Niagara, ON The "I'm a Geek and Proud of it" Club

ummmm it works both ways. Not just males can be geeks. I found that article described me very well... especially the part about Sauron, Saruman and the Sarlaac.... I think I spent a few hours trying to explain the difference to a certain someone once.

And just to let you know, the female geek is much more rare... Just ask any girl who is considered a geek. For example, I went to a electronics/computer school. There was a female population of 3% when I was there, including staff, and it's gone down since then. I didn't really have any female friends there at all.

 

Us female geeks sure are rare. Especially those you proclaim their geekiness at the top of their lungs.

Guys that arn't geeks are never any fun though. I mean, they have such boring interests.

 

geeky girls? [face_shocked]

 

Here is an interesting statistic.

At brock there's a 3 to 1 ratio of females to males. When I was in 2nd year (note: that's important because dropouts just keep on going straight through until graduation) my friend and I decided to get a rough idea of the computer science ratio, so we counted in our database class. 0.0375 girls to every 1 guy.

 

It is disappointing that there aren't any more "geeky girls". It seems to be so much easier getting along with fellow geeks, than trying to impress those "others" who are attracted to "jocks"...

 

I'm considering getting the Jay and Silent Bob Collection....what does everyone think?

 

please clarify:

Jay and Silent Bob Collection
View Askewniverse Collection
or
Kevin Smith Collection

They are different things.

however it'd be nothing big just to pick up Scream 3 to make the Jay and Silent Bob Collection

 

While you are at it grab Good Will Hunting. Kevin Smith was an Executive Producer.

 

Hmm i believe i am going to have to be added to this list, But i would like the classification as a cool geek. While i maybe Geeky i am damn cool about it.

 

For my 1000th post I thought I would up an old favorite of mine that we all enjoy.

 

CONGRATS ON YOUR 1000th post


As Co-"person" of this thread... I declare this the "I'm a Geek and Proud of it and SamwiseGamgee's 100th Post Party Thread"

 

Lol well that is not necesary...but hey whatever gets the thread going again.

 

Now if only we had some Pixie sticks.....

 

That would be Tessa's department...i do comic books.

 

I just had to give you the dictionary definition of 'geek"...1.A person regarded as foolish, inept, or clumsy.
2.A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.
3.A carnival performer whose show consists of bizarre acts, such as biting the head off a live chicken.

Ok I think this thread is talking about definition #2 unless one of you bites heads off of live chickens!

I am so freakin happy. This was one of my favorite shows as a child and was the whole reason I got into Star Wars in the first place. I absolutely adored R2 and when I found out there was a movie made about them I was an instant fan. I have been now for weeks on a constant search to collect some of my most favorite TV series. I now have nearly three complete and am working on 2 more. Droids is my newest aquisition and has me dancing!!!

"I am not a geek, I just play one on the internet."

 

I love your dancing icon!

Teletoon has also picked up the new TMNT, as well as Clone wars, Actually giving me a reason to bother with that station

Wasn't Turtles on at 10 before?

this new time sucks. Now I have to wake up earlier (I like to sleep in saturdays)

Yeah I'm so glad Teletoon picked that up (for those who can't get Fox)

 

9:30 AM ET - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - New Time...No way! You guys still watch that?? I haven't seen that show in ages!

 

it's a new series. It's based more on the comic book than the campy late 80's/early 90's version. I really like the new one. They are at the "City at War" saga
