FN: I'm hoping they're all rhetorical questions. I don't have the intellectual energy to answer them.
And in that Chantelle-like state, is it true that Doc Martens are cool again? So if I get myself a new pair of steelies, I'll be dismissed as a witless trend-hopper?
I have more books than magazines, more magazines than shoes, and a pink shoebox that contains old love letters. And I think that the production of the self in non-physical space is at least on a par with sex in the interestingness stakes.

Is that pairs of shoes or individual shoes?
plausible definition of an intellectual:
person who *looks* at books more than shoes....
Books with words in them, or picture books?
What about books about shoes?
Do you have to count them as well?
I've only got one pair of shoes. And they're red and falling apart in a decidedly Charlie Chaplin fashion.
I must be very intellectual then...
Heels or flats Spin?
[I'm guessing heels - multi-strapped, red Chlesea boot numbers with a kitten heel.]
(I'm quoting young Billster here):
"Yummers!"
Definition of an anti-intellectual...
Somebody who owns more magazines than books.
what if they're all nurse romances and chiltons' guides?
or anne rice?
i don't really want to know; that was just one of those not really a question thingies.
thats like a question but really isn't.
rhetorical.
a rhetorical thingie.

Shoes cost more than books so I'm obviously going to have more books.
I have more books than shoes, but the same number of eyes as feet. This is not a riddle...

how about someone with more books than DVDs?
I just looked in the *shoe* box under the stairs and couldn't find any shoes at all.
I have some slippers that I wear out and about.
Mules with feathers.
I keep the shoe boxes to put "things" in. I have more shoes than "things".
So maybe the ultimate definition of an intellectual is someone who only buys shoes to get shoeboxes, in which books may be stored.
I have more books than magazines, more magazines than shoes, and a pink shoebox that contains old love letters. And I think that the production of the self in non-physical space is at least on a par with sex in the interestingness stakes.
*adopts whiny tone*
Tim, am I an intellectual?
Buggered if I know, darling. You're the one with the MA. And you seem to know rather more French eggheads (têtes à l'oeuf???) than I do.
Oh, OK, yes, provided the pink shoebox is an ironic affectation, along with the whine.
or how about someone who TALKS like he's got more books than anything else...?
Anti-intellectual - smug and ignorant and indifferent or hostile to artistic and cultural values.
