Well, I'm no LARPER, so I guess I lose then. I do nothing to hide my geekiness, but I wouldn't say that it makes me socially UN-acceptable.

Just found this in a friend's photo album on Facebook:

I'm geek enough to be posting on HCRealms with the rest of the geeks here, while playing with little plastic men wearing tights and underwear on the outside of their pants.

Oooh how about this....

I was so into Star Trek in middle school that I bought the Star Trek encyclopedia. I used to for an assignment in french class. The assignment had to do with articles that involved France or the language. I shared an entry from the encyclopedia about 'nanites' which I think were developed in France. So in a classroom of 3 to 1 ratio of (hot) girls to boys I would proudly share my article on nanites and their correlation with France.

Also around that time, my friends and I invested in the Star Trek pins and were planning to make our own episode of Star Trek.

The friend of mine is not only a woman, but a model. This is how she wants her wedding to be.

That guy beats Heroclix cake guy. The freaking priest/holy person is wearing a Darth Vader Mask. The only thing better could have been a picture of everyone at the Altar with those masks and all of the crowd watching. Again, for me its about doing things that would be under normal circumstances considered highly publicly humiliation or embarrassing, even if they are not to you.

So Songwriterz, going to work in that Spiderman outfit is pretty ballsy man, props, but on Halloween, it's kinda weak. Had you done it on a regular day, in February, different story. Also depends on how many people work with you.

The more MORTIFIED the situation would make normal people feel, the better IMO.

See my last post. Attached is a picture of the "Geek" in question

Oh well then if she's not the one in the picture, Heroclix wedding cake guy goes back up to #1 for now. ;-)

I once made the poor choice of buying a box of the new set of magic over paying my electricity bill. Yes it was stupid. But those cards looked so sweet by candlelight!

In the photo there are a bunch of guys (presumably groomsmen) and the priest. There are no girls in the pic, that I can tell. 'Course it's hard to tell, wearing the darned Vader and Stormtrooper masks.

When I'm crunching numbers for my job, whenever there's a sub 300 point number I try to match it up with the point value of clix...

"27.11? That's Black Panther and a Hand Ninja!"

That's pretty good! I've done that as well. Certain figures that I use more often than others tend to blaze their point cost into my brain and I think of them when I see their point value come up in random numbers throughout my day.

so biges geek thing the loads of heroclix and i go to a gaming store and play with them .

Haha. If it is a competition, I agree that this should be the criteria we look at.

We shouldn't be looking at who owns the most nerdy stuff, but still has a family or their own house. We are looking for those guys that are so geeky that it can interfere in every day social life. We should be looking for the kind of guy who epitomizes the stereotype, the kind of person that repels people with his/her incredible geekiness, but doesn't even realize that he/she does it, the kind of person that values the things he/she geeks out over human interaction.

Somebody like this?
