What makes you a geek?, ... what things are 'geeky'

I hear you on that one lol

same here guys.....i hate the bar scene, hell i dont even drink. id rather spend the night in with the gf and kids and relax and have quality time.......and play some video games! lol

I enjoy going out from time to time, but it's a rare occurrence and I never stay out long. We generally just have small house/apartment parties until 12-1, then go out for an hour or two...if we're close to downtown.

And those nights happens maybe once every month or two. I spent Friday night at home playing the Harvey Birdman game on the Wii...it's good for a laugh.

I went for Dim Sum on Sunday morning though, mmmmm....Dim Sum.....

Yup, I don't get out much either. I'd rather spend 50$ on comic books, DVDs or a video game before dropping half a c-note on a bar tab.

Gimme a 26er of Whiskey, a cigar, a patio deck and a few good friends on a warm summer night and I'm a happy camper.

I hate crowds.

I agree with all of that. Last time I went out I spent 20 bucks on booze (from the LCBO) before we went out, then only 15 at the bar(and we only spent 30 minutes at the bar before taking off for food).

When I got home the next day I still had some left over for the next time! Woo!

i'm all about the house parties, big fan of that.. don't have to worry about how to get home, comfortable seats, drinks are cheap. I still enjoy to go out to a bar for an occasion like a b-day or something, i just don't go out every weekend for the party scene.

last time i went out to the bar was over 3 years ago and i havent missed it one bit

to be honest.......last time i was drunk was over 3 years ago........and again, i havent missed that one bit either

That's cause you're not doing it right. :P

SO anyone notice.. its become fashionable to be a geek ?
Hell now you get Geek Posers and everything.. quite the reversal from years past..

geek posers!? what an outrage!!!

seriously though.........ive never seen one :(

Yeah, I've never seen one either - lol

How can you pretend to be a geek? Either you are one or you aren't! It's not exactly something you can fake for more than the time it takes for you to open your mouth lol

There is a little geek in us all....... hehe kinda reminds me of that "your sure you dont have a little irish in you" line.... hehe. I also would say a geek could become so handsom or pretty she may appear not geeky but is? I dunno, but looking geeky has always worked for me. Seriously I am a real babe magnet, i get all the girls1 OHHHHHhhhhh YEAH! ;)

i dont believe i look like a geek. i mean i dress normally, idont wear suspenders, i dont have a pocket protector or big glasses.......so i dont know...i think normal looks for me


but a big geek/big kid at heart

That's a nerd, not a geek. Get your shit straight! :P

Geeks look slightly awkward, but not unappealing. We dress in Jeans/Cargo Pants and usually wear a shirt, hat or accessory featuring a favorite character on internet lingo.

We dress casual but practical.

When we're not wearing a baseball cap, we probably have spikey or shaved hair and a poor attempt at a beard or goatee.

Girl geeks are harder to pinpoint, but can usually be found in Jeans or black pants. They rarely wear skirts.

haha...well alot of nerds are geeks lol

anyways...all my shirts are bland...i dont like logos or catchphrases. my last hat was an element skateboard hat (used to skate all the time) and the one before that was nike lol

although i do have two pairs of cargos....

So I noticed a few more members signed up recently that haven't posted yet... this thread is as good a place to introduce yourselves as any ;)

I'm a gadget and technology freak. Spidey can attest to that. I'm also very entrenched in computers as i do it for a living in the GOV. I'm rocking a triple monitor setup at home if that's not geek i don't know what is. ;) I'm also a gear head. Love video games and movies. That's the extent of my geekness.

I do the double-monitor, I don't have space (or video card outputs) for 3. I couldn't go back to a single though, not even a widescreen would cut it.

Yup, see the pic of my basement? that's all Inky's fault. He makes me spend mah money, lol.

150$ just to route cable through my house, lol. BUT... I'm apparently set for life with this thing, so it's worth it.

Next Purchase.. I need a Structured Media/Low-Voltage Panel. aka, a man-closet

That's just for your stolen cable service. Wait till we setup up the multiple satellite system... ahhhhh free tv is great :D
