 "Dumbing yourself down" around your peers?
patio11: If you're consistently the smartest person in the room, you probably need one of two things: new friends or a reality check.  Possibly both.The best advice I ever got about picking friends was that you should hang out with the people you want to be like.  In your case, you seem to not want to go directly from a strip club to a social establishment and get crunked.  Well, there is a fairly simple solution to that...(UrbanDictionary tells me my usage of "crunked" is wrong.  This is what I get for not spending enough time around people who are simultaneously drunk and stoned, I guess?)
