“I, a certified geek, will give you a rundown of how to pass as a geek for brief moments. Understand, these tactics will in no way work over the long term, like, say, a marriage. But in quick social exchanges, or to bamboozle your cow-orker, these tricks should work sufficiently to help you fool the rest of us into thinking that you’re one of us”Via Penguin Pete’s Blog

Okay, Penguin Pete needs to do a little market segmentation study to understand that all geeks are not the same. For example, I was a drama club/band geek in high school (and some would argue that I am still to this day). I joined the Computer Club because there was no female competition for the super-smart hotties who were members. But I prefered to spend my lunch and study hall periods in the band practice rooms, playing the piano. And all of my after school time was consumed by playing Bonnie in Anything Goes, Rizzo on Grease, and so on. Yep, I was a geek–and I know nothing about ST or V5 or Linnux.

Di, you’re not a geek. A “drama geek” is not the same. You are a nerd, you are a dork, you might even be a wonk, but you’re not a geek. Sorry, baby.
Diane, you are a geek hag! Di is a geek hag!
