Heh. I remember reading a quote once a few years ago that one of the definitions of a true intellectual is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger. The NPR station that I listen to at work was just playing the William Tell Overture.

Suffice it to say: I am not a true intellectual.

Dude. I can not listen to Wagner without thinking either "Kill the Wabbit!" or alternatively, from Nickelodean's Hey Arnold:

Ruth is a lightweight - a giggling geek-bait;
I'm here to thrash her - that's what I said!
Ruth is a loser! How could you choose her?
How could you do that, football head?

However, I think all of this *makes* me a true intellectual. *hee hee*

I can't read the words "William Tell Overture" without thinking of the Lone Ranger.

I actually think of Star Wars, because of a filk song set to it. *grin*

I don't think that makes me very intellectual though. More of a big ol' geek.
