I can admit defeat. And I do. Just please don't call me toots again.
This list is awesome. I think the Dungeon Master thing should earn you more than 2 geek points though. What sorta hidden capabilities did you unlock in your phone?
Dude, you write for a blog called "WRN". Enough said.
The problem with the Genius' post, in addition to "roots," is the standards by which he judges what is, and what is not, geek. Everything he has listed is steeptypical GUY geek. By those outdated standards, yeah, I win hands down. But the definition has changed. Therefore,we need to approach this with a more open mind.
...yeah, that was supposed to be "toots."
I don't think girl geeks are that different from guy geeks, I just think Marty can't spell...
I agree with PB. Chuckles just listed stuff he does, and then gave himself a bunch of points.
although I do think hacking your own phone should be worth more than 2.
you are a vicarious music snob... +1 Geek
through ryan and myself... +2 Geek(s)
Any geek off is going to be highly subjective/ Since I was going to win anyway, I figured I would give you a system by which to understand that win.
Yeah? Well I challenge Chuckles to a whore-off.
