What's the geekiest thing you do?

Hey Griffin:

I think that defending role-playing games as non-geeky, qualifies as pretty geeky .

 

This post sheds some light on your geekiness.

 

We've heard all about geeky activities I'm wondering if anyone will fess up to geeky physical traits like coke bottle glasses, bad acne, wearing flood pants and etc...

For me I will admit to being short and prone to wearing khakis with black socks and white tennis shoes.

 

I am the ultimate networking geek to the point that my favorite topic to teach is the binary structures in TCP/IP and how to break IP networks into subnets.

I have played at least a dozen 36+ hour D&D sessions.

Halo 2.

I was the top money raiser in the 1979 MS Read-a-thon in Tucson, Arizona.

Since I have started back to school, I have a 3.842 GPA.

I owned a DVR before Y2k.

I patched computer systems in preparation for the "Y2k bug."

The happiest I have been in my professional career has been in front of a classroom teaching computers.

I have a six digit ICQ number.

I got my Hotmail address before Microsoft bought them out.

I have seen every episode of every Star Trek series (with the exception of the last three episodes of "Enterprise," all of which are currently waiting to be viewed on my TiVo).

I own every Wierd Al CD as well as the live concert DVD and "UHF" on DVD.

There is probably more, but that is a pretty good list.

 

There is nothing geeky about owning UHF.

Quite possibly, the funniest movie of all time.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm teaching poodles how to fly.

 

You are STUPID! You should have taken the fish!!!

 

I tell you what I'm gonna do. If nobody responds to this post in the next five minutes, I'm going to club a baby seal. And I'll do it to, because I'm crazy.

 

I'll be OK as long as you LEAVE MY MOP ALONE!!!

 

I would if I could afford it. I bought the DVR, CDs, and the vast majority of the DVDs before I took an 80% pay cut in 2001.

 

Sometimes when I am riding in my convertible with my long flowing locks waving in the air I listen to something less cool than "born to be wild" like "Boots are made for walking".

How humiliating.

 

HEHE. I have 4 Gundam wing models posed atop my computer at work.

 

I became a worldwide celbrity screaming Lightning Bolt! over and over again.

 

"I have a six digit ICQ number."



YIKES!

You win.

 

I am rather proud of my six digit ICQ number.

 

my old ICQ was 1859326, but didn't use it for a long time and someone else has it now

I used powwow for the longest time

and my winning contribution, I had an internet girlfriend for 4 years

 

Thanks a lot. I'm sitting here at a computer in my high school's library laughing. Everyone thinks I'm crazy now.
