Norm Weatherby at Quantum Thought posts a cartoon featuring Schroedinger's Cat (or maybe not). I suspect the caption on the cartoon has misspelled the word "bore", however.
Nevertheless, it reminded me of a filk song by Lee Gold:
He's a real nowhere cat, In a fully sealed-up hat, And his fate, it seems, is known, By nobody. We don't know if he can mew, Or if his nine lives are through, 'Cause observation is what makes reality....
There's more, but I won't violate copyright.
Too much.

Schroedinger's Cat...as in "boorish Behavior" see here:www.watchblog.com/democrats/archives/001622.html
or as in Boor- "a crude person with rude or clumsy behavior"
pp.197 American Heritage Dictionary, Second College Edition.
Fair enough.
It just strikes me as a weird context for that word. I can easily see just about anyone with a limited repertory becoming a bore at parties, but anyone who is a boor at parties would start out as one, and would not confine his boorishness to parties.
However, if you meant "boor", you meant "boor".
