me from that membership...i.e. it'd be dumb. Some people seem to enjoy their local chapter's activities, but I'm definitely not one of them. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

livendive 8 #13 April 7, 2006 Quotewhats their IQ requirement? They don't have an actual IQ requirement. They just require members to be in the top two percent of the population, as judged by any of several tests they'll consider for admission purposes, (including one of their own design).

I have zero doubt that you easily meet the admissions requirement, but I have a really difficult time imagining you hanging out with those boring stiffs. Does your group drink tequila?! All my chapter ever did was meet once a month to eat crappy buffet food, play board games, and argue about politics (Mensa politics...not local, state, or federal).

TheAnvil 0 #20 April 7, 2006 I don't go very often, but when I do I always have a good time. The Jax chapter has Dine-Out sigs which are nice for exploring new restaurants. There are no tequila drinkers up here amongst the Mensa crowd that I know of. Perhaps I should start a tequila SIG.

TheAnvil 0 #22 April 7, 2006 Dude - I'm totally in for that. You're a genius. I haven't been paying attention to what sigs are out there. Do those really exist? LMFAO.
