Post by: Zombie9920 on 9 October 2003, 05:52: I think the reason I ranked so high is because I like Highlander, Buffy TVS, I occasionally watch Star Trek : TNG, I've read comics in the past, I play online games and I build computers. ;P

Title: How big of a geek are you?
Post by: Zombie9920 on 9 October 2003, 06:58: Nahh, I don't consider Highlander or Star Trek: TNG geek shows(seeing how they are aired on Spike TV...the mens' network ;P). Well, Star Trek is a little geeky, but I don't really watch it that much. I do watch Highlander anytime I see it on though.

I don't read comics now. I did when I was like 6 years old.

Alot of normal people play online games.

The geekiest part about me is my knowledge of computer Hardware and watching Buffy. I don't put computers before my friends and woman though. I would toss my computer out the window in a heartbeat for my wife(as if that would ever have to happen).

It depends on how often you wear black shirts. You gotta have variety in wardrobe color for fashion/styles' sake man. ;P

Steve Jobs always wears a black shirt, and is hardly a geek.

And how exactly does fortune corelate with dorkiness? You might as well say that Michael Dell is dorky with that reasoning.

Gates is the richest man in the world and he is pretty dorky. For crying out loud, he wears his trousers like Steve Urkel. LOL!!!!!

Post by: Fett101 on 10 October 2003, 00:33: geeky adj.

Our Living Language Our word geek is now chiefly associated with student and computer slang; one probably thinks first of a computer geek. In origin, however, it is one of the words American English borrowed from the vocabulary of the circus, which was a much more significant source of entertainment in the United States in the 19th and early 20th century than it is now. Large numbers of traveling circuses left a cultural legacy in various and sometimes unexpected ways. For example, Superman and other comic book superheroes owe much of their look to circus acrobats, who were similarly costumed in capes and tights. The circus sideshow is the source of the word geek,

Post by: Laukev7 on 10 October 2003, 00:51: Thanks for your insight, fett. Better to be a geek than a nerd, then. As Viper said in the other thread, some geeks are actually proud of being geeks. If I interpreted this correctly, being a nerd is being both socially inept and geeky.
