Door closed all the way all the time for me.

In a sense, being well-read isn't something that anyone can do. Just like learning to play an instrument or speak a language, it reflects how much time you put into it, and thusly deserves proportional respect. And it can also reflect intelligence. I know a guy that can easily read a novel in a day, and can almost unfailingly tell you accurate facts and stories about the history of whatever you decide to bring up, completely out of nowhere. I could not do that if I spend every hour of my life reading National Geographic.

I have the capability to read and learn lots of things, but quite honestly I don't care much for anything that doesn't help me to cure boredom or find true love (which is really just a temporary cure for boredom, isn't it?) It is deserving of respect and admiration to be well-read, well-rounded, and informed. The issue is merely that knowledge of facts does not absolutely translate into weight of opinion. And also simply that not everyone wants that out of life.

Ha ha.....nice one.

I spend a lot of time reading Where's Waldo?. I think that says a lot about me.

The fact that you can never find him says far more.

I know where he is.

I wasn't talking about the prepubescent boy you keep chained up inside your mother's hope chest.

That's YOUR sick fantasy. You forgot to take your meds today.

Good comeback, rummy.

HE'S RIGHT THERE! AND THERE! AND THERE!

Google is expanding.

Oh no, I have the new book.

There's something subliminal in there, but I'm not telling what. That must make me an intellectual.

I am thoroughly impressed. You may now move on to I Spy.

I used to have that.

They still make those Waldo books? Fantastic.

there is a whole gaggle of them at borders.

Gaggle? I thought you weren't an intellectual..
