Welcome to LCD

How about an FAQ for my inagural post:

What is Lowest Common Denominator?

It's a blog specifically designed to help myself cope with the countless number of morons that I encounter daily. These blights on humanity seem to have only one purpose in their failed, wretched lives: annoying sensible, intelligent folks like you and I (though I haven't met you).

No, I mean the name. What does that mean?

If you can read and access a computer, you obviously attended school long enough to cover fractions. I'm not conducting a remedial math course here, so I'm not explaining what an LCD is. Suffice to say, in this context it refers to the morons that plague all of our lives.

That was the best name you could come up with?

Well someone already took Surrounded by Idiots. I would have preferred that URL, but this will work fine. It's already begun to grow on me.

You seem like a bitter guy. You don't get many chicks, do you?

I'm actually hoping that this blog will attract bitter women. No, not really.

Detlef? Is that your real name?

No. But it was my name in high school German class, when we all had to pick German names. My teacher wouldn't let me have Adolph, and merely asking for it resulted in my spending two miserable years in her doghouse. In retrospect I see her point, and a decade later I hold no ill will. But I digress... the name is fitting because those classes had a high concentration of borderline retards. I never understood that. Smart kids don't take shop for an elective. Why did dumb ones take a relatively obscure foreign language?

What can we expect from this blog?

I'm not as bitter and pathetic as Maddox, nor am I a flat-out asshole like Tucker Max. I'm just a regular guy that gets frustrated when stupid people flaunt their stupidity. Expect to see me vent at the same situations, at which you might vent if you were motivated (i.e., annoyed enough) to start a blog.
