I am known as a smart, witty intellectual - when asked what it takes to be an intellectual, I answer "to have someone around who is not one"
I am also known as a grumpy old man and all I can add to that is that I am REALLY OLD and pretty fat.

an intellectual is just someone whose education level exceeds their abilities.

I was the kid in the "Honors" classes (somewhat like AP) that hung out with the smokers and stoners, wore heavy metal concert t-shirts, and drove the '72 Chevelle with glass packs.
Edit: ^^ All my friends were jephthah :P

ehh... i was the kid who should have been in honors, but bought into that whole 'cool to be stupid' clique.... and eventually assimilated.
yeah: smoking, metal shirts... i wasnt cool enough for a chevelle. i just had a '74 Nova. With "Megadeth" logo painted on it. it was the "dethmobile" :)

Well, I'm speaking of late 80's. They were borderline classics at that point, but still much more common than they are these days. I'm only 38 :P

They seem to be. I guess way too many are finally succumbed to rust and time. You still see the odd 65-74 muscle car here and there, but getting fewer and farther between and they are starting to go for a lot more on the auctions these days.

My senior year I was voted 'most likely to end up in Warmsprings' which was where our state insane asylum was located which is what they called those things in my un-politic youth.
